I'm currently in a Master's Counseling program and this was so helpful to pair with the class reading on therapeutic techniques (they're super saturated and sometimes easy to get lost in, not to mention the long and boring outdated videos from the 1980s on counseling that we have to watch) but the way you explained this was so smooth to digest and understand. Thank you Steph, we future counselors appreciate you!

Same! currently in one of my last classes for clinical mental health counseling before internships. Family therapy seems a little out of the DSM-5 mental health realm. Very thankful for this video since I was hit with a 10-12 page paper to be due! Thank you Steph!! Your knowledge is greatly appreciated!

It's the "Therapist isn't an expert but more of a guide" for me. I always viewed therapy as the place where therapist tell you what's right or wrong. It's enlightening to know that isn't the case and an approach like this teaches that we all can provide the answers for ourselves. Sometimes it just takes a "co-author" to get us there. Excellent video! Thank you! Until next Monday!

I love your videos!! I recently graduated from my MFT program and I can say that the videos are a lot more informative on the models than some of my classes were 😅 I would LOVE to see a video on: 1. How to interrupt talkative clients as new therapist 2. Your experience with grad school 😊

Thank you so much Steph for posting these! I am in Grad school to be MFT, and this always so helpful when I am on a fully online classroom. You rock!

Aww thank you, Jared!

Thank you so much for these videos. You’re helping me understand so much better summarizing each theory. Ive studied for couple months now while dealing with PTSD, stress, and test anxiety. It’s been a couple years since I graduated from my masters program. I did not pass the exam the first time but I am going to take my second attempt tomorrow. I’m going to pass this test tomorrow I just know it! Everyone please send me good vibes so I can stay calm and retrieve the answers 🙏🏽✨ I am knowledgeable and confident. I am obtaining my Dreams and goals. Please Pacha mama protect me and keep me in the light so I can overcome challenges and move through this obstacle/ opportunity!

So I definitely came to your channel for your Northcentral MFT review. Two hours later, I'm diagnosing myself and er'rbody in my circle as I plunge down the rabbit hole of all your awesome videos! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and please keep doing what you're doing. P.S. NCU needs to sprinkle some coins into your account because I'm SOLD!!!

Thank you for taking the time to create these insightful, easy to understand videos. Blessings in your practice.

I’m seeing if I will enter a masters program, just did all my interviews. I really like how you brought out that NT is a way in reconstructing the stories we tell ourselves. It’s fascinating how many of these models seem to be applied theatre techniques as well!! I aspire to be a drama therapist working in family practices so your channel, concise and remarkable in its clarity, has been a great starter pack for me :) KEEP IT UP!

My question is have you created a tutorial on teletherapy? I was wondering what your method is or what you feel works best when explaining to clients the process and what to expect.

Loved this -really clear, thoughtful and impactful. I really appreciate it! Thank you. Studying an MAAT & this was so helpful after reading a confusing chapter!

Therapeutic alliance is certainly about an active and collaborative process and dialogue where a therapist's main role is to ask a client powerful, deep, thought- provoking and forward moving questions aimed at self- discovery, empowerment, choices , actions , commitment and acceptance of responsibilities. A therapist can also challenge clients and provide occasionally a feedback, assist clients in deconstructing certain meanings, finding purposes and faulty logic. However, it is ultimately the client who is responsible for her change, improvement and life enhancing outcomes !

I find it hard to concentrate on what you are saying with the music playing.

Hi Steph Anya, I love your videos! I rely heavily on the closed captioning as a hard-of-hearing individual and the captions for this video don't make any sense. When I saw that it was nonsensical, I clicked on another one of your videos, and that one was working fine. So, I'm wondering if it has something to do with this video specifically. If you could try the captions for this video on your end and if they are messed up for you or others as well, maybe see if you could fix them, I would greatly appreciate it!

Can narrative therapy be used with DDP and PACE? I'm a MSW student and looking for an intervention that can be used with a family. My classmates must role play as the child and parent while I role play as the Social Worker in a family therapy session for an assignment.

What if the story you tell yourself is all wrong, like in the case of weddings turning into divorce, tho that could be true, it discourages a person from getting married even though they may want that.
