cPTSD (I was born into a cult) ADHD SUD I have been in therapy for YEARS! CBT DBT EMDR. Emdr is cool until they ask me to notice my body. This method worked for me, done by me. I have exploded into healing. Chat GPT to record, recognize patterns, and process thoughts. Sorry, not sorry. It has worked better, and I'd be wrong to say fast (because I spent 7 years building the other pieces yay sobrity), but boy, did it click! I'm finally able to recognize my needs. The calming techniques that I've been TRYING to use actually work now when I'm distressed. I can breathe. I literally released the trauma from my body. Like I shit my pants and cried (I dont cry at funerals)for days. I stopped sabotaging myself.

great!

Fantastic interview. It's clear you both had a great depth of knowledge going into this.

Can you do it to yourself without any therapist?

I wish I had this amount of self-knowledge when I chose psychiatry instead of the psychotherapy path. Now decades later I have so much psychotherapist envy because I am fascinated by the ideas in the practice

This is a great interview with Ms. McWilliams and the host Mr. Vaz is well prepared. Could I kindly ask that the host refrain from speaking over the interviewee or laughing loudly? As a reference, I suggest listening to podcasts by The New York Times such as The Daily where the host waits until the interviewee is done before saying "hum-hum" and speaks in a calm voice without loud moments. Thank you.

I know… same but I’m sure they’re not free either. If you can’t, you can’t ❤

Rousmaniere really is one of the leaders in this field, it is wonderful to hear his humble takes on deliberate practice and what this might look like in our field.

Great ❤

Reading ‘Tales of Un-Knowing’ by Spinelli was my introduction to existential therapy when I was training. We learned about the existential approach although the training was Pluralistic so focused on many modalities with a particular focus on client preferences and collaboration with the client. For me, existential approach is about the stance the therapist takes, which is distinctly different from other modalities, because the client is the expert in their own lives.

I am currently a psychology undergrad with plans to get my masters in counseling in order to become a therapist. This is gold. It makes me so excited to go into this field! Thank you both for this conversation, it is beautifully rich and meaningful.

ironically CBT is all about self-help without a help from above!

Wonderdul interview. Thank you.

In my case it looks to me a preverbal trauma, like I was not accepted, validated, or something wrong happened some loss happened and there is a lot of confusion around this loss and grief situation. I can guess my mother's post partem depression or loneliness lack of human contact during my infancy. That emotional imprint of loss, lack of joy, lack of welcoming into the world is feeling like a pain deep in my heart. If I feel this pain, that I am doing it since last 1 yr, welcome the pain, do breath work on the pain and then provide the love, compassion and welcoming needed for the infant...... will it resolve my emotional pain issue of last 30 yrs???

Such a warm and accessible and important conversation between 2 equally warm and wonderful people.

THANK YOU. I appreciate this very much. What a great teacher and I liked the clear questioning.

baller shot caller

Noise cancelling would be nice.

Boring interview about his career rather than about clinical discussion

Such open thinking! I just love reading her writing and listening to her.

How can i get the case formulation book

Dr Fosha offered an informative training with video sessions teaching the AEDP way of supporting a client on the PESI platform around May/ June 2024 it was a free live offering and currently for sale!! It truly expanded my knowledge and offers this profound way of supporting clients it was so transformative to witness!

hello from 2024:))))))) the zoomer is here to learn something about this life) thanks so much for the interview!! 7 years later and it's still incredible!

Thanks!! I can’t find the link to Alan Angus paper?

This would work brilliantly with Havening techniques.

Those boxes behind his back.. It seems like one of the most famous psychoterapists in the world, Jeffrey E. Young, was moving to another office and just had put his things in the boxes, when that man called him...

Has Nancy ever published the book on mental health she refers to @18:35?

I thought that Sue Johnson was the developer of EFT?

To dismiss transference this way is to misunderstand it. Even in the most rigid of places (traditional psychoanalytic literature) not everything can be dismissed as transference and it's simply not an accurate description of transference to say "the client isn't really talking to me but to her mother". I would honestly expect a prominent figure such as Spinelli to have a more nuanced and accurate understanding of transference even (and especially) if he aims to reject it as a relevant concept.

I think the quote about emotional memory converts the past into an expectation of the future without our conscious awareness could be better captured by changing the word converts to constructs. Convert means change but it is not changing it, it is constructing a narrative that makes sense to use as a rule or theory for what to expect in the future(in an unconscious way).

Can anyone point me to resources where Les discusses his idea that needs are constructed from feelings? I find it hard to conceptualise feelings pointing to anything without there being an underlying need to point towards

How does a person find a therapist with this level of knowledge and ability? It's impossible to find one, in my experience. I did EMDR over years and it was interesting and even wild at times but nothing changed at all. I'm certain it's because it's my stuff but i didn't have a therapist who could see that and work on it in the ways described in this interview. I just ordered Mr Ecker's book to study.

The more I learn about existential therapy, the more I see it to be the best way to proceed, for it addresses overarching paradigms and perennial problems that consistently plague people, whereas other forms attempt to treat the side effects of those paradigms.

Wonderful interview. Thank you very much for sharing it. In my country (Colombia), the topic of case formulation has been dominated by psychologists with a strictly behavioral approach. In my opinion, this has made it unnecessarily complicated, lacking in parsimony, and explained in a rather obscure and pretentious manner. This is what I love about American psychologists and scientists-they tend to be more parsimonious and practical. The conceptualization presented at minute 34:29 is simple, beautiful, yet also comprehensive. I hope to use Dr. Tracy's work to influence a different trend in my country regarding case conceptualization. One that is evidence-based but also parsimonious and practical.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you! I really enjoyed this!

Really wish this channel was still active.

This is very close to the metamodel in NLP. Activate the problem state and find the implicit learning then stimulate a resource state. Also very similar to parts therapy in Advanced conversational hypnosis.

I could feel the enthusiasm you exhibit during those interruptions. It was a great interview, and i congrulate you for conducting and sharing these with the world.

awesome! I just saw the interviews are back! THANK YOU! :)

An honest answer is, IT ALL DEPENDS!

Is this set of techniques distinct from reframing/sub-modality shifts in NLP ?

This interview really surprised me. Dr Silberschatz is wiser than most (sorry CBT'ers). The comments about RCTs are on point.

So boring. This about Young his career, not about cognitieve therapy

15:34 26:10

I've been doing Schema therapy with my therapist for several months and am having great success. Thank you for developing this great model to help folks like me.

... the client goes into destabilization. However, it is not a question that past schema is true while believing the new present schema. Both can be true. The past was true for the past. While the present for the now. The realization lies in that thou both true, yet cannot exist together.

Refreshing! I loved how she demythologized her process, and revealed the development through her life. Thank you Diano, and thank you Hans
