Why is it so hard to get good therapy?

Therapy is too hard to get. A lot of therapists don't accept your insurance. Or they aren't taking new patients. It's also difficult to know what type of therapist is right for you. For this to change, we have to rethink what it means to get mental health care.

I want us to build a community that will lift each other up and celebrate mental health together. Let’s get started. What topic do you want me to tackle next?

@KarlFFF 5 жыл бұрын

I love this new direction! I agree there does seem to be a bit of a void on youtube of good videos on the topic. There are so many great topics to chose from, but I'm confident anything you'll make will be great :) If I should toss something in as a starting topic, then maybe something general like "how to know if you need a therapist" and "how to know if your friend needs a therapist" could be good starting points. Coping techniques could also be very good.

I think something that's not being talked about often is: how do i help someone I'm close to with their mental health problems over distance? Often times people retreat and don't really want to talk and often it's not even clear at first that they aren't feeling well but I still want to be there for them but cannot do so physically. Can you give any tips on that?

I love your channel, thank you for your wonderful, wonderful influence in this world. I've only had horrible experiences with mental health care, medication, all that shabaz, and nobody really taught me how to cope with the many symptoms of schizophrenia. Since many of us don't really have the focus to read thru a bunch of dissertations (I am glad I have amazing focus considering my illness) or to read at all, i'd love for you to make a video about it (especially in the moments we need to know most) And especially not only hallucinations but also the very disabling negative affects. Thank you, again, I hope you have a beautiful day.

Finding a psychologist or therapist is hard, but in my experience, finding a psychiatrist is even harder. Physicians won't prescribe mental health meds, and psychologists and therapists cant. It took me 2 years to find a psychiatrist to prescribe my meds, and I was only able to do so when I switched to private health insurance.

Honestly, I think it's a bit ridiculous to expect someone who is dealing with a mental health issue to be able to explain what they're experiencing in just the right way, and have it be interpreted correctly by two different people. I understand it's an additional burden to learn about the medication side of things, but I mean, I have a nurse practitioner functioning as my psychiatrist right now. I just want a doctor that will be able to take the time to get to actually know me and be able to work with me on things in addition to medication.

Story time...lol. I did my undergrad and specialised in Psychology because I wanted to help people and make the world a better place. Then I volunteered as a social worker at the national hospital in my country and did I feel helpless. By the end of the three months I had learnt that it would take breaking myself into many other selves before I could get to everyone. I admired my supervisors who were so open and willing to teach me and patiently answered my questions which bordered on nagging. It's really amazing seeing it broken down like this. Channels like School of Life and Academy of Ideas have helped me navigate through life. Now yours is on that list. I've since moved on to other things but what I know is that I want to go into the advocacy side of things. So pushing for policies that make the work of social workers, psychologists and counsellors a little easier. Not yet sure how...but I'm figuring it out.

As a therapist in private practice I am so happy happy happy to hear you only have 67 clients a year. After leaving a substance abuse nonprofit where you churned out clients in the thousands I have made a deliberate effort to keep my case liad small to be a more effective therapist. I recently went to a conference where they were talking about using computerized avatars to do on line therapy which adapts its response as the client speaks. I think we all felt it to be a little too creepy, but as you pointed out there are not enough of us, and it is difficult to find a good seasoned therapist. Especially in rural areas. Alot of my colleagues in p.p are churning out clients in high numbers and you know they cant be effective. A big problem is poor insurance reimbursement or peoples unwillingness or inability to pay cash, in poor rural areas. Raise the reimbursement and maybe you would have more therapists.

You bring up a lot of great points here. I'm really interested to see more ways to augment traditional treatments with technology. One of my favorite examples is Computer-Based Training for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT4CBT): www.cbt4cbt.com/.

When you mentioned having only seen 67 patients this year I realized I hadn't ever really heard about that being an "issue" or part of what being a therapist is really like. Thanks for all your hard work!

@drali 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your feedback and encouragement, Ashley! I’ll definitely make more “behind the scenes of being a therapist videos”. I should say the number of patients you see a year varies from the type of clinician you are and where you work. For example, psychiatrists tend to see WAY more patients than social workers, counselors, and psychologists, but also see them for less time. BUT in general mental health clinicians see a lot less people than other healthcare professionals. Some people like this more refined focus on a smaller caseload but a caseload you know in more detail. I’ve always want to make big changes so for me this is a bit frustrating. Thanks again for watching!

