Psychological wisdom, both new and old, is more vital now than ever. This uncommon knowledge can help us live better, understand ourselves and others more deeply, and give us a deep understanding of our thoughts, emotions and drives. Imagine a world where uncommon knowledge is just regular, everyday know-how. That's the future we're aiming for. Join us and help make this happen.
A lot of Western thought seems to be very afraid of the subconcious mind. Its so interesting. I didnt see the subconcious as part of myself until therapy.
how can we heal from learned helplessness if our trust was broken over and over again by almost everyone in our life, and we don't feel safe enough to trust anyone?
You're reading my mind. I'm wondering these same things. I know what kind of help I need but I don't know how to make myself get the help. I can't make myself do the things to in order to get where I need to be. It's so hard.

You are far more educated and thoughtful than 99% of your field seemed to be. The problem is right now in psychology there is a war between actual scientists add pseudoscientist s. And the pseudoscientists have the power because they're the ones breaking in all the money. Most therapy is talk therapy at the science shows that talk therapy has an overall negative effect on it's patient Base. No one wants their Golden goose killed.. Until the actual scientists manage to take over most of psychology is simply credentialed guruism sold to the public as medicine. At Wendy professions still allows people to push lobotomy, electroshock add allow people who called themselves Freudians jungians etc to practice it is neither science nor medicine
Hi Mark. I reallt love your videos. I am a new counsellor ans just learning to find my feet. U had a depressed client recently but it wasnt thr best experience. What do you do when a client doesnt engage? He stayed for 30 minutes and felt tired and wanted to leave. He had no goals or interests and no significant special relatiionships. He could not think about whay he wanted for his future- not even for 2 weeks time. Whwre do you go when a client is quite avoidandant? It was like the lights were on but no one was home. Any tips? I was struggling to make any impact or get a conversation going. It felt like a lack of emotion....
Hi there, there are few videos and articles on Mark's blog that might be useful here. We have a video on dealing with avoidant clients: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--X2i1QDdS2E.html And articles on dealing with difficult clients on Mark's blog: www.unk.com/blog/category/dealing-with-difficult-clients/ Some of the articles in the depression category could offer some more tips (www.unk.com/blog/category/depression-2/), and some of these are available to watch on RU-vid here - I hope you find these useful: ru-vid.com/group/PLoty4kAAb_7GLm7wcWj9_qocKRcJtIiXP
The 2nd technique reminds me of the DBT concept of vulnerability in a behaviour chain analysis. What old history is showing up right here, and is the history affecting us? Ex: Someone asked for support in the past but was met with reprimand from their supervisor. This may be a pattern in their life when they ask for support When they want to ask for support with a manager who appears friendly they are highly apprehensive due to their past history.
Anxiety and depression are soul destroying. If I do manage to sleep a few hours I HATE waking up coz the cycle begins again. Awful feeling in my chest and its fight or flight 24/7. No respite. No relaxed periods. Its relentless and all consuming and its really hard to explain to someone who hasnt experienced it. You dont enjoy ANYTHING.. you dont look forward to ANYTHING. You dont eat, barely sleep .... Its so easy to delve into suicidal thoughts as a way to escape the exhaustion of it. Its unbearable!
As someone who does home health physiotherapy, I am so amazed at this video and your ability to help this client to achieve all that in such a short space of time seems quite miraculous!! It’s so wonderful to know it can be treated
Very short time indeed, However, the client he describes actively searched for help, showed a lot of insight, and seemed highly motivated and longing for change. These factors are crucial for therapeutic success.
Please make more content on this unique, though seemingly common disorder. I find it fascinating, but hard to understand why/how it impacts a person to the degree to which it does. More of your insight is requested.
It's stigmatizing to call a person a "hoarder" just as it's stigmatizing to call a person an "addict". People have disorders, they don't become the disorder. The disorder is not their intrinsic identity.
That's a very woke comment, it's no more stigmatising to add the adjective of hoarder to a person than other adjectives like mortal, endothermic sentient featherless biped, if they have that trait
I worked with quite a number of hoarders in the United States some years ago. Most were women and many had also experienced physical and or sexual violence from their partners who had served in the military during the Vietnam and Korean wars.
Nice of you to visit a client at home. I think the stage at which the 'to be discarded' box is filled is the most tricky if it does not leave the house strait away! It is really helpful to have a friend help with this. Often it is not as simple as taking it down the charity shop...
Got a friend who buys DVDs (many doubles and trebles) from charity shops and spends £1000s on state of the art TVs every few months. His place is rammed full. There is nowhere to stand. When I talk of throwing stuff out it’s never the DVDs.
You just tell it like it is! Almost as.. you actually want to help. Got prescribed things before they were absolutely useless as I thought they would be.
Been using Hypnosis for decades, it's done f%ck all for my PTSD, trouble is there are a lot of people claiming to have had PTSD , some will be faking it for business reasons, such as to get in clients for hypnosis at £100 an hour for a session of therapy!
Yes, but not being liked isn't the worst that can happen. I fear falling over and getting broken, because it's happened once, I'm in England, our health service is chaos, my local hospital trust is very poor. A friend who did fall recently ended up in the local hospital, and the care was so poor she had a stroke. Three months later she is still not rehabilitated and can't manage her life any more. In my mind that is something very real indeed. I'd like to be certain it won't happen to me!!
