The trick is to put the phone/camera on a stand and then manipulate the mirror so you can see the camera in the mirror. Then adjust the phone on the stand to get a better background. Then tweak the mirror and tweak the stand and repeat until you need a therapist.
This is actually super accurate. Many therapists have therapists. People have to talk about there feelings…even therapists, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc.
On point. Honestly, Psychiatry team members are the most likely in the medical field to utilize mental health services. I'm grateful that the new grads in all aspects are safer to reach out for help and support. Historically, Providers have been shunned for seeking mental healthcare as well as having to have their mental competency evaluated by Medical Board. That behavior discouraged Providers from seeking help, causes burn out, and has direct correlation with the outrageously high number of physician suicides. Reach out. There's help. Please don't be a statistic. You literally save lives. Yours is worth fighting just as hard for. New Grads can and will change this.
This implies the existence of a therapist circle. At some point a therapist is counseling another therapist's therapist while getting therapy from the therapist.
I'm not a therapist but I'm the appointed therapist in every grp of friends I have and even strangers sometimes with a lot of progress I find that just talking about your problems is soothing but addictive and more self destructive than most things you can do, if you need advice sure go for it but if it's for decompression you're just sniffing a very hard to obtain cocaine to deal with your life Emotional support wont always be there, specislly of youre a man, then it's even worse cause even your emotional support will get tired of you So the thing you got addicted to will not only have a smaller impact but you'll get less of it as well, terrible stuff Anyway to put things into context, random folk usually can get a lot from talking about their problems because someone can shed a light or show them what's stopping them from seeing their problems... but if you already have answers it's devastating, and that goes for the "therapist" as well I'd day 60% of those who come to me are appointed grp therapists too and I can see the pressure, but complaining just makes them meltdown cause they have the answers they just want help carrying it but there's no help ever, if you do feel like there's help your problem is probably BS to begin with
I can just imagine you quickly shifting your facial expression from Psych-externa to Psych-interna, and that makes me laugh even more. Hope you didn’t get an eyebrow cramp!
My psychiatry co-residents and I were chatting about how kind your interpretation and genuinely funny your “Psychiatry” character is. Thank you for making us laugh and taking the edge off of medicine.
My father lied to me. I blame him. My kids are never getting within 100,000 kilometres of medicine. Doctors are over worked and for literally carrying out life saving work are severely underpaid
The repressed memories of psychiatrists alone can make an entire series! I died thinking of the krebs cycle, the coagulation cascade and that time the surgeon watched us suture in med school! They’re probably hanging out with all the other things we repress: most of the surgical clerkship, that one baby we “helped” deliver, having to consult neurology in person, pretending to remember anything from the first two years of med school, there’s too many to count
In nursing school, the only thing I learned and remember about Obstetrics was how to make a "baby" out of pantyhose, and how to "deliver" that baby through a hole cut into a shoebox!!! 🤣 I've always told folks that if I'm present when someone goes into unexpected labor, that we'd better call 911, because this Cardiology nurse would be totally useless!!! 😧🤣
This is actually really scary to consider, as a person's mental health is affected by mostly biological factors that result from social and conscious thinking factors. I hear about a lot of ppl who struggle to get their psychiatrist to take their physical side effects seriously, and it's sad and frustrating. Of course I'm not directing this at you personally, just sharing what I've seen.
@@WigglyTuffStuff The joke is that psychiatrists don't focus on other areas of medicine, which is true for a lot of fields (e.g. try getting an orthopedic surgeon to interpret an EKG). But we learn a lot about the biological side of our own field. I'd say if anything we lean towards prioritizing that at the expense of important psychosocial factors. I'm 2 weeks into my own psychiatry training and today alone treated a serious adverse reaction from a psych med and listened to a lecture about different side effects of different classes of antipsychotics.
Yesterday, I did see a couple of radiologists without ANY sunglasses on while outside their read rooms! They were still in their natural habitat though - the basement.
As a Physician (no Psych) who has been battling with depression, ans just to say THANK YOU. Sometimes is easy to forget that we need to take care of ourselves.
Something I learned in therapy was the 42% rule! It states that you should spend 42% of your time per day, or at the very least 42% averaged across the week of your time, resting in some form. This can include sleep, recreational activities, and spending time with loved ones. Any less, and you'll burn out. I don't remember hearing about an upper limit of rest in therapy, but I'm sure one exists.
By rights should be 66%. 8 hours work, 8 hours whatever you want and 8 hours of sleep. Unions fought hard for an 8 hour workday and I value their outcome. Sadly working 14 hour shifts atm and hating life.
@@classicambo9781 At most, of course. Plenty of people who can do more, shouldn't... but plenty of people can't even do 8. in which case they should find their own personal burnout ratio.
"Take care of yourself so you can take care of everyone else" That’s a great message, not just to therapists, but also everyone else out there that tends to neglect their own mental/physical health for other people (I’m looking at you, mom friends, backbones and friend group therapists, parents and grandparents that never know when to stop and other fellow people who don’t know how to say "no")

I was waiting for this one. Unfortunately, my experience as an Intern in psychiatry involved telling my attending about my own current struggle with depression, and being met with very little understanding. There, out of all places, I expected something else. I ended up going into family medicine instead, which I do not regret.
