Hi,
I just want to speak about my appreciation for your critique of psychotherapy youtube vid. I've watched it before entering grad school, again in bits and pieces during internship, and some more when I became employed post graduation. I also happened upon it again today.
The reason I appreciate it is for how the message resonates with me. It touches on my views of diagnosis, relationships with clients and supervisors, and what is healing -- which has something to do with just being a good listener, understander, and artist.
It helped, and continues to help me because it resonates with hunches I had about the field. It helps because it validates things I know about the field now after working in it. It helps because there's still more for me to learn, but I'm not going in blind. That gives me a sense of comfort!
I go into the future as a therapist now with comfort and a desire to develop a view that's all my own! I can do that because your message contributed to my sense of empowerment as a professional. I feel empowered because I know I can have feel and think about the field what I will, without shame.
That's so valuable to me. So, I appreciate everything it took for you to be able to share your critique. It added value to my life!
I'm not sure if you're a God fearing man, but I am. And I'm grateful to God for the man he made in you!
The best,
Josh
