Very informative, inspiring and educational. It is very helpful in my own self confidence

It sounds really interesting! I saw the advertising for a talk you’re giving via the the New School of Therapy. I’m going to look into your book. I’m a therapist, a social worker who also has degrees in political science. Good luck with your work!

Always great to see these scenarios! Thank you for producing/posting - much appreciated!

A very helpful video 👍😊

Under what circumstances would you highlight the clients beliefs or constructs in person centered therapy? She seems to have a rule that she has created that once you accept to do a task or plan to show up to an event, that you cannot back out of it. A rule where emergencies or even unexpected events become distressing or causing a sense of unease.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:45 *🎭 Situation difficile avec le partenaire* - Le partenaire de la patiente a annulé leur participation à un mariage au dernier moment. - La patiente se sent seule et déçue de ne pas avoir pu partager cet événement avec lui. - Son partenaire a un historique de comportement flaky, ce qui aggrave ses sentiments d'insécurité. 05:03 *🤝 Communication dans la relation* - Le thérapeute encourage la patiente à exprimer ses sentiments et à communiquer ouvertement avec son partenaire. - Il souligne l'importance de s'affirmer dans la relation et de fixer des limites claires. - La patiente hésite à aborder le problème avec son partenaire de peur de le perdre, illustrant un dilemme commun dans les relations. 08:59 *💔 Déception et préoccupation* - La patiente exprime sa déception face à l'annulation de son partenaire et son inquiétude quant à l'avenir de leur relation. - Malgré les excuses de son partenaire, elle se sent toujours blessée et remet en question la fiabilité de leur lien. - Le thérapeute partage une expérience personnelle similaire pour renforcer l'empathie et la compréhension de la patiente.

If anyone feels they’ve screwed up as a counsellor - I once had a first therapy session where the counsellor screamed at me to stop counselling myself, told me she got into it because she’s a narcissist, and that I was ‘too broken to be fixed’ 😂.

I think from a person-centred standpoint you’re fine for most leading so long as it’s from a genuine authentic place of what you’re feeling and seeking clarification on, so long as it’s fully client focussed.

She looks so somber... <3 great video

I think Julia loves her mother, but her mother is trying to impose on her what she thinks is best for Julia and Julia resents that she is not being free to pursue her goals.

Aren't you asking lot of questions?

It sounds to me like there is a trust issue between her and her bf.

It's so helpful and reassuring to see how even experienced therapists make many percieved misteps and come away questioning themselves a bit. For me, it only cements how much the therapist really cares. To care enough to pick up on those mis-steps is itself a function of empathy. It's not all about perfect responses. It's about recognising how we might fail to meet the client.

That was awesome Mick, thank you.

Surely many clients, especially younger ones, wouldn't understand the Person-centred approach and wouldn't be aware of how change happens in therapy. Therefore when they are asked about what they found helpful, would be more likely to mention more obvious factors that had been explicitly talked about rather than things they are less aware of? For me what happens in counselling evolves naturally and is different each time. Clients tend to find a way to do what is most useful for them in sessions and I'm not sure if it's possible beforehand to identify what that will be.

The beginning was pretty horrible for a person-centered therapy, Rogers focusing more on the present rather than delving so deeply into what you felt yesterday, or what you were thinking yesterday. In addition to telling him that he is kind for being aware of those uncomfortable feelings. Rogers himself in his book states that the focus of evaluation should be internal and that one as a therapist should refrain from making moral evaluations, whether positive or negative, because they are threatening.

bad

"And how was that for you?", "How does that feel for you?", "And what I need emotions do you have around that?", "And what feel are you feely feely on your feels about how you feel?" Therapy basically.

I think I’d have focussed more initially on outcome vs process, and asked what the exams meant for her. I think that would’ve helped hone in earlier to get alongside her, but I also know how difficult this opening can be. It did feel like you were trying to find ways to help, to advise, because you weren’t sure where to take the session. I think silence might’ve allowed for it to go deeper. A pro’s vs con’s list to decide on benefits of confronting friends straight away would’ve also been appropriate, as I felt your instruction to be more proactive was inserting yourself too much in wanting to drive change. It didn’t feel like it came from the client (but again we missed chunks of the session). It’s always interesting to reflect on how others navigated an interaction and what we learn, both about ourselves and our approaches, that we can take going forward. Thanks for sharing!

