Hi Steph. I am thanking God for u. The moment I discovered you, my understanding of MFT Models has grown 1000 fold.

The whole seminar and visualization techniques were amazing, we had to set goals picture goals, to set a scene see ourselves in this scene and how we would like to interact with all around us

[@KarelAnderson-LaFleur]

I am currently taking my MFT exam on October 21 and I am using your videos to help me understand theories. Thank you SO much!!! It can be overwhelming to try to understand all of this information. When I read , it just all runs together but your videos helps make sense of it all.

[@mmamanavictormatsheletsa5458]

You just make things easier for me to understand. We are blessed to have someone like. You might as well consider lecturing in one of the colleges or universities.

[@RUlatoyiajackson]

The way you just gave the best high-level overview of this theory is giving... that I need for you to be a professor (if you are not already). Thank you!

[@christinaricciardi8415]

I love this ! I love your videos!!! As I am in the early phases of my masters as an MFT I really appreciate this info! Also I mentioned in another comment I am a serious fan girl of Virginia Satir lol! I love you highlighting her contributions to our field. She was truly ahead of her time and I think she did so much to usher in a lot of the post modernists concepts we have today . In my humble opinion I think experiential theory helps us enact peace in the world through our field and that is a revolution! Keep on shining !🥰

[@suziethomas4635]

So helpful. Love your way of breaking down the different therapy models

[@skyeyellin8660]

Your awesome at explaining the theory well. I just subscribed to your channel. Your ability to communicate your thoughts is very on point.

thank you Steph❤

[@NDObeats]

Very informative!

[@liliramirez2331]

Hi Steph! Truly can’t thank u enough for your videos. So my question is, how do you know which model to use for each client? Do you use the same model for the entirety of treatment or pull from several ?

[@candicebraham345]

I want to know this too!

[@relaxivegotthis]

Most therapists focus on one model that fits their style and/or clientele, and pull from other models and techniques as appropriate.

[@KidsoftheBlackHole21]

Echoing what Jason replied. Most clinicians tend to pull from a variety of models, usually finding one they align with and stick closest to but still pulling from others

[@LYNNKIS39]

I follow you, well subscribed and I think you are wonderful!!! Thanks for what you do.. smile

I met v.satir 40 years ago in athens,in marathon 3 days workshop. She slowed how projection works, it was amazing. She asked us to close our eyes move for 2,3 minutes into the room we were and touch the person standing in front of us keeping our eyes closed. Finally we had to open our eyes and tell Express the feelings we had of the person standing just in front of us. This unknown person made me feeling uncomfortable, she reminded my mother's best friend who was critical and narrow minded, she was no educated, living in a village at the time,while the lady was a psychiatrist living in Athens the capital of Greece

[@Willow_Mary]

Hi Steph Anya! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. I was wondering if there are any books on Satir's Experiential Model of Family Therapy that you would recommend for those of us in school who have just been introduced to this model and would like to learn more? - Willow

Hey there! I love your content. Do you have any suggestions for movies or tv shows that include diverse people and family configurations (e.g., single family, non-monogamous, grandparents raising grandkids) alot of the recommendations I get show more "traditional" or "nuclear" families. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

[@TheOGProtestantMormon]

You mean toxic, as in toxic masculinity while forgetting the toxic misandry. right? Yeah. Satir is too dated and was ridiculous then. She is celebrated, but slightly dusty and woke before her time. The basics may work, but her approach was largely feministic and did not exactly taking into consideration men and their story--if at all. The dated nature of her work rest largely on the times in which it was developed where egalitarianism was more traditional. By today's standards Satir's experiential modeling would have to calculate how to compete with the lack of marriages, the iPhone addiction, pornography addiction, social media influences, etc. Beyond that, feminism has done such a good job at dividing men and women, experimentalism resembles a boxing match of words.
