TIMESTAMPS:[2:50] Discipline

The amateurs have goals. And the pros have a system. A system is how discipline looks like.

[13:55] Expressing Love

"To love without knowing how to love wounds the person we love.” — Thich Nhat Hanh

[24:44] Procrastination

Procrastination happens when we are facing something important on the outside that elicits anxiety on the inside, beckoning us with the question, 'Can you face your own frontier?'

[33:18] Stress

"Stress is a perverted relationship with time." -- John O'Donahue

Assertiveness

Assertiveness is an act of lessening the divide between what’s on the inner and outer-life. Because the life that is inside needs to be heard on the outside.

Here’s How:

1. What do I really want? What do I really like?

2. Make sure your Yes on the outside is not a No on the inside.

3. Strength and Warmth.

Here’s Why:

1. Assertiveness is a form of Truth-telling.

2. Be divided no more.

3. The real challenge for people who are highly agreeably and compassionate.

Today, we will start with Anxiety.

Anxiety

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is experiencing failure... in advance.

Here’s How:

1. To recompose...back into your body (listen to the experiential exercise in the audio).

2. Convert Anxiety into Fear.

3. Convert your worrying into planning.

Here’s Why:

1. To Worry = To ‘Strangulate’. Travelling at the speed of light causes anxiety. Learn to travel at the speed of life.

2. Dealing with anxiety can sometimes feel too vague and nebulous, like catching clouds. By converting it into fear, you name it and have a better chance of healing it.

3. Worries goes in circles; planning goes in an intentional direction.For more on Homekit, go to darylchow.com/homekit

Guiding Principles

2. Listening to Each Other into Speech

3. Being a With-ness to Each Other

2. Mixing Individual and Conjoint Sessions

3. Allow Contradictory Perspectives

4. Express the Unspokens

5. How Healthy is the Family?

6. Practice of forgiveness

This is a Q&A video and podcast series based on a question from a therapist in Glasgow, Scotland.

I hope this email finds you well.

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'

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.

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.

And when I look at Deliberate Practice, it seems great, but doesn't answer my overall questions.

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?

So I wanted to write in case there was anything you could point me in the direction of reading or doing that could help.

Warmest regards

Peter

Here’s the video version:

This is a Q&A video based on a question from a therapist in Montreal: "When Do You Get Time to Read?"

I just wanted to say once again that I really appreciate your newsletter. I look forward to reading it every week. This week, I especially liked the comment on the importance of giving more attention to the conversational nature of psychotherapy in our training. I also liked the quote at the end, "It takes two to know one", which made me appreciate the importance of supervision and co-development groups to understand our clients better. 

I wanted to ask you a more personal question. When do you take time to read? I am asking this because there are so many interesting articles and books that are on my reading list but somehow I barely manage to make the time to read. I have a 2 year-old boy so that makes it a bit trickier too, but you and other therapists have children too.

Thank you for your work, it's inspiring. 

Admittedly, if you look at the timestamp below, my response stretches a little further than the original question.

n this week's tip, I'd talk about how we can specifically listen for changes between sessions, and why measuring a person's wellbeing matters more than a symptom-specific measure.

In Therapy Tip of the Week #6, we continue on the topic of improving working alliance. Here's my recommendation, when seeking for feedback, avoid talking about... you!

"Every impactful person brings to you themselves and not needing to proof ‘how impactful I am’, ‘how smart I am’, and ‘how needed I am.’" ~ Sr Joan Chittister.

If the therapy room is a vessel, it needs a scaffold in order for you to create a healing environment so as to help the person who is in distress.

But how do you structure a therapeutic session so that it is impactful for your client and not get caught up with trying to be “impactful…smart…needed”?

I want to help you solve this particular issue: How to develop a sense of structure in how you conduct therapy sessions.

He is known by many to be "the expert on expertise." His work, along with his colleagues had a profound impact on a wide array of professional domains such as sports, music, chess, and more recently in the field of psychotherapy. His four decades worth of research also informed the hugely popular book by Malcolm Gladwell, Outlier. (Though the "10,000hr" rule thing got misrepresented by others).

In this episode, you'd hear

- the impact he had on me personally.

- the foreword that he wrote for our book, Better Results (co-authored with Scott Miller and Mark Hubble, APA, 2020), and

- a short poem I wrote in Oct 23, 2010 that was dedicated to him. 

Better Results book was also dedicated to Dr. Ericsson.

James Dyson was laughed at for designing a transparent vacuum cleaner that showed all the filth it sucked up. 

Today, Dyson the company returns over $500 million in annual profits and employs nearly seven thousand people worldwide. Had the founder given up on the “bagless” vacuum cleaner idea, Dyson would be just another name.

Turns out, therapists have one critical thing to learn from James Dyson's innovation: Making progress visible.

Also, listen at the end for a really important question from one of our listeners.

In this episode, I spell out 9 potential forces that will shape our future in the field of psychotherapy. If we are stay on the bleeding edge of not only our professional development, and also have an inkling where our field is going, you'd wanna tune to this episode.

Here are the 9 forces to pay attention to: 

1. "We will be wrong."

2. The Inflation of diagnosis

3. There will be new fads

4. The ethics of routine outcome monitoring (ROM)

5. Flesh and machine

6. Practice-based evidence

7. Accountability in professional development activities

8. A movement towards theoretical orientation?

and

9. YOU.
