Let's Talk About Therapy: A Roundup

January 24, 2017 Ili Walter
Let's Talk About Therapy

This week, I've been invited (inadvertently, by my Facebook feed) to reflect upon the work we do as therapists and consider its meaning in the larger context of change and society.  I've come across several resources and articles that have and do explore this topic.

As I look to be more human with other humans--including clients--I am always encouraged by those who ask questions about influence, power, strategies, and how these impact and impede real relational connection.

Today, I am sharing some resources with you that inspire me and my work. 

Person-Centered Process:  The Soul of Therapeutic Change, Blake Griffin Edwards, LMFT

In this article, Griffin cites Frankl, Kierkegaard, Rogers, and other humanistic thinkers as he makes a distinction between a therapists' knowledge about the client and their experience of the client.  

True Calling Project, John Harrison, LPCC

What is a true calling?  How do we seek it and find it?  Harrison searches for answers to these and other questions on his vlog turned podcast, the True Calling Project.  Harrison and his guests discuss mindset, possibility, the role of suffering in achievement, merging your career with your passion, and other topics on living and working purposefully.

The Good Therapists,  Alison Crosthwait

Merging her writing and her insight into the human condition as a psychotherapist, Crosthwait brings voice to the quiet truths of therapy--things that are present but not often noticed or contemplated.  Conscious and unconscious choices, cognitive and emotional conflicts, and the small ways in which we negate what matters to us and others are some of the human, relational observations that Crosthwait presents on her blog.

Psych Rally Podcast, Martin Hsia, Psy.D.

Exploring a wide range of ideas relevant to psychotherapy and mental health, the Psych Rally podcast features guest therapists and mental health advocates.  Hsia invites listeners' questions, so that host, guest, and listener can struggle together for answers.

The Radical Therapist Podcast, Chris Hoff, LMFT

Hoff follows a "search for the real, not the truth" by discussing therapy as well as social justice, postmodernism, and topics relevant to the current cultural climate.  Chris, and his podcast, were originally featured on the Family Therapy Basics blog in this post. 

Moments of Meaning

"Moments of Meaning is a for-purpose movement devoted to demystifying psychotherapy" with stories of change and transformation about real clients told by real therapists.  I invite you to watch these stories, by visiting the Moments of Meaning Youtube channel, here.

Sending you hope and confidence today. Happy weekend! 🌟💛☀️
Happy Friday! Here’s a reflection for #refreshfriday:⠀ ⠀ What one interaction with a client lit you up this week (in a good way)? 🌟☺️⠀ ⠀ What one word conveys your most significant lesson from this week? 💗🌸⠀ ⠀ Comment below! 👇🏼💛👏🏼
This week on the blog and in the FB group the theme has been mentoring and the impact of submitting ourselves to others’ influence, but also, the importance of finding our own voice as it comes in contact with others’ views.⠀ ⠀ The reality is, we are all made and remade, into our best selves, in relationship.⠀ ⠀ Many people say we are the average of the 5 people with which we spend the most time. While I think certain aspects of this are true, I don’t believe we should eliminate people from our lives based on their level of accomplishment or what they can offer us. Rather, we can intentionally create new, positive connections, while maintaining significant relationships with a wide, beautiful, diverse group people. ❤️
When’s the last time you sang “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star?” If you’re a parent, or a play therapist, maybe not that long ago. ⠀ ⠀ I remember when I graduated with my Master’s degree, I felt a strong pull to get reconnected with my creative side. I had spent years immersed in academics, and I was ready to break free!⠀ ⠀ Right now, there is so much more creativity—drawing, painting, exercise, writing—in my life, but I still crave more. Maybe that’s the way it works—the more you let out your inner kid, the more it wants to be let out. 🌟☀️💫
