Demonstrating a therapy appointment with Kati Morton

[@patrickdodds7162]

It's cool to see Kati do her thing! (I've always been curious.)

[@IDrankTheSeaWater]

havent self harmed in a year and 4 months

[@vinny142]

Thanks for that.

[@Mountaingoat4234]

Damn, why are you so negative? Fuck off dude

[@GiveupforJesus]

That's awesome!! I realize you wrote this a long time ago, but I hope you're still doing good. It's a real struggle.

[@sunni6610]

That's AMAZING!

[@PrincessPixieBell]

I want Kati as my therapist so badly D=

[@Genin99]

+Pixie-Chan Same I love her empathy and her ability to understand people.

[@lolstrass]

Me too but kinda feel like she is already

[@JustCallMeKim84]

Same even though my therapist is amazing

[@ashtonvids4167]

[@MichellePinkCat]

Me too!!!!!!!!

[@sagewillow8294]

i like the way kati talks not using too much psycho babel she talk to you like more on your level it would make me feel alot more comfortable speaking to a therapist like her natrually wanting to open up

[@emrose333]

What if you don't know how to explain it when they first ask "what brings you here today" it makes me anxious just thinking about cause idk what say when that happens cause I don't really know the answer I don't know my feelings really and I have a hard time explaining things to people

[@IDrankTheSeaWater]

+Emsickles Maybe you can say exactly that. Tell them you don't know what to say and everything you just wrote here. They are trained to know what to say or ask to draw people out and help them talk or feel comfortable.

[@christopherjohnson-cu9nr]

One to one counselling is a complete waste of time and money. It is not a branch of psychology or psychiatry, it's practioneers need no skills or talents.

[@BMoniz]

I have this problem to at times. Listen to your gut. Try to slow yourself down. Sometimes with anxiety just starting at anxiety is the hardest part. After you start you realize it was not that bad actually.

[@Pielobyte]

christopher johnson counseling, true, but psychotherapy, another story.

[@KendraGraceT]

Sometimes writing it down works especially if you have a learning disability. Particularly in the realm of processing issues.

[@mackenzihobbs2299]

as bad as I want Kati as my therapist, I'm still terrified of therapy.

[@MissAdamLambert888]

Please go for it. Investing in your Mental Health is literally one of the best gifts you can give yourself, I swear.

[@breakingbad4207]

it's like having a friend you can talk to but instead that friend can help you . therapy isn't a bad thing and is not something to be scared of .

[@IDrankTheSeaWater]

+TheRandomness98 No. We made it shorter for the vid. It normally lasts 50 mins to an hour.

[@pixie1310]

Do you meet with Kati?!

[@RonLarhz]

This a real session or acting? I like everything except that overpowering eye contact... Idk in person but frm the vid i feel a little uncomfortable with piercing gaze. I wish my current therapist will be prompting like this. Cos so far i find that I'm the only one talking and i have difficulty talking!!!!

[@CarolinvonPetzholdt]

Wow. You are so open with your life. Sending you lots of prayers and healing energy. Thank you for this video.

[@Genin99]

I always had trouble finding therapists I trust, I just subscribed to Kati since she has great advice and she seems like the type of therapist I would trust.

[@Vanessas985]

You are an amazing person for opening up so much in your videos. Thank you for sharing, it helps people so much.

[@SarahSubey]

I stumbled across this video on accident and I think it was exactly what I needed right now. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@callumjames84]

SarahSubey there are no accidents

[@valerieb3866]

that close and no break in eye contact would make me feel pressured XD

[@AUnicorn666]

I wish I could talk that well to my therapist (I just sit there thinking about what my body language is saying)

[@allie54774]

Me too! Its really hard. I went in and just blabbed so much at my first session because i needed to explain what i had been dealing with on my own for years but now im finding it hard to really open up

[@huiniverse9243]

I can relate but my advice is to plan your sentences early (before session) , it’s okay if you stutter or become silent or blank out. One time I panicked and just kept saying “umm uhh” for like 15 minutes lol but sokay, the therapist will help you through it

[@blurthecolors885]

This makes me so much more comfterable about seeing a counselor

[@jdprettynails]

This was really interesting. Thank you for sharing. My therapist would ask me questions like "So when do you think you started to feel/think this way?" and I'd start telling her about my childhood, when the problems started and she would always interrupt me "you're getting off topic, that's not relevant to now." But I was just answering her question....

