Yassss!!! I’ve been studying for the national exam and have been going through your videos. I’ve been waiting for solution-focused! THANK YOU! My exam is October 22nd. Wish me luck 🥰
*Update Everyone* I PASSED!!!!! Thanks Steph Anya! Your videos on the theories were definitely a big help. I’m soooo excited. Thanks for the well wishes.
Can you do a video on EFT? I stumbled across your channel as an MFT student ONLINE! I have been struggling to basically teach myself and you are so easy to understand in your explaining of the theoretical process in each style!
Thank you for all your videos they are soooooooooooooo helpful, can you do a video on Emotionally Focus Therapy (EFT), or if you do have one post, is there another term that is used? So many, and can be very overwhelming.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the idea of asking a family or couple what they do NOT want to change in the relationship! It was a complete mind shift for me in learning about MFT! Thank you again!
In watching your videos I've heard you mention that you're preferred theoretical approach is collaborative. I would love to see a video on that please.
I'm sooo happy to have found your channel. The course I'm in now for my master's is couples and families therapy. Your explanations really help cement the methods of intervention, especially when you share how you would ask a question. Thank you thank you thank you
Steph, thank you for your helpful video, you make a number of good points. However you need to be aware of a few things: 1) the concept of visitor, complainant, customer was repudiated by Steve; he said he wished he had never introduced the concept. At the end of his life he saw everyone who showed up for therapy as a customer. 2) "brief" in SFBT has nothing to do with time or number of sessions. It means, " not one session more than is clinically necessary." 3) "solution talk" (or solution building) is not about problem solving. It's descriptive of life without the problem, not strategies for working through the problem. 4) In SFBT scales, 10 is always the desired outcome, not the problem. 10 would equal "care free and relaxed", 1 would equal worried or distressed. Thanks again for bringing this discussion to RU-vid.
Thank you so much for these videos!! I’ll be starting my master’s in mft soon and this is great at helping me to prepare. It is also a huge benefit that you are located in Atl because I am not far from you so your guidance has been very helpful in knowing GA’s licensing steps.
girl I hope you get blessings on blessings. youre channel has been great for mini-trainings to review modalities and simplifying them. you do a great job of simplifying it and make it engaging!
I absolutely these videos. I just wish there were more videos to help us study that were just the key points of the modalities summarized. With my ADHD I really struggle staying focused. I almost think I need the "flash card version" of these videos 😂
Hi Steph! Great video and helping to understand the therapeutic models better. I'm taking what will be prayerfully my last attempt of the LMFT test and your explanations are really helping. Would you be able to do a model review of Feminist Family Therapy?
How would you use narrative therapy and solution focused therapy with a substance affected family? I am going to school to be an addiction therapist for families and individuals. What are some self help groups such as Al Anon and Nar anon that utilize these models?
hello I just started an mft program and my first instructor assigned one of your videos and since then you have been a go to for me to understand each concept and theory. I really appreciate the clear presentation. keep the theory reviews coming
I graduated from the Erickson solution-focused coaching institute, omg this is so cool to hear this is derived from the SF Therapy!! It is effective, but I have to say feels rigid/limiting (perhaps due to the ethical boundaries of the professional coaching standards).
Please create more videos!!!! Whitaker, Bateson with general systems and cybernetics….one focusing on statistics because who really understands this lol Pleaseeeee from a fellow MFT seeking to pass my exam.
So glad I happened upon your channel. Definitely am a subscriber now. As an MFT student I'm trying to fill in gaps where I'm still not clear in yet. Thank you
I just love your videos. I have been studying for the exam and these videos are great! Can you create a video that looks at the DSM5 and how to understand the disorders for the LMFT exam? You have been such a help and inspiration!!
Not sure if you are familiar with him or not but I wonder what your take would be on Kevin Samuels from a solution based standpoint. I know solutions are different for every situation and person but for a woman who has the SINGLENESS issues he discusses as an LMFT do you think what he promotes his a good solution for women in general ?
I don't know if you've already done this one, but I'd love to see a collaborative therapy model video! I struggle so hard nailing down the concepts of that one haha!
How do they think that it's therapy if you are not in contact with the person for correcting or education purposes. You just going through the motions in that case.
Thank you! This was such a clear and concise video! I will be watching all of your model videos to help me prepare for my exam over the next month! I appreciate you! - Cortnie V.
Definitely, but when my clients really don't want to talk about their past it's usually because that's an area that's currently impacting them today. So maybe start with this and see how it goes.
