The fact that he nodded his head while the patient was talking 😂 ...he’s out of work, but the psychologist is still in him

I am a psychologist and I had this very idea on this exact day, that's why I searched for it on youtube! Talk about coincidences! I think you did a great job ;)

I loved this and thought it to be very fascinating! A little background on the House episode from a House fanatic: the episode is from season 6, Broken, when House was given the option to have his medical license suspended or to seek help for his drug addiction. He chose to check himself into a psychiatric facility, run by Dr. Nolan. Dr. Nolan met with House originally, House went through withdrawal from his drug addiction, and then Dr. Nolan directed him towards group therapy sessions for a few weeks, run by Dr. Medina. House was recommended to start medication (I don’t remember which), which he pretended to take to feign cooperation so as to get his medical license back, using another patient’s urine to pass drug testing. He was caught being deceitful because Dr Nolan switched House’s medications to placebos after he began to suspect that House had not started medication/when Dr. Nolan began receiving urine that showed House was on medication, when Dr Nolan was prescribing placebos. House helped another patient escape the facility, a patient who had delusions, and thought that he could be a superhero (was always trying to help others, etc). House took the guy to an amusement park setting, and the man was able to go on one of those air propelling sky diving rides. Unfortunately, after having a great day on rides, the man jumped out of a high level of a parking garage and was seriously injured. After this episode, Dr. Nolan stated that he would be transferring House to another facility, at which point we had the scene seen above, where House finally agrees to start medication If you like house, it is a good and interesting episode. It’s an interesting look into the complicities of treatment and patient lives. It was their 2 hour special from season 6.

Great idea, super interesting, professional and entertaing at the same time, I would like to see more videos like this in the future

I would love for you to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 5 Episode 16 "The Body" Her mother dies unexpectedly and everyone is reacting and coping differently with their grief. It's the most realistic portrayal of dealing with death I've ever seen, and it's critically acclaimed as "the best hour of television of all time." So I think it would be pretty wonderful for a psychologist to review it.

This was one of the most interesting videos I've ever seen on the internet. Thank you so much for this original mix of education and entertainment.

Aaaargh, "how does that make you feel?" 😂

The Sopranos was one of the later seasons , you really should see how the relationship develops from the beginning to understand the dynamic. The clip reminds me just how great James Gandolfini was as Tony.

I love videos like this! Been following you for years, was fun to see you do this :)

Loved this! Your hair game is on point too.

Please do more of these! This was really interesting and well done.

Love this. I’m thinking of choosing psychology as a major and this helps me a lot in finding out what really interests me

This was very interesting! thank you.

Thanks for this. Would definitely watch more. Just started a counseling program and this was great review of some skills before i have my first videotaped session with a client actor next week!

You should totally do In Treatment! I'm a therapist and I swear the way the therapist in the show does therapy has seeped into my sessions recently. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this. LOL. He is to my mind, very confrontational. I have been watching the show back to back. I'm not convinced that many clients could handle the way he works until they'd been in therapy for quite awhile. And some couldn't handle it at all.

Duff The Psych, great stuff. Fantastic job at tackling the issue of therapy in movies and TV in an interesting way. Will definitely tune in for future videos!

I'm really glad I found your channel (through asmr searches). I usually avoid therapy channels since I go to therapy and I don't want to think about therapy when I'm at therapy but I sat through this and had to subscribe to your channel, your content is inspiring and heart-warming ❤

Im just watching the video. Its very very interesting. Your way of telling your opinion and your reactions are sooo good! Ive learnt a lot!

It’s hard in this Sopranos scene because she is a bit more closed off here due to personal issues with her and he sort of lost it tossing her table the previous time he was there. So i think she’s overly cautious. I think you should watch his first encounter with her

Btw House was in a ward so that might explain the drugs given so quickly

I love this! I hope this becomes a series! 😎

THese therapy reaction scenes made my day lol! A great way to start off my summer break after college finals!!

🙌🏼 loving it. Can't wait for you to do Good Will Hunting!

Great video and analysis. Also nice to see the always excellent James Gandolfini again. It's been a while since I watched The Sopranos. Rest In Peace, James. You are missed.