[@emily-pl6dc]

jdprettynails That’s annoying! Maybe try a different therapist?

[@BlueHeron654]

This is the best thing I have seen here on youtube. Your interaction with Kati is great. You are kind and brave to share. It provides hope for others. It took me seeing 20 therapists before I found the right one. And still I'm fearful so I do Skype therapy instead. Never give up.

[@dapper_rose9347]

I tell my parents about my mental health concerns and that I have "scary thoughts" but they just say I should stop worrying and that I'm fine. But, I'm not fine. I've been having "scary" or intrusive thoughts for about 4 or 5 years now 24/7 everyday, and I've been having to touch certain objects a certain amount of times, go back and forth to touch an object etc. and it's very annoying. My mind is like, 'touch this 5 times or else..' (Or else something bad will happen, I will do something bad) and these thoughts give me so much anxiety and fear. My parents won't take me to the doctors because they think nothing is wrong. But, they don't know what's going on in my mind and how much I struggle every single day. I want to get help, but I don't know if I can.

[@GangstaBambi]

Rose Bud Hi there, first of all I don't know if it helps but I send you my support an compassion. Secondly I'm not a professional in any way but what you're describing sounds like it could be OCD (google it if you don't know what it is). It depends on how old you are but you can go to your school counselor and either just talk to them about it or maybe ask them to explain to your parents that this is a serious matter and you should seek help. If your older (close to 18) you can wait until you are 18 if your parents are really not supportive. But generally if you can get any kind of help, imho, you should as soon as you can, especially since you want to. Good luck and hang on! :)

[@dapper_rose9347]

MissLoraXP I have searched up OCD several times and I do believe I have it. I am 18 and not in school so I can't talk to a school counsellor...I can go to the doctors on my own but my parents wouldn't let me because they believe nothing's wrong and that I should stop worrying. But I have been having self harm and suicide thoughts and it's just getting worse. When I tell them I have these thoughts all they say is, "why would you be thinking of that?" "Don't listen to what people are telling you to to." But it's in my mind, and it's just so annoying. I wish I could get professional help and get diagnosed with whatever I may have so I can live happily and not have so much anxiety, fear, and panic 24/7.

[@GangstaBambi]

Rose Bud Oh, I see, I'm sure you probably tried to explain this to your parents in every way. My parents also don't understand really what I'm going through so I know how hard it is. Personally I'm planning on starting therapy soon when I'm 18 and I think that you should try to do what you can to treat yourself even if it means going to therapy without telling your parents about it, or calling a hotline that has experience with this kind of cases. Just talking to them could make you feel better as well. You don't deserve suffering like this and not even being in a supportive environment. I hope you'll find a way!

[@dapper_rose9347]

MissLoraXP Thank you. I hope you have a happy day.

[@GangstaBambi]

Thanks, you too. And people always tell me wanting to get better is the first step so at least we have that going for us :)

[@lmowle]

Well done to both of you! I am currently working on my Masters in Counseling but am also seeing a counselor on my own to make sure I don’t have any blind spots of my own. Thought it seemed pretty accurate to how I’ve experienced a session as both the client and counselor. Thought both of you seemed very open and personable which is helpful. Melissa brought up a great point at the end. I have found through working on my own stuff and working with classmates but with real concerns that the counselor does not necessarily have to have experienced the exact problems the client has to be helpful. I fully believe that living life is hard for everyone and anyone who has actually lived it will have a hard time to not have difficulties after navigating through the hard stuff. So we can use our own journey to help give us some insight into a piece of what’s happening. Even if we did have similar problems we will never have the same experience so will never know exactly what is going on with the person. I believe Kati is absolutely correct. The willingness to be there and walk beside the client as the journey is made is key in the therapeutic relationship. Melissa thank you for putting yourself out there so all of us can learn. I am very impressed with your strength. It may look different than you intended it to look at the age of five but I would say you are a beautiful soul and have definitely “won”. Thank you both!

