[@kierrajanae]

I literally just started studying structural family therapy today lol love your videos!

[@StephAnya]

So happy to hear that! I was wondering if anyone would find it helpful haha. Thanks for letting me know ♥️

Hi Steph! I'm a newer faculty with NCU's MFT Doctoral Programs and you're a bit of a legend here...I thought I'd take a moment to check out what all the buzz is about, and sure enough, your reputation precedes you. This is quality stuff and I LOVE that you're creating these free resources for folks interested in MFT--and doing so in such a fresh, engaging manner. Appreciate the work you're doing--keep doin' work! 💪

[@StephAnya]

Hi!! Love engaging with the NCU fam. Thank you so much!! ♥️

[@travl.moore_777]

What a beautiful compliment to receive publicly! Well done!!

[@mariadriscoll8426]

Hi Dr V., You were my first professor at NCU. Small world! I agree with you she is amazing! Maria Driscoll student NCU MAFT

[@latoyalennon9696]

❤ YES, thank you so much. Your overviews have been SUPER helpful with understanding the different theories. Can you please share the difference between the broader view of General Systems/Cybernetics?

[@darleneroye4202]

Great video but I would like to make a suggestion to not play music in the background. It may be just me, but I find it distracting to have any music, tv, etc. in the background when studying or listening to a lecture.

[@StephAnya]

Thank you for that feedback! Makes sense. I encourage anyone who agrees to like this comment so that I know the general consensus!

[@kelseyfletcher6907]

I agree with this! The music was driving me insane. Even if it was just much quieter.

[@kl25101]

@@StephAnya I disagree I’ve been trying to find this beat. I loved it. What’s the name of this beat.

[@gemmalynn348]

That’s interesting. I didn’t even notice music until I read this comment. Sorry you had this experience. I find these videos to be very clear and informative! I hit the like button because I want us all to have a wonderful experience and get this knowledge! She really has great content.

[@tinacathey6558]

I just started my Masters in Social Work and needed help really understanding some theories I am currently learning. Your video has helped me tremendously and it is so easy to understand! I appreciate your channel. Thank you for sharing.

[@StephAnya]

I’m so glad that it’s been helpful for you!

[@nanza27]

I just had to come and tell you that because of the information you put in your video, I was able to grasp and apply and PASS my MFT national exam. I had two weeks to go and was growing very frustrated because I didn't feel like I was getting anything and then I came across your videos and I felt like a lightbulb went off in my head. I just want to say Thank you so much and GOD Bless you in everything you are doing.

[@aalayiavines-smiley9311]

Im currently in graduate school to become a marriage and family therapist. I really enjoy courses and I have a bachelors degree in psychology. I feel like becoming a LMFT is the right career choice for me.

[@cindyfisher1980]

This was such a clear description of the theory. I really appreciated how you put it in the context of classical v. post-modern and shared the strengths and challenges based on our current understanding of culture and family.

[@KathrynWhite-kl9df]

I am studying for my licensing exam as a psychologist, and I have been struggling with the family therapy questions on my practice exams. I've had pretty limited contact with family therapy models, and the descriptions I have been prepping with are super bland. The videos in this series are SO helpful - you make the theories come to life. I'm definitely going to be doing some more reading to further explore this world... once I've recovered from this exam hah

[@kalinag8227]

Those videos from the 90's that the MSW programs use just make it so hard to learn anything! This was such a lifesaver!

[@shirleychapman4200]

I love your reviews!!!! Thank you so much! What about Object Relations? Thank you!

[@musicallthewayy]

This has been so helpful with allowing me to really understand this form of therapy, as well as other forms of family therapy as I’m studying for my LMSW exam - thank you for this!

[@justbeinme57]

Amazing presentation on this model! I really appreciate your delivery style and the way you organize the information so that it's easily comprehended. I am definitely a new but ongoing subscriber. Thank you!

[@StephAnya]

Glad it was helpful!

[@liannegarcia1546]

Any chance you could talk more specifically about the creation/interpretation of genograms and family mapping?

[@StephAnya]

Oh that’s a great video idea!

[@mimend345]

Studying for my LSW exam, you explained this better than anyone ever!! Thanks girl!

[@StephAnya]

Glad it was helpful! Good luck!!