Such a unique and interesting idea! Almost like a play along at home as a counselling student :'D

React to Hannibal, not the movies but the serie with Mads Mikkelsen

You should do Monk! He was always an interesting character! I always wanted to invite him over so he’d clean my house for me!

The problem I've had with SSRI's where that I felt prisoner in my own body. I was hurt but I felt prohibited to express what I felt inside. The pain and depression felt the same, but it was worse because I couldn't channel my emotions right. It felt like a mist covering up the burning inside. Instead of covering the pain, it covered my ability to express it. A miserable feeling. I couldn't cry, couldn't shout or make a mental fist when angry. But I had the need to.

Quite fun and informative, thanks!

Can you do one about how mental illnesses are depicted in movies and tv shows?

Really struggling with mental health popping all over KZfaq. Really enjoying your take on how therapy is on the tv!

I watched this because i have to go to a psychologist next week for an appoitnment and this makes me feel better because you seem kind.

Interesting video. I'd like to see more like this!

Well that was super interesting. I love it)))

Thanks for the video, really interesting

I love these videos! The content of this is great. I appreciate your expert opinion. From a youtube video standpoint, I'd say try to eliminate the black bars on the screen, add something interesting to the background (like books or paintings - just like therapy!). Also it might look better if you're looking towards the video instead of away from it, just an immersion thing. Looking forward to more of this.

Great video. I enjoy your approach. I’m just starting to entertain therapy.

First thing I thought was you better do the House episode and you did so thank you

React to Monk! It’s absolutely one of my favorite shows with a mentally struggling yet highly successful protagonist and although I know it’s not accurate I would love to see a professional react to it!

For the Soprano's scene he's being really nice to not just say "Terrible acting." lol

The sessions from House were always my favourite. I myself have never been to one, but i've always hoped they are really like that. That therapists like that guy do exist.

Really nice video. React to In Treatment please!

I really like this!!!!!

This was awesome to watch. Hope to see more. One note, I've never had a therapy with that open scenario. I've been in therapy since I was a child and it's always been at a desk, therapist on one side, me on the other. I don't know if that might just be how my country does things. To be honest I'd probably feel way too exposed in that open chair scenario.

As a psychology student studying at uni in Australia. Really enjoyed this and it super insightful as well. Glad I found a video of an expert reacting but in the realm of psychology

i forgot about house and now i wanna binge it again

Hi, I am a therapist and counseling lecturer in the UK, thanks for the analysis, really well done! I enjoyed watching it!

Will you react to the Netflix show Atypical, there are several therapist sessions with the main character in the first season the most. Is it normal for therapist to give there patients things to do? Or tell them what to do or when they’re wrong?

I'd love to see your reaction to two separate instances on Mad Men: Season 1 with Betty Draper, then season 4 with her daughter Sally. Both are fascinating cases & the way it worked in the 60's vs now, what's changed & what hasn't. It's an amazing show and I highly recommend it & would love to see your analysis.

Please do more of House!! Such good examples of narcissistic and antissocial behavior!! Really enjoyed the video!

The problem with analyzing Dr Melfi’s technique in this episode of the Sopranos is that prior to this scene her colleagues were hounding her at a dinner party about the latest research that you cannot help criminals/psychopaths (supposedly) and she went deep in her own research and that’s what’s affecting her reaction to him here as she is about to refer him on as a patient. This is their last session together and both know it internally and then it manifests in the session. The episode you really have to see is Employee of the Month. I think from season 3 or 4. That raises so many interesting ethical qualms.

I loooove What About Bob. It's super funny. Bill Murray is a STAR. I also loved this! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I'm thinking of becoming a psychologists and I love the way you explain things! (I was sucked in right away so thank you for this entertaining and educational video!) This is extremely late but I am definitely going to check out more of your videos and subscribe

This is brilliant

Great video!

Very interesting and entertaining 😁

The movie To the Bone I LOVED his role was the only two types of pcys I actually loved. They didn't "attack" me they told me what I already knew but was afraid to adit. Ive also been told at one point in the hospital that BPDs can be almost almost impossible to treat, but they would find a way to try. meaning that even though I could have felt like I would never get better there was at least one person willing to "try" meaning they weren't trying to force to fix me they were just there. so this movie was awesome for me. (granted I never had an eating disorder)

I'm currently a Psych major in Germany with focus on clinical psychology, and the number one thing that I hate the most about this degree is the sheer amount of quantitive methods and statistics I have to go through

I would love to see you do some react videos to personalities in shows like Kitchen Nightmares or Hotel Impossible. Lots of abnormal psychology and strange behaviors under stress.