[@DaLizardLady]

Rants are good ...they get people talking...Keep ranting and keep helping people! My daughter and some friends are putting together a short film about their high school friends issues. The had them send in Anonymously their stories.....It was startling how many of these submissions were cutters and almost all of them were suicidal. Wish I knew who they were so that we could get them some help if they arent getting it! Stay strong Mel!!!

[@MissStillAlive]

I have a wonderful therapist after having some bad experiences. For some people like me it's hard to guide the session (I never knew what to answer to the question "what brings you in today") and they like a bit of guidance by the therapist... For me my therapist does this perfectly - she specialized in DBT therapy and behaviour therapy is more guided and ... kind of clear than other forms of therapy. So that might be something some of you could consider! :)

[@stephdevorah3267]

Thanks for this video. I think I'm going to tell my parents I want help soon and this made it less scary.

[@PreshKidd1887]

This video was very helpful! I've been to therapy before so I know the process, but just listening to the things you were talking about made me feel a little bit better. Thank you!

[@buddhafx5973]

REMERON!!! Lightning fast I got her french Canadian accent!! I'm from Quebec!! Saw where she's from after watching her bio!

[@jackpullen3820]

For all you who are fearful of going to therapy, it is so much like this comment posting to one another. True, it's not in person, but when you do go to one in person, it isn't that bad, and you will likely feel stronger even if it doesn't work with the first therapist. There are more and you will find a good one because you deserve it! Good work Ladies on the video!!!

[@commonercoffeeaddict]

Yesterday I've tried a first therapy appointment and I know I'm not going back there, it also made me feel like shit for the whole day. I go in after a 30 min delay, I spent that time telling myself not to feel anxous; first thing the therapist tells me in a very hars voice was go on , talk, and 5 seconds later rolled her eyes. I first sketched my most impending problem, but I really wanted her to ask me stuff, and for the rest of the 40 mins she moralised me, and treated me like I was just like the rest of the people my age, wasting time on the Internet and maybe I should do some chores around the house to apease my fam, I don't think labeling me like that was professional, that I should have come to her in 2013, why didn't I, that I'd wasted time I cannot account for (umm, romanians don't have a culture of treating mental health, don't judge me for doing it now), that I should have given up my major in the first semester, she said that repeatedly while I was remembering in my head reasons and stuff and all I did was look down and keep myself from crying. Then the time ended, more or less, she wasn't sure cause she didn't know what time we'd started, but allowed me some 10 mins more, and I made a quick summary of other stuff. She wanted me to call her later, gave me her number, I couldn't say no, but I'm not going to. I was so dissapointed cause everything I feared a therapist would be was there, I was ashamed cause she moralised me in the same way my parents are capable of, but also I lost money doing this.. so I wanted to check this vid. I would indeed try a different one, but not now, cause I have to pass an exam at school, reason for which I set that appointment in the first place, and I can't have myself feeling like yesterday. Also, I'm affraid psychologists in romania may not be as good as those in english speaking countries, many mentalities, attitudes and practices are vestigial from communism.

[@OhhowHelovesus777]

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I had a similar experience a few months ago. So don't worry, it's not just you or Romanian therapists. There are quite a lot of insensitive ones here too. I'm trying again now, hopefully it goes better. I pray you've found someone better too.

[@tapasya1]

commonercoffeeaddict hi

[@tapasya1]

I am sorry and extremely saddened to know this happend to you guys. You did not deserve to be treated this way. I agree there are insensitive ones out there but there are plenty of compassionate kind therapists too who have best interest of client. I am myself a therapist and love to help people and therapist should never be judging and moralized their clients.

[@RonLarhz]

Damn... That's sad. I've met a shitty psychologist and was affected. It added to my depression/hopelessness until i was admitted and met better therapist.

