As a psychologist who had experienced a major career shift as well, I am most impressed by this speaker. What a great transparent description of his personal journey! He delivered an articulate, educated and personal account that will resonate with many gradstudents trying tojuggle grad school while working. Great choice in a speaker!!!

You have to remember that when the narcissistic wife beats the crap out of her husband mentally and physically it’s hard for a man to bring to light that he was abused by his wife… His wife has physically abused the first born son by slapping him across his face when she got mad at him then throw him from his high chair , this happened when her husband was at work and she would text him about what she has done. Alanna Clarkson of Sooke British Columbia should be in jail. There is a lot more to this that I’m not going to mention here that she has done.

Anything that makes it easier to do business ruins it for real business people. This is further enhancing the most lazy and inept people in therapy

I can understand fact witnesses n i can understand the therapist need to be compensated but i can't believe in this day n age that so called expert witnesses especially when it comes to mental health as it is clearly far more open to interpretation. We've all seen personally but more often real life television court room shows with the so called experts for the prosecution n defense completely at odds. One cancels out the other.

I hope you dont charge people for talking about this in the first session. Give them the paperwork on their own time for them to read n ask of they have any questions when they cone in or by all means explain something in 5 min. No one wants to pay for you to explain in detail all the things they already understand. Especially anyone who has already been in therapy. We are already only checking the situation n you out for the first couple sessions. Its extremely expensive for us to try people out but its necessary. We dont want to do this with several people.

As a client, cbt helped me but harmed me a lot. As a grad student I hate cbt with my passion. Sounds ideal And seen as ideal and evidence based but its not validating at all. Very pathologizing

Yes therapists lie to their clients. They push their dope, sell you out to insurance and rake the money. Therapists are nothing but trash.

NO SUCH THING AS GUN VIOLENCE !

Therapy is a sociology degree. Sociology makes up bigoted conspiracy theories about men and teaches them as scientific fact. Challenging that bigotry, openly naming it as such, and making radicalized critical politics unwelcome in the space is the solution.

@polymathpark 🎥🎬 Incorporating the themes of Dwelling, Truth, and Grace into your concept of “Secular Chocolate” could create a profound yet playful song that balances soulful reflection with humor. Here’s how those ideas could shape the music, lyrics, and performance: Thematic Interpretation: 1. Dwelling: • Representing a sense of home, comfort, and being present in the moment. Chocolate becomes a metaphor for dwelling in earthly joys and appreciating the “now.” • The lyrics could explore how indulgence connects us to life, to community, and to ourselves-a space where we find meaning or escape. 2. Truth: • Truth could signify honesty in desires, the acknowledgment of earthly pleasures, and the balance between lighthearted fun and deeper introspection. • The song might touch on embracing human imperfections and celebrating authenticity without pretense or guilt. 3. Grace: • Grace ties into forgiveness, acceptance, and the beauty of everyday pleasures. Chocolate, as an accessible and universal indulgence, becomes a symbol of grace-a gift that brings joy without strings attached. • The tone of the music would reflect elegance and flow, much like the feeling of grace in life. Lyrics Sample: Verse 1: (Dwelling) “I built my house on sweeter things, Where rivers flow with chocolate streams. I find my home in every bite, A sacred joy, my heart ignites.” Chorus: (Truth & Grace) “Secular chocolate, the truth sets me free, No judgment here, just you and me. A taste of grace in every square, Dwelling in sweetness beyond compare.” Verse 2: (Grace) “It’s not divine, it’s just the way, Life pours its blessings day by day. With every bite, I taste the truth, The grace of love, the joy of youth.” Bridge: “Let’s break the mold, there’s no divide, Sweet truth is where we all reside. Dwelling together, hearts in tune, Grace in the sunlight, grace in the moon.” Musical Style: • Instrumentals: A rich R&B/funk groove, with a soulful bassline, silky keyboards, and soft percussion. Think Marvin Gaye meets Earth, Wind & Fire. • Vocals: Smooth, heartfelt delivery with a charismatic lead singer, harmonizing backup singers, and gospel-inspired climaxes to emphasize “Grace.” • Dynamics: The music starts soft, builds up in intensity with each chorus, and ends in a rich, uplifting crescendo. Visual Aesthetic for Performance: 1. Setting: A cozy, glowing stage that feels like “home” or a warm café, with earthy tones to evoke the idea of dwelling. 2. Props/Costumes: Chocolate-inspired visuals-swirling liquid projections, golden lighting, and performers in elegant, flowing outfits that symbolize grace. 3. Choreography: Smooth, flowing movements with moments of playful interaction between the performers, reflecting joy and unity. This blend of philosophical depth and soulful indulgence could make “Secular Chocolate” a song that entertains, inspires, and leaves people smiling. Would you like me to expand on any part, or are you ready to run with this idea?

Sheesh, is grad school even worth pursuing anymore?

Thank You so much 🙏🏼 Patrick ♥️

It makes me sad to hear that Patrick's work is being negatively questioned in this article. Watching Patrick's KZbin videos has helped me so incredibly much on my trauma healing journey. His work is NOT just about going non-contact. It's SO much more layered and nuanced than that.

Patrick Teehan and Dr. Ramani saved my life!!! Thank you x

Female emotions are encouraged, mens emotions are condemned. Also in therapy.

I love Patrick’s work, and have followed him for a long time, he’s really helped me in my healing process. I went no contact 4 years ago and am now very low contact. Patrick is very validating to those who have really suffered from childhood trauma.

