Traditional therapy is broken. Most practitioners are so boring and have no personality. They are so concerned with 'treating mental illness' that they forget how to 'have a conversation with a client'.
Imagine a world where therapy isn't just about diagnosing and treating mental illness but truly understanding each person's unique situation. In this episode of the 'Trauma Informed Podcast', host Jeff Friedman sits down with Derrick Hoard, LMFT, to discuss his innovative approach known as Situational Therapy. Derrick believes that traditional therapy often falls short, becoming too clinical and impersonal.
He argues that many therapists focus so much on treating mental illness that they forget the importance of simply having a conversation with their clients. Derrick's method, Situational Therapy, aims to change that by focusing on the client's specific circumstances and needs rather than just their diagnosis. This episode is a breath of fresh air for anyone feeling disconnected from conventional therapy methods.
Derrick also opens up about his personal journey with trauma and how it has shaped his therapeutic approach. The conversation takes a deep dive into how racism impacts mental health, the significance of setting boundaries in therapy, and even the surprising intersection of gaming and therapy. With the added layer of discussing the mental health effects of COVID-19, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on therapy that prioritizes real human connection and understanding, this episode is a must-listen.
