Fables 456 I agree. One time is when she said that Stephanie was a great name for her cat. You’ve got to be joking woman. It’s one of the worst names I’ve ever heard for a cat

Grant Knott she didn't say Stephanie, I believe she said Persephone, which is a pretty unusual name for a cat!

1. I have suffered an immense amount of secondary trauma from counselors. It is insane the amount of times I have had to rely on myself to help myself when professionals did immense damage to me. 2. I see none of that here. I'm thinking maybe you've been hurt a lot and could see it that way. If so, I'm so sorry about how people have treated you. I hope you find what you're looking for. 3. I watched the whole thing and realized the questions were part of an "interview" intake and the client knew this. The therapist nudged her, sometimes people who don't want to talk about it need some gentle nudging. But once client said no again, therapist backed off and asked her about her cat to calm her down and help her to take a break so she could finish the interview to help her. Cannot help her without asking questions. But she reassessed and tried not to push too deeply after she found out what was going on for the client. 4. at 20:34 there is a scenario debrief where she explains her choices. "it is important before asking questions about trauma to explain to client why you're doing that.. you also want to give client real control over what she shares... there is a lot I do to help that happen. I tell her she can refuse to answer or take a break. When I do that some clinicians say 'oh no you'll never get through the intake in time' but the thing is when you're doing this its more important to create a safe relationship than to meet deadlines..." go and listen to the rest.

I thought that about that particular section myself. But, there were very helpful elements in this video. See the good as well.

I didn’t say there was no good?…more assumptions 👏🏻