Love it🩷🩷🩷🩷

I watched Patrick for years and it’s not all about or even 50% no contact He is excellent I’ve completed no contact myself How he is describing the New York Times is why I boycott it

Women provoke anger and if man express it he is treated as abuser. I know this game. Repressing anger makes you weak and it's exactly the purpose behind it. I know it from home, school and finally from marriage. My ex-wife worked on making me angry to the point of being aggressive. It wasn't meet with understanding in theraphy. Being angry, even if obviously provoked is problem with ME. Seriously? 😂 Therapists allow for abuse in the name of "fighting with violence". You therapists are contributing to male abuse. You're disgusting to me.

Great discussion. What we need to understand here is the concept of continuous, exponential, and accelerating improvement. The AI therapists will improve noticeably every few months... and NEVER stop improving. It never stops getting better. There is no ceiling or limit to intelligence nor the ability to mimic human emotion. If we understand all this, we can see where this is going. 👈👈👈 All human knowledge work will at first be supported by AI, and ultimately, replaced by AI.

Dr. Craig Childress has outlined 3 diagnostic criteria that should be met if alienation is present.

Mine havent spent xmas with me for 18 years. Ive never abused them, they happily take my love and money then leave me on my own every xmas and even refer to their fathers relatives as “their family” but im not referred to as “ their family”

My cynical theory is that "coaching" is a way for people who don't want to get a license to do therapy. This is in no way to disparage coaching! Getting a license gives credibility and access to insurance, but it also can be expense and time consuming and it has limitations. I've read a few books about coaching and it all really sounds like CBT to me? Like it's just stuff from my CBT books but with different labels. My theory is that this distinction comes from perception of therapy as basically psychoanalysis (or stuff similar to it).

I think that the "bad" pop psychology comes in two forms: good stuff that has been exaggerated/dumbed-down too much, and nonsense that has been dressed up to look like it's actual psychological science. I also think that one of the big dangers of pop psychology is how seductive it can be to researchers...I mean, you can toil in obscurity and poverty doing legit research, or you can dress up some talking points, tell people what they want to hear, and leverage your credentials to build yourself into a brand.

My guesses would be that 1) a lot of men aren't interested in talking or stereotype therapy as something that it isn't and 2) it takes a long time and a lot of money to become a therapist, which then doesn't pay as much as other careers with that amount of education.

Calling out the isreali government is not antisemitism. Jewish Americans are Americans

Great episode Curt and Katie

Great episode Curt and Katie

My last therapist was a F****ing idiot.

Sorry, but I think its deplorable that you are laughing about lying to your clients - you know, those people who come to you for help and of necessity must be raw and vulnerable and honest in the process of opening themselves to you, the therapist who is supposed to be honest with the client. I would absolutely NEVER use either of you for therapy, since you are essentially laughing at the difficulties of the clients. That makes you bad people.

It’s been pushed to 2027 now I called this morning and was informed by the nurse I spoke with

sometimes the difference is in the goal, where it's leading. The task of getting at the truth can look like having an agenda, for instance. It still helps to pick things apart with honesty though.

Therapy has a public trust issue. The modern culture/politics of industry associations and training sites essentially alienate a significant portion of the population. This emphasis becomes a dilution of the individual, an imposition of external ideologies, and a distraction from deeper issues. Therapy becomes a mere tool for social engineering.

Interesting a show about men and men's issues and the woman instantly wants to make it about women's issues in marginalized men's concerns once again. This is why men want nothing to do with therapy and therapists. It is basically a female domain run by women for the benefit of women to screw men over.

Love Mr Kelly but the word salad of the interviewer is distracting and diluting the message

What is the FB page she mention? I’m trying to find her book. This was such a great talk.

Men tend to be rational. Your field is increasingly not. It's not a good match.

Amazing video good job 🖒

It is a biological reality not social reality

Pictures can prove a positive relationship with the child.

Gross 🤢

yes it is- im burnt out and looking to walk away

Shoulda called this one "when is it acceptable to discriminate against men", and the answer seems to be, "when you are a woman"

I have always found cbt to seem very condescending and ultimately naive. I do not want to imagine a new set of beliefs that might he more convenient, and then try to convince myself that I believe them instead of what I actually believe. And I spent years doing the "behavioural approach", making myself do things even though i didnt want to, and spoiler, it never made me feel better. I do not have such a poor understanding of myself that I cannot predict how certain behaviours will make me feel. It didn't help decades ago (parent saying "you'll enjoy yourself once you're there!") and it doesn't help now.

I got certified to become a I got certified to become a peer support specialist through RI international in San Diego california. I love the way they did it! They started first with a class to learn how to help ourselves they gave us tools for us to work with in our own recovery and then we did another class on how to help others. And I love the way that they did that. I now move to New York and I'm taking the peer support classes to become certified in new york. But I don't mind because what I didn't learn like there to become certified in new york. But I don't mind because what I didn't learn like there to become certified in new york. But I don't mind because I can carry what I did learn in California and learn new things here in New York because I'm sure there's going to be things that I didn't learn in california. So actually I would like to be certified in all states so that I can keep learning from people different ways to do it because the most important thing to me is being an effective peer advocate for others.

Therapists have to be careful not to locate the problem solely in the individual. Friendships are no longer prioritised in our culture, and it's hard to make friends.

It treats them like defective women. Not hard to awnser.

Men need a complete hearing with plenty of safe space to say what is truly on their minds supper fine details need well packed answers that work. Such as There is no agency for me as a individual.