Great video. I love the new mission and agree the system needs a major change. I think group therapy, apps and other tech advances can help scale psychotherapy to the masses and make it more accessible to rural areas. F2F video sessions aren't ideal but I think it's the only way to help people outside of cities. VR could play a big role. Imagine a VR group therapy session with members from across the country. This means we'll have to get more creative about state licensing and maybe offer a national licensing process. All good topics to discuss.

Thanks so much, Ken! I completely agree with you. Group therapy, and extending its reach through technology, is a win/win. It can be a better treatment than individual therapy, especially for social anxiety, is more affordable for patients, and is good revenue for therapists!

Hello, I decided to engage in this comment and give you my opinion about what I think it's one of the best things to address: the basics of mental health. I think it's important to address what are the most important things to always keep in mind. I think to have a very general-oriented personality, I feel that it's hard for me to get into details, I too much wander around getting interested to many stuff. I find it hard to achieve something concrete that it's built with time and effort, I simply lose interest too easily because I get lost in all the little things I could do better and can never see straight ahead the important stuff. It's a pretty heavy subject for me, I see it as a serious problem in my every-day life, but I think it'd be really important for others as well. Cheers and good luck with your project!

This was a great video - thanks for creating a channel with such fantastic content. Apps might be the answer for more effectively navigating the system, and they could free up resources for better care. Makes me think of ATMs facilitating a doubling of the number of bank tellers in the states over 40 years. If I borrow your ratio of mental health professionals to those with diagnosable conditions in the US, you'd need a 63% increase in professionals to meet the demand (if each is responsible for 67 or so patients, and optimistically assuming the second part stays relatively static). This is totally achievable!

Hey Doc. Despite my extremely inappropriate handle, I’m about to begin my second year of an MSW program and am applying to several Psy.D programs. Each of these processes and everything associated with them has felt somewhat overwhelming and has provoked a relatively large amount of anxiety. So if you could do a video on handling anxiety associated with complex responsibilities that would be incredible. -Steve

@HTOWNBEATDOWN420 5 жыл бұрын

The Psych Show Thank you! (Wow I need to make a new account, this is embarrassing) and in general I mean both. However, I’m confident in my capabilities and I have faith in the faculty that has and will continue to train me as I complete the second year of my Masters program both in the classroom and in my field placement. And hopefully that ability and passion translates from the success I’ve had at the masters level to an opportunity at the doctoral level (fingers crossed). But I digress. I suppose what I truly meant was anxiety associated with an uncertainty of outcome about something. I’ve worked so hard to succeed at the masters level and have done things to make myself the most appealing candidate possible for Psy.D programs, but of course I don’t know the outcome of any applications as I am just about to send my application package to the schools I have selected. I feel as though this is something many of your followers, and individuals in general, can relate to! The “I’ve worked so hard! I want it so badly! What if it doesn’t work out?” Feelings of anxiety associated with having a lot of responsibility in the present and a hopeful but potentially uncertain future. Seeing a video about soothing those emotions of anxiety associated uncertainty and self doubt would be extremely fun for me to see and hopefully others as well!

We don't have enough therapists, and even if you can get a hold of one, it's not always the right match personality wise, and human interaction is a big part of the procedure. Getting the right kind of help can be difficult sometimes, and that's when the self-help books and programs can be really crucial. Could you please tell us more about the different kinds of treatments you talked about (CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic and psychoanalytic), and how one might use these kind of treatments on oneself? Different exercises perhaps? Or different books you can recommend on the subjects? And naturally, which kind of disorders these treatments are relevant to? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi Ali, I'm so glad you are deciding to "reboot" your channel. I've definitely benefited from KZfaq and technology in helping my mental health. In particular, the Psychology in Seattle podcast hosted by Kirk Honda has been immensely helpful for me because he talks a lot about the mental health system, theories in the field, and psychopathology. Check them out! I believe simply being educated on all these issues can increase people's compassion of each other and increase self awareness. I would be stoked if more mental health professionals can make educational content on mental health.