[@aestheticenergyinc.9614]

i had a similar first experience but now i tried a new one and she so far seems better so it might take a while to get the right one but its worth it

[@IDrankTheSeaWater]

even if you dont know what they are, you still have reasons and the therapist knows how to talk with you and try and draw those things out even if it takes time. They might cover lots of topics to see how you feel about them and sometimes how they link up with the ED or SI. You know about you and the Therapist is trained to know how to work with you. You dont have to know the answers off the bat. Therapy is a lot about self discovery.

[@kaylat3427]

About to go to my first therapy appointment today. I'm so scared

[@IDrankTheSeaWater]

Its not so scary once you get into it. The therapist will guide the convo so it should go smoothly. I hope so for you.

[@yannagrl24]

Watching this is giving me so much anxiety! I want help, but I hate talking to people face to face. I don't think I'll ever be ready to take the plunge even though I talk about going a lot. I just want a magic wand to fix my life and forget everything from my past.

[@imaginareality]

yannagrl24 I know you wrote this like three months ago and things might have changed. I hope, you're doing okay. Anyways, if you are still very anxious about going to therapy, maybe you could write things down and then just read it to your therapist. Because I know that when I went to therapy, I could not speak. It felt like I didn't know any words and my throat was shut. Writing things down at home and then just reading them really helped me. I hope you can get the help you need!

[@yannagrl24]

***** Thank you for those kind words. I'm still anxious, but I've definitely thought of what you've advised on my own and it's probably what I'll do. I'm definitely better at written things than speaking them out loud. I'm kind of having to put things for myself on the back burner as things with my family aren't so great financially, but hopefully they will soon.

[@laclochard]

yannagrl24 Maybe you could try having an online therapy session, I mean via Skype, I know some therapists are open to that possibility, and maybe that could make you feel more comfortable.

[@heartbreakvigilante]

the trial & error can feel ruthless, cause you have to lean on resourses within your own self-esteem, that aren't there (hence partly why you need someone to understand you) and then you get the external barriers, like I will openly say I have a disability and people always think I've just injured my knee up & then when I'm anxious my voice feels near non existent and I will just say, its worth considering yourself important enough to find a therapist who will listen, we're all human, them too.x

[@Mysti13x]

Melissa this is a great video. My first therapist I was going to have just didn't click with my personality...lucky she quit and I ended up with a new therapist who is well brilliant and perfectly suits who I am.

Ive been in counseling 10 yrs. I NEVER found The right one until 6 months ago. I had a few that just didn't get it & basically thought I shld just snap out of it. Ive had roughly 15 counselors in the 10 yrs. I stayed with some for awhile but they really didn't help or they gave up on me. So yes you really have to go through trial & error so to say at least I did & it sucked. My current counselor struggled similar to me so she has helped me so much cuz she actually understands unlike the others.

I wonder if Idranktheseawater had all the diagnosis she talked about on her Chanelle over the years. I recently saw where she was giving up the KZbin vlogs, I wonder if she's having better days with her torrets and stuff?

[@IDrankTheSeaWater]

I was misdiagnosed with a few conditions over the years, like BPD, Bipolar, ADHD, and some things that I thought were hypnogogic hallucinations were actually flashbacks from trauma. So, I didn’t have all the diagnostics I talked about, but all the experiences and symptoms were true. I have Tourette, OCD, C-PTSD and DID, and used to have an eating disorder. The DID was confused for several other conditions, so it turned out that rather than a bunch of explanations, it was mostly due to trauma and dissociation. I am doing well. There are still struggles, but I’m moving forward in a positive way. My Tourette tics are less severe overall than they were until a few years ago, but still quite present.

[@ImTJandMJ]

@@IDrankTheSeaWater thank you so much for this update. I'm so happy that you are doing a bit better, sorry for ll the misdiagnosis you had to got through I'm sure it had to be tough.

let's say you never been to a therapist before or took any medication but you think you have a disorder like OCD. Can you tell your therapist that? Like you think you have OCD but isn't sure; will they start having sessions with you regarding that topic to see if they can diagnosis you with it?

