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

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?

[@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!

[@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.

[@davidpasco4413]

I'm a counselling student. I've been watching your videos directly after reading the chapter on each corresponding topic in my text book. It's been hugely helpful for me to gain a full understanding. I appreciate your efforts greatly.

[@StephAnya]

I’m so glad that it’s been helpful!

[@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!

[@MorganBrooks-s3h]

Been scrolling through KZbin videos just to get my mind off my depression ever since my boyfriend left me. I can’t believe I wasted 6 years of my life. I hope I get past this stage. What do you all do when you can’t get over someone? I still want him back.

[@DonnaGutierrez-p8q]

Losing someone you’ve been with for 6 years can be very difficult. I’ve been in a similar situation, so I understand your pain. My marriage of 7 years was on the verge of ending before a spiritualist helped me restore the love we had. I hope you get through this pain.

[@MorganBrooks-s3h]

Thank you. I want him back-I can’t get over him. Is it possible to share information about who helped you? I’d be glad if they could help me too. I hope this goes well.

[@DonnaGutierrez-p8q]

Sure. His name is Father Akabu. You can search online for him-I’m certain he can help you.

[@MorganBrooks-s3h]

Thank you for this.

[@CCHDTrainingEducation]

Steph, I am father of two teenage kids. My spouse left me unexpectedly three years ago. I quickly realized that our family had issues. The divorce was supposed to be amicable. The kids quickly sided with their mother and my oldest daughter showed signs of anxiety and strange behavior when all four of us were together. I asked my ex to go to family therapy and she refused. I’ve been isolated. I’ve learned so much about enmeshment and intergenerational family trauma. This video was a great and quick reminder/summary of much of what I’ve seen in my family. We are getting help. My ex finally agreed to work in family therapy. But it has been a painful process. We are making progress.

[@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

[@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.

[@mimend345]

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

[@StephAnya]

Glad it was helpful! Good luck!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@chrystolenerolle9293]

Hi Stephanie. I cannot stop sing your praises for the work you are doing by helping me to understand these theories in such a simple and profound way. Thank s for all that u do. I have been searching but did not see your work on Collaborative Language Systems Therapy.

[@pigma98]

Thank you for this quick overview of Structural Family Therapy. I'm currently an MMFT grad student and I feel like I just don't get a lot of the family systems theories. I watch your videos a lot and they have helped immensely!

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.

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.