Hi, I found your channel through the BuzzFeed video you did. I love the concept behind what you're doing, and how you're working diligently to meet a need on KZfaq, where millions of people watch videos or clips everyday. Mental Health is extremely important as the body, mind, and spirit are all connected; I've struggled with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression for the majority of my teenage and young adult years. In fact, many of the struggles I've experienced have inspired me to write stories that detail characters going through some of the experiences I've had, and has given me a passion to reach adolescent and young adult readers struggling with problems through my writing. I studied psychology in the first year of college but, after taking a two and a half year break, I switched to creative writing instead. Can you do a video about the impact of insomnia on sleep and how working a job and taking online classes contributes to insomnia? It would be nice to know how to best combat insomnia so me, and other people with similar experiences, can get better quality sleep. Thank you for your hard work!

Something that has always bothered me since I began therapy is the ability to tell the difference between normal stress, normal sadness, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder at a pretty young age and an anxiety disorder in my late teens. It feels like an important part of managing my symptoms is recognizing them but not giving them too much emphasis. I don't want to beat myself up for feelings I don't have control over but I also don't want to use them as excuses not to try my best and it can be hard to tell the difference. This is something I recognize in myself as well as others. A lot of times people describe their anxiety and it just sounds like normal stress (but I'm not their doctor, I have no idea). I hope that makes sense. What are your thoughts on this topic? I would love to see content discussing normal vs. abnormal reactions. Thank you!

I guess my personal issue is I'm 30 years old, I've never seen a professional therapist or psychologist, but I struggle with anxiety and depression every day. I've struggled with some very serious issues since I've been a child. I think my biggest problem is actually trying to decide if it's important for me to see a professional or not. I don't want medications, and I don't know if I want to talk about my stresses/triggers, plus it would be another stressful situation just to try and find a professional that I would actually want to sit down with. I struggle with questions like: "Will it be worth it?" "Will seeing a psychologist actually make my depression any better?" "How would it be helpful?" "Are they going to make me do a journal? I hate journals." Maybe you have some thoughts Doc? If not it's okay, I randomly found your channel and I plan to check out some of your other videos, you've got me intrigued.

As I am also a psychology student from BHU india... Aa What you said about that their is huge gap between the mental health provider and the and the mental health patient in U.S But it we see in indian 🇮🇳 context the gap is way much bigger we can calculate... And it takes lots time in when role of AI comes into the play in country like india.... So my questionis, in such situation what we should do now????

AMAZING! Thank you so much for nailing this subject on the head! Can we do something together? I've made a 15 experiential self help practice exercises for my upcoming book (Mastering Adulthood). But I'd love to contribute to your vision if I may be of service! Thanks again for being such a trailblazer here!

Maybe we could chat about the common patterns that emerge under stress or emotionally triggered, which lead to the downward spiral into diagnosis territory? Then offer some preventative skills? I'm sure I could think of lots of ways we could bring our areas together to be more than the sum of our parts. Shall I back channel you? Thanks!

Sure, feel free to email me. The biggest limitation for me is time. I have a number of projects I'm working on so I can't guarantee anything but I'm always open to the discussion.

Wondering if you can do some topics on suicide and ways to cope with suicidal thought? Like how a therapist approaches the patient once they disclose suicidal thoughts. Maybe get into safety planning or other treatments like how to manage chronic suicidality like using CAMS by Dr. David Jobes?

You mention 'how to find a therapist' as a possible topic. How about how about an overview of different techniques/schools of thought, with a view to helping people pick what's appropriate for their needs?

Great feedback! I think that could be integrated into a video on how to find a therapist. It's a big part of the puzzle that can be very confusing.

@@eddiew2325 Maybe Medicaid and Medicare don't want to pay for a "real therapist". Sadly that is what low income and vulnerable populations suffer with day in and day out. These people suffer traumas more frequently than others and need/deserve better care, but Uncle Sam doesn't care.

In my opinion the therapist that know NLP are the most effective. Unfortunately, most therapists do not know NLP.

NLP is pseudoscience.

@ARasputinaFan 4 жыл бұрын

NLP is not considered an "evidence based practice", meaning it has not been proven to work. Most therapists/counselors/psychologists will not use non-evidence based practices for fear of inadvertently harming the consumer or wasting the consumer's time/money.

I love your videos! I am a child psychologist and wish there was more content out there, reliable content, especially for parents. I am inspired by this video so much that I would like to start producing some content of my own. I would really love it if you could share suggestions on the entire process. My journey into social media has just started, so I only have a twitter account so far. My handle is @theshr1nk if you want to connect.