[@annieausten1784]

Well for me I went to a GP to get a recommendation for a therapist and the GP asked some basic questions and diagnosed me with PTSD. (Questions about my past and how I was feeling etc). Then my therapist started treating me for it. I don't think it is the same for everyone but you can go in with an idea of what you have and tell them and you can go in with no idea and they'll help you either way. Good luck

[@lolmac6456]

I'm about to start therapy, just wondered when you first started therapy how long did it take you to really go deep and talk about all the sensitive stuff?

Awesome Kati!

[@NCC-1701_no_bloody_a_b_c_or_d]

I answer honestly, so in therapy I don't have a problem telling everything if the therapist asks the right question. The problem is I get nowhere, I don't get any help. I've gone through the assessment and I got a letter that they had sent on to my psychiatrist listing all these problem I need help with and saying they don't know what to do because I don't want to be there. I can't make myself want to be in therapy. My life is going to hell and I can't do anything to stop it.

my first session I just looked at the chick like "B**** im not talking to you ._." then on like my 4th session she was wanting to put me on a depression pill, and wanted to test me for ADHD. Like what the heck. I wanted help so I told my teacher I could trust, but then she told me that if I didnt tell the councilor, that I she could get fired if anyone else finds out. so I was like dang it... -.- so yea. I got help the hard way. not only did my teacher know, but so did the school councilor, and my whole family. then my family doctor, and then the shrink.

Pills are overprescribed. Good discipline (honest work, structured purposeful activities) and good nutrition work wonders with out unwanted side effects. But those arent as profitable. At least nutrient supplements if not a dietary change but I'd detour around any shrink who wants to give drugs without even addressing nutrition.

I finally decided to get help I've had problems all my life I tried before but after waiting and having appointments cancelled I gave up and just isolated myself or would have a drink to function then crash . I've become such a chameon that takes ALOT of work to try to be normal. Now I'm afraid at my apointment I'm going to be brushed off and told you're normal. I have bipolar and a few other issues but I'm older and have mastered being somewhat normal in public when at home I'm bouncing off the walls. ( I've always got someone on top of me forcing me to behave a parent a friend someone one i m dating. Or a boss. My ex says get help but then says shut up don't tell that, I told you you have to earn affection and I warned you about talking tangents or being negative or being sad snap out of it . Instead of staying up for days and sleeping all day get it together. Or is on me about my anxiety and says just pick up the phone and schedule a class..or makes me interact with people. It sucks because it tears me up inside and i just want to shut down but have someone on my butt aways( threatening me?) Or on me to be quiet don't fidget smile pretend to be happy go talk to that person . Its exausting and if I'm defant I get chewd up one side and down the other.

Fucking five years old?Wow! Good for you for putting that out there.I saw a video by this "therapist" and thought she was bimbo and a charleton. But she shows in this video a genuine ability to RELATE. Which is the whole point of therapy, or LIFE.

[@amrali2565]

Kati I like your videos very much... I would like to know if you have something about emotional affairs specially when it is with a person from the past and how to get out of it...

+Amr Ali Kati was a guest on my channel for this video. You can find her channel under Kati Morton

How much is an average appointment cost?

[@jjDub331]

I pay $60 for my sessions.

[@rory3155]

Alexandra King I saw you on a Kati live stream last night!

[@imnoone122]

the thing is that here you can say the reasons why you self harm and why your eating disorder started, when i have to go to therapy I don't know the reasons and I just don't know what to say. I don't think i should even have depression or anxiety because all the reasons for these things are stupid, i don't really have any reasons, so I'll just stay quiet not not talk.

[@everyloss]

I love you Kati and Melissa

[@alisadufour8109]

I feel like this with my mother shes my biggest trigger

[@IDrankTheSeaWater]

Good questions. Bet Kati could tell you.

[@diabeticdork7159]

The one therapist I feel like I can actually talk to lives in a different country and doesn’t know I exist ✌🏼
