Keep Talking: Reasoning with Unreasonable People 

Excellent, thank you. I've been married to someone like this for over 30 years and I have severe ptsd, anxiety and depression because of it. I always forgive and think he will realize how harmful he can be. The raging and verbal abuse just keeps coming out of left field. I'm too loving and merciful and see the good in him. How do I leave? I'm scared. I've invested so much and do love him, but I can't take anymore insanity.

My ex husband felt he didn't have to follow rules. At least the ones where he had a good chance of not being caught. fake handicapped sign, excessive speeding (speeds up to 90 -95 miles an hour with his young children in the car; pathological lying, cheating, breaking into my home; stalking, bullying people physically weaker than him and many more. In marriage therapy, however, he was charming and acted in a perfect manner. Charmed the female therapist that I was the "overly sensitive one" and couldn't take a joke regarding his verbal abuse. I thought I was the crazy one by the time we separated.

Beautiful! So beautiful! Thank you so much for the amazing work that you do to advocate for mental health❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic. This has changed my life. Thank you

This discussion is filled with a-ha moments on so many levels. Thank you!

What an excellent presentation.

27:38 could yall do an entire video with him talking in this tone of voice. I'd binge watch every video if it had that tonality. I'd take him even more seriously and would probably surpass every mental health RU-vid channel

I appreciate finding this session. I was so impressed that I plan to attend the upcoming program with Dr. Shannon here in the Washington DC area on October 25.

Wauw, this was eye-opening.

Thanks.

I just subscribed

This sounds too accusatory and discounting of people with trauma.

sadly generalised and the empathy seems acted out and not genuine, towards bpd patients... exactly why people with bpd dont easily go to therapy. ofcourse therapy is intended to be a safe place in order to deal with issues honestly, but already one is judged in this very "safe" place... what an unhelpful cycle the therapist helps to set up...
