Thank you so much for that very clear, complete and loving dialog. I’m working with teenagers with midfulness, self-compassion and practices to ground and feel home in their bodies and I’m very inspired by your sharings that encourage me to go further in that so important field ! A big thank you from France !
Thank you so much. I am not working as a therapist right now but I have a teen that is kind of struggeling.
But I continuous not to understand why the first commitment of a therapist is not to understand instead to sezionate che patient in synthoms , syndromes , not to understand what is the difference between their experiences like your minds creates them and the one’s of your patients, how I feel? How they feel? What I think ? What they think? In details. Is my experience of , says , eat with my family different from theirs and in what and why? Because the minds creat the experience and what is in the mind is what make the reality of a life different from another one. We continuous not to have a complete and true perception of the mental states, which are done also by emotions but not only .
Most of the therapists I’ve worked with do try to understand us as people first. The syndromes and diagnoses is to help figure out different plans that may help. These diagnoses do not define the person and they might even change over the years. I think to be an effective therapist they must understand their own struggles and self-compassion practices so that when they are in front of their client they can be fully present for them. That’s what I understood from this lesson. Also, I hear some of your questions that might be answered in the talk by Dr. Day-Vines. 🙂 Sending you lots of love!
Thank you it was so beautiful to see and listened to both of them, beautifully seeing both experts complementing and learning from each other, while sharing it with all of us. Thank you very much.
This was really helpful as I have not been working with chldren lately due to health issues and time, but next week I did have an opening for this age and was looking forward to helping this energy to create that sense of safety and ways to honor their growth in planning and how to pay it forward to help their fellow hood.
Love the “Let’s get Fierce,” for good. We sooo need them to help our society projection into healthy growth of our humanity. Love your words to help this growth in caring for these wonderful teen gems that enter our office.
This was so interesting, working with teens has been my weakness although I have trained more than 1000 children in Mindfulness practices… Your talk gave me confidence! Thank you both!
Such engaging dialogue. Great session
Thank you for your timeous discussion. So necessary today.
Excellent session ladies… Thank you both!
Many teen come from homes where they never learned the lauguage of feeling safe with emotional expression and as a result they “act out” their negative emotions. This work may support feeling safe with embodied emotions and learning the language to talk about feelings.