I'm an undergraduate psychology major and I find this video very interesting and yet amusing, nice job! I can relate to Bob, agoraphobia's a bitch. It's living hell. Fortunately, now I'm on medication and seeing a therapist and doing much much better.

The Sopranos scene sounds strange because they changed the voices. Also, there's some context missing because she's been seeing him for a while and knows he could kill her at any time.

Yes Monk was great! My husband and I enjoyed watching that together.

Those cabinet door handles are driving me crazy. I feel like it’s done intentionally because it simply cannot be ignored in such a bland and depressing room and that it has to be some sort of intentional distraction.

Agoraphobia thing is something i was never diagnosed with whoever it describes what i used to fear. Mostly because of my anxiety can get bad and i get scared ill be in the open. I seemed to have grown out of it though

I loved this video

I liked when you talked about the very last video how her face didn't match her tone of voice. I've had a many of therapist and the main problem I always had was this one face they ALL made. I'm not sure how to explain it too much but it made me feel as if I were a lunatic and my problem didn't matter. I often avoided these sessions with them because I felt as they never cared and it's interesting to see a therapist talk about this, I like seeing this point of view because I was always the patient. I don't know if they were trying to seem not to care or if they really didn't but it drove me to the point of discontinuing the sessions because I felt as though I wasn't being heard and if I was I was either being ignored or they stored it away to use it against me. I see now that this seems almost childish as this makes a point of saying that everyone is after me and only wants to talk to me for information on how to both control me as well as use me for personal gains. Sorry I've rambled on, love the video and I will say this once more that I like this perspective on how you see the patient and the therapist.

Thanks,Duff!

Please react to Ian gallaghers bipolar depression on the show Shameless

I know this video is older, but just wanted to say they definitely can give meds like that. I see a psychologist at a free care facility and they get tons of sample packs of different scripts every week. I've been handed prescription meds that way since my first visit there and every time since lol. They just come in multiple blister pack samples instead of a bottle.

Waaaait..! I suddenly understand why my psychologist told me I might have agoraphobia. I thought it meant that being anxious about being around other people, I wasn't anxious about that at all! It was just the issue about a toilet so I just waved it off immediately ... I never understood that agoraphobia could be just that! Wow, mind-blown! Still having similar issues unfortunately but at least now I will be more open minded about agoraphobia. Thanks a lot!

One of my favorite scenes in The Sopranos is when Carmela sees a therapist. I forget which season it is, but it was while she was contemplating divorce. She had spent her whole life connected to the mob, and had probably never spoken about it to anyone from the outside. I thought the therapist was blunt, and did a great job but I'm no professional.

All therapist/psychologists I see and hear have this homey type feeling the major you choose and/or job choose is very much needed in this world I'm actually studying psychology as we speak 👍.

I request you react to some of the citizens of the Shivering Isles from the game Oblivion, some of them just seem ... off, maybe you could explain what they have and how you would go about helping them? some examples being Big Head and his quest "The Fork of Horripilation" or even Amiable Fanriene, and his quest "Falling Awake". Or heck maybe even Sheogorath himself.

i really liked this video, downside is i completely checked out when i noticed the offset handles in the background.

Oh the Sopranos is one of my very favourite shows. I would have suggested the pilot would have been a good place to start, but as you can imagine the therapy scenes unfold slowly over the different episodes. By this point in the series their relationship is fraught, to say the least.

Why did that last scene make me think of Umbridge’s detention? And btw Good Will Hunting has some good scenes

Yes ! You’re like the psych dr mike👌🏽

I'm a psychology undergrad and I'm going to hopefully start my masters next year in it and this video was amazing to me. Loved it!!!

I know this was a while ago, but it got me thinking. I have diagnosed Social Anxiety Disorder, but I don't know if that can encompass agoraphobia or what. I don't think too much on it. One of many experiences was trying to support my mom going to the gym and getting more and more anxious as people entered the class, then needing to leave and having a panic attack when the instructor closed and locked the door to the room so my inner self just said "trapped." They ended up letting me out and I cried and shook in the locker room for an hour. People are difficult for me...

