The Dark Side of Your Emotional Needs: Challenge
To what extent does boredom - the lack of stimulation and true challenge - cause your clients problems? Or even, dare I say it, you or I sometimes?
This video is all about the Devil. Well not specifically, but it is about boredom and the potentially terrible effects of not being challenged and stimulated. It's been said, you see, that 'the devil makes work for idle hands.'
Boredom is toxic and its effects can be worse than many realize. From gambling or having affairs or bullying and even 'murder for kicks' to feeling life is meaningless, not meeting our need for challenge has consequences.

Thank you Mark, I’m going to become a Human Givens therapist and a registered Psychologist because of you ❤
I'm not a therapist, but I've been following this channel for a while. I find the content very interesting. In particular this video resonates with my personal experience. Whenever I don't satisfy my creative need, I'll experience these incredible nightmares and I'll tend to immerse myself in catastrophic thinking. Well explained Mark, thank you for sharing.
Just what I needed to listen to, thank you
I really enjoy the “dark side” video series, thank you!
Thank you for explaining this. I really appreciate your efforts to do this video 😊
Excellent subject and another angle to think about when seeing clients. Thank you!
Fascinating! Very insightful!
Very thought provoking... 🙏
I was wondering, if you haven't done it, if you could do a video on self-sabotage as a coping mechanism in response to trauma. I have high-functioning autism and a hostory of trauma, and when I get overwhelmed I turn self destructive, almost detached or relishing it. I read it may be due to self-hate which I wasn't aware of. But a video elaborating this and possible solutions would help. Thanks in advance!
Very helpful, thank you
Wow that’s scary and amazing, thank you
Another excellent video.
Yes , Creation, is creative !, the universe & all in it, There is the positive & the negitive, its all in & part of the creative force, it sits in our own heart, & in our thoughts & mind is the choices, good bad positive negitive, the devil does indeed make work for idle or wrong hands, or we strive & overcome & grow towards the virtues & the good , its an inside job, its sits there, & the battle is there, in seeing it, in truth & clarity, & then in choice,
This is very interesting because it seems exactly what one of my clients experiences when he can't stop eating food is in front of him at a buffet style restaurant or at parties.
This is a really interesting perspective. And I like the metaphor with water - really simple and poignant.
Awesome
Ive been greatly influenced by reading Carl Rogers recently. I managed to set a good climate in some relationships and help people that way. But i found in very futile indeed to repress being disinterested or iritated when dealing with some people, but still talked with them because I wanted to help, which just lead to burnout or compassion fatique. How can one be authentic and transparent in the relationship without simply hurting the other, when negative feelings occur? ( just for context, by relationships i dont mean friends, but helping random people on discord servers, because i would like to be a therapist in the future :) )

You don't always need to be transparent. 'Discretion is the better part of valor" as the saying goes. btw if you are going to be a therapist, you may get bored with some, but it will be because your curiosity may be damaged.
thank you, i do like what you said "in the words of bob dylan"
Is Mr. Tyrrell still alive? No new video.
Hey Mark, I was wondering if you have any thoughts on how to help someone with BDD. There's not a lot of content about it and your insights have always been very helpful.
Have you written any books about this?
