Description

<p></p><p>Here’s the video version: <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/wcU7ch-MFW0">https://youtu.be/wcU7ch-MFW0</a> </p><p>This is a Q&A video and podcast series based on a question from a therapist in Glasgow, Scotland.</p><p><em>I hope this email finds you well.</em></p><p><em>I'm not sure whether this will get to you, but wanted to reach out as I have been feeling in a bit of a crisis with my practice as psychotherapist. And have been reading your book 'First Kiss'</em></p><p><em>To put it bluntly - there is too much choice! I am constantly distracted and preoccupied by the great myriad of trainings, books,  models, etc. And find myself paralysed at times on what to actually do with people. I want to help and be the best I can.</em></p><p><em>I have been excited and intrigued by your writings, and the writing of Dr. Scott Miller as well, and I appreciate that there are factors more important than the therapeutic school/model, but it still leaves me anxious about what do I actually subscribe to in a session, as I can't just do anything/everything, I still need to present a coherent narrative to my clients, and link that to the work we do together. Even integrative or transdiagnostic models (like PBT or Multimodal Therapy) feel overwhelming.</em></p><p><em>And when I look at Deliberate Practice, it seems great, but doesn't answer my overall questions.</em></p><p><em>I wonder, should i just pick a good, well-fitting for me, model, and then work at practicing the best version of that i can? Or whether I am missing something entirely?</em></p><p><em>So I wanted to write in case there was anything you could point me in the direction of reading or doing that could help.</em></p><p><em>Warmest regards</em></p><p><em>Peter</em></p><p></p><p>Timestamp:</p><p>00:00 Intro00:07 Email from a therapist in Scotland03:14 Step 1: What is your belief about how healing takes place?04:31 Step 2: Identify 2-3 approaches that resonnates with you. 06:34 Step 3: Your History of Change07:34 Step 4: Your Clinical History with Clients08:51 Step 5: Develop Your Own Blueprint of How You Conduct Therapy Sessions10:43 Step 6: Capture Weekly Therapy Learnings (WTL)12:29 Step 7: Retrieval Practice13:50 Our Misunderstandings of What "Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)" is.15:24 Invitation to Pose Your Questions</p><p>For previous podcast episodes, click <strong>here</strong>.</p><p>Submission of Questions</p><p>Questions have the power to bring us together, as questions put us on a quest.I would love to hear from you if you would like your questions to be answered in detail.