He says delicious to the meds, this could hint at them being sugar pills, and were simply used as a metaphor by the psychiatrist to get on House's level.

for House's scene , I didn't understand Van Gogh's reference , I tried to search for it but didn't get

There is another tv show that you should check out, The Middle. Season 5, episode 10, Sleepless in Orson. The youngest of the three kids has to go to see a school therapist for a bunch of different reason that kind of change each season

cooool series!

Can you do a reaction regarding the Expect opinion to Dr. Shannon Curry vs. Dr. Dawn Hugh's during the Depp Vs Heard Trial?

PLEASE react to the final therapy scene in the episode "Pickle Rick" from the tv show "Rick and Morty". It's a scifi cartoon and it's completely absurd, but at the same time it's one of my favorite therapy scenes. You'll probably want/need to watch the whole episode, though.

*AS FOR HOUSE HE WAS IN AN INSANE ASLYUM THERE.. AND PRIOR TO HIM SITTING THERE WITH THE OTHER DOCTOR...HOUSE HAD PREVIOUSLY TRIED TO GET THE PSYCHIATRIST TO JUST SIGN PAPERWORK SAYING THAT HE WAS ALL OKAY TO GO BACK TO WORK. THE PSYCHIATRIST SAID NAH, TO GET MY SIGNATURE YOU NEED TO COME AND TALK TO ME. HOUSE HAD BEEN IN THAT MENTAL HOSPITAL FOR A WHILE SO THE PSYCHIATRIST HANDING HIM THE MEDS MIGHTVE BEEN FINE SINCE HE DIDN'T JUST MEET HIM OFF THE STREETS. HE ALSO KNEW THAT HOUSE WOULDN'T BE TAKING DRUGS FROM NURSES SO HANDING IT TO HIM WAS A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET HIM TO TRY TO TAKE THEM. BTW, THE PILLS ACTUALLY WORKED. (FOR A LIL)*

I’d be a great therapist on the silence front- I’m not great at coming up with ideas on what to talk about and I feel uncomfortable shoving ideas on people but I’m great once there’s a set topic or idea

I really like this video. Could you review the mental breakdown of Daenerys Targaryen in the final season of Game of Thrones? Is it realistic or did it escalate too quickly?

Would you be able to react to the airline panic attack youtube clip? With the indian man. I'm still not sure if what he's experiencing is a panic attack.

i want to see this with Joker or Good Will Hunting!

I would love to see you do the first therapy scene in the Sopranos --she seems disingenuous and off here because she’s been contemplating ending the therapy, her therapist she believes he’s a sociopath and her type of therapy doesn’t work. They’ve had a lot of back-and-forth so this is the ending of the show And it was a completely different dynamic in the first season or two but I agree because she was just basically fed up with him is definitely how she comes off as well.

That's really interesting about the table creating a power dynamic, i guess to undo that if you needed a table you'd rotate it sideways and tell the other person they could choose which side of it to sit on. Table is good if you are going to do anything with written exercises, but also i like it in that you can sit closer to each other without it feeling uncomfotable I love how you showed more empathy for Tony Soprano than his therapist did, and in her world he is a real person suffering and in our world he is just a character. The therapist in that show is very very bad, and to be honest i don't think it's that unrealistic. It's good that there are lots of examples in fiction that you shouldn't necessarily trust your therapist just because they are qualified, if you get a dud, like her, you should swap

The doctor gave me an I.Q. test. I was relieved that the results were negative.

I want you to react to the therapy session in Unbelievable

The freaky friday scene missed the part with the guy with glasses, Evan.

Great video, but I really can’t get over the fact that you’ve NEVER SEEN WHAT ABOUT BOB. A national treasure.

Good one! Please do Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 6 episode 11 "The Therapist" where the main character really hates therapy and doesn't believe in it!

House was in psychiatric lock up he wasn't a volunteer for therapy. This was before he drove through cuddys living room

There's a video about what it's like to be paranoid schizaphrenic (sp?) including auditory hallucinations, I would like to see what you think about that video.

Bipolar woman here. I hated when my therapist hid behind her clipboard. It made me wonder if she was secretly writing mean notes.