Ive read Carl Rogers: Client Centered Therapy. The reason I did was because therapy never worked for me. I needed to understand what the logic of therapy was and realised that some ppl do respond to talking about their emotions, it can bring about some change, some relief. I always wanted solutions. I used to go to therapy thinking therapists would have the answers but they never did. Like this video, it was based on merely talking, talking emotionally. I am still a bit sceptical of the whole idea of this approach but if it works for some then ok.

LMAO!!!!

Very good counsellor. No judgement and he didn't tell her want to do but really listened.

thanks for this video

I am actually afraid of my OJT since we are doing counseling sessions. I am not confident with my counseling skills since that we don't really dive deeper or trained much about counseling and how I need to improve of asking questions since I am the type that there are times of maybe I don't understand them at all and often jump to conclusion. But this one definitely learned me to train and will use this as reference on how to improve my sessions with clients and it was okay to make mistakes.

If a client says they want to go into traumatic experiences from early life to understand and accept them better, do you have any suggestions of what to do to ensure they are prepared for this kind of work?

This was amazing and hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the level of practicalness and authenticity of this video. It was very helpful, thank you.

The re-assurances section made me want to throw up, lol This is something I hate hearing from people lol

Person centred is so easy to learn, but practice is so hard to do

Thanks Mick. Thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. Great introduction to the I-thou concept.

mate this is so bloody invaluable, thank you so much! I have my second roleplay on my CSK-L2 course tomorrow and this is great for learning <3 Also love the beard

😁😁 so funny he is hilarious and she is a really good actress

Why did she have a fake test if she didnt feel ill 🤔🤔🤔

Thankyou very much for posting this. As a trainee councellor its been really useful to hear your reflections on what you felt went well and also the honesty to highlight where your felt things could have been done differently. Its interesting for me to hear the clients responses when you say you were leading and her reflection towards the end seemed to suggest she deepened her own understanding of what was happening both existentially and internally. 👍💙

This is super hilarious and spontaneously extremely informative. I was laughing so hard but will also keep this list as a reminder as a novel therapist. Thank you so much!

Resentment

oh my goodness! A qualified counsellor here, this was helpful to bring awareness to some mistakes I may be making, talking too much i think is one of them! But this was SO cringey to watch 😩 But also has helped my confidence knowing that I do a lot right! :)

My feeling is that Mick is urge to lead Martha to the place where she should feel more strong in her mixed feeling. Mick is already let himself playing the role of Carlo or good friend, want to help her out at that place. He is worry about her. Self-reflection here might do a better thing here, first to build a climate, where client starts re-feeling her disappointing feeling again, she should not walk away with her "independency" from the negative feeling. Let her go down with her feeling towards her boyfriend again, to expose her real expectation and why feel unsafe about this relationship, that might connect to her experience in the past more.

psychology student here, thank you! i don’t get a lot of practice or demonstration in my classes yet so these videos really help!

....and very kinaesthetic!

Mick's language is peppered with visuals (a melody of words with pictures) that makes words more digestible for me. I am a visual/kinaesthetic processor who is going through the system for a 2nd time as a trainee. I was hoping things had changed - have they? Counselling is all about differences and yet, struggles with people like me - still. Thank you Mike Cooper for giving me hope.

😂 cringy 😂

Hey Mick, I wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for sharing your thoughts. I really enjoyed listening to you talk about the things you would have said differently. It was encouraging and reassuring to know that even with your experience and knowledge, you still acknowledge that things can be imperfect. Keep up the great work!

appreciate the video Mick! got me thinking, learning, and laughing at the same time haha. Do more of these ok 😊

As a trainee counsellor, your videos really help. Please keep making more of these videos to help other trainee counsellors, we really appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Beautiful video! 😄❤🎉

😁👏👏👏👏

is "collude" not similar to validating the client's feelings? im having difficulty separating the two

I am a Year One Bsc Counselling & Psychotherapy student - I found this video very helpful in breaking down and clearly looking at integrative - the book recommended is a great suggestion, thank you 🙏🏻