[@errinwillis6002]

I'm studying to sit for my exam and you explained this model soooo well! I'm a new subscriber and I'm excited to view more of your videos! Thanks

[@StephAnya]

So glad that you think so! Thank you!

[@CJOrtega5]

Love your videos! SO, SO helpful! Any chance you can make one on experiential therapy? We are covering this theory this week in class, it was not an in depth look or review of the theory and I'd like to see your explanation. I learn so much from your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge/understanding, and experience!

[@mynonposhlife]

Hi there! I am a fellow vlogger but also an online student at GCU working toward a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Being online doesn't afford the benefit of a human lecturer. So this video overview was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!

[@KodyBeld]

This is what I needed to hear. My family failed every rule. How'd did Dad failed everything? Usually a dad gets the "well, he put food on the table." A table? You must be part of King James I's family lol

[@karlairaheta3801]

Wow you explained so easy including examples. I had hard time understanding my professors. Thank you for doing this videos. I just subscribed :)

[@amiramakhlouf121]

great video, thank you very much...BUT could you lower or even delete the background music.. thank you.

[@jeaninetaylor8953]

Steph, great job on Structural Therapy! Thank you. Can you do Narrative next? 😁

[@StephAnya]

Yes! Already filmed

[@loeymurray7541]

Thank you so much for the explanation, I am a student of an MSW program and the reading did not help me much but you where able to clarify for me the structures.

[@LoLoKlang]

Thanks for this video- it helped to clarify and differentiate structural fam tx from other types. The continuous music in the background was really distracting-almost made it unwatchable- you don’t need it- your content stands on its own!

[@trinaarrington9629]

Thanks for your quick and concise explanation of Structural Family Therapy. Plus, I'm digging your intro and outro music.

[@StephAnya]

I love your videos, they are really helping me prep for my exam! Do you have a presentation on what DBT entails?

[@RebirthMFT]

Hi! I love your videos, you really break it down well. One request though is to take away the music, it's really really hard to follow.

[@amyrogers5390]

Great video with good information, however the background music is very distracting!

[@JuritaStrazda]

Liked the concepts and teaching. Background music was interfering with learning.

[@bb7170]

Do these concepts always focus on transmitting problems and exclude transmitting the positive traits in a family?

[@adrianhaley4819]

Not trying to be inappropro, but I love those earings! Curious where I might find the maker?

[@giftyachigibah5157]

Can a social worker or disability studies worker do the family therapy?

[@TBo-yq7qq]

Hi! Can you do the mapping with the family or this is something we do as the therapist ourselves

[@NallahBrown]

Not in school.. yet!! But omg this is informative and insightful. I especially LOVE the background history of the theory's inception.

[@NallahBrown]

Update: I am in my second semester of the graduate family therapy program taking the MFT Theories course. I am back on this video to review your breakdown on this theory :)

[@neville1103]

When working with families how do you determine what models you use?

Hey Steph Anya! Now I definitely fall under the "utilizing therapy to create my best life" group. Meaning I am not a therapist by any means. HOWEVER your breakdown was still simple enough for me to feel comfortable using the different techniques to better my family relationship. Thank you! Keep it up!

[@seankelly1366]

I greatly appreciate your knowledge as well as your insight on how the family structure was handled during the 1960's-1970's year period....I don't exactly know if it went over my head but during this period the man of the household was primarily a Veteran who served in the Armed Forces during the Korean War as well as The Vietnam War era.....Those individuals suffered a tremendous amount of PTSD which affected the infrastructure of the common, American household...just to make a note of that my dear.

[@Willow_Mary]

Hey Steph Anya. I love, love, love your videos! They are super helpful for my understanding of essential concepts I am learning about in my Master's program. I wanted to reach out to you because I've noticed that some of your videos have background music going while you are talking. For those of us who struggle with hearing loss, background music can make it really difficult to follow what is being said, even when captions are available. Listening fatigue kicks in as one strives to follow and fully understand the words that are heard and read THROUGH the additional noises going on at the same time. I wouldn't want to miss out on all that you could teach me due to this issue. So, I just thought I'd bring it to your attention and hope for the best. As always, thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!

I’m at a point in my life where I am unlearning “unhealthy” ways of thinking and learning “healthy” ones and it has changed my life so much for the better and now you’re telling me that we’re not supposed to tell others these boundaries because they can look differently in each family. Ugh, I do not like some of this postmodern way of thinking.