Yea I have similar experience. Even with someone who was very understanding with patients. Learned that for mental health stuff it's still better to go somewhere else, even if for everything else I wouldn't blink twice to get help where I work.
Not surprising; there has always been an unhealthy dichotomy in medicine: doctors are an exalted species of human, not themselves supposed need doctors, *especially* not head-doctors! In vet med now, there's a problem with suicides, because of professionals mistakenly believing it's shameful to ask for the sort of life-giving help Doc Glauc is advocating👍. OK, rationally: what's worse, feeling intellectially inferior, incompetent, and ashamed, or being dead? Well, suicide is not borne of rational thought. I hear dentistry is also a field rife with suicides; but, familiar with the odor of feline oral SCC - maybe that's understandable🤢😉😕?

Salute to you Dr.florida Man, PHD
I’m constantly shocked how few Doctors have the wisdom to value their own mental health. Forget anything preventative, many wait until there’s an acute issue, waiting until they feel utterly desperate before giving themselves permission to seek help. I hope they aren’t like this with other medical conditions. My suggestion would be to skip the psychiatrist and see a psychologist or psychotherapist instead. I am also surprised that given the degree of vicarious trauma any Dr is likely to experience that having a therapist isn’t mandatory. Anyway Dr Khurana you deserve support irrespective of your career but as an aspiring psychiatrist your lived experience of mental health may allow you to bring a more compassionate, holistic and comprehensive approach to your patients. I hope you have created a support system for yourself. I know it takes time and energy to find the right people. Wishing you all the best.
Completely true. I’m a licensed professional counselor and I have my own counselor. I’ve been on medical leave, but my clients are all Medicaid (mostly kids) and Medicare. Since the vast majority are low income, I put out fires more than anything else as a case manager. Counseling isn’t going to help if the client doesn’t have food, electricity, water, clothes, etc. I’ve got to get those taken care of so the kids don’t get taken from their parents. Kids that are already traumatized by poverty being thrown into foster care is not a good thing unless they absolutely need it. And I get paid less for case management units than counseling units, but both come out of the same pot. Use all the units up on case management and no therapy is paid for, even though we still do it. You can’t just walk away all the time. I once spent 11 hours in an ER to make sure a client was admitted for inpatient. I only got paid for 3. It takes a toll on your mental health quickly.
This was incredible ! TRUTH TO ALL ! ER Doc here. I am always thinking about this and pray for health. Without it there is nothing else. Take care of yourself ! If NOT Neurosurgeons EGO will consume us all !!!!!
I hope the Psychiatrist - and everyone else - will remember that they deserve to be taken care of for their own sake, not just so they can take care of others. 💜💙💚🧡❤
This has actually convinced me to go to therapy. Not an actual therapist, just some guy a lot of people talk to, cause they need someone to listen. I'm struggling.
I'm just concluding a psychiatry rotation in med school, Nigeria. As I heard Mental Health's voice, the first thing that came to mind was "auditory hallucinations"?!
This hits to the bottom. Emotional draining happens so often in psychiatry so as a trainee I sought guidance by my superiors and yes this was the advice. Know your limit. Empathy is good but without Emotional drainage. Be with your own life other than work etc... Such a nice clip. Love it
Dr. Glaucomflecken, you are the most funny and intelligent doctor/comedian I have ever seen! Also can you please do oncology, I would love to see what Johnathan sees the oncologists as!
Brilliantly storytelling sir! Us nurses need to pull out a magic mirror to pay attention and look ourselves in the eyes. Stop to take care of ourselves and not be inflated with big, busy, rescuing egos .
I mean yeah, all the doctors of this hospital are mental but they are extremely passionate about helping those who in need.As a med student i find it heartwarming in a scary, strange way. Lot of love to Dr.Glaucomflecken♥️♥️
aww 🥺 this is why a lot of people wonder how psychiatrists and therapists take care of themselves when they’re so used to taking care of others. it’s a very selfless career to walk into. i hope all those in selfless careers such as this, realize they’re always a priority. your health is incredibly important too
I guess one benefit of being an intern is not having to worry about this inner monologue yet. We don't even pretend like there's remotely enough time to look after our own mental or physical health :p
Makes absolutely no sense to me that this torturous method persists for interns in medicine. It's "as if", since I suffered through it, you must...like intergenerational trauma. Imagine how learning during internship might be of a higher caliber if the hours didn't necessitate surrender of all life-affirming, balancing facets. As said herein, if you're going to force yourself into poor self care, who's coming into the healing profession healthy? With a value for other lives, and a heart-felt attempt at helping people take good care of themselves? "Very stupid", I hear a Zen Master saying. Even Hipocrates would've laughed out loud before calling out this ridiculous frat boy/girl hazing continuity.
@Podalirius1 Trust me,your mental state affects everything else you do. What kept me afloat in internship was prayer and counsel from the chaplain. You need support, vacation time, to take breaks and have fun even if it is just a snippet of time. Believe me, I know what it's like.
Dr. G, my hero. Such great insights, (actually applies to all docs), and so gentle with the humor! I just told a multidisciplinary group that you're better than ten thousand resiliency modules!
If there is room for another kind of feelings bro, I think C&L psychiatry (consult and liaison) would fit really well in your universe. There’s rivalry with neurology, eye-rolling at the consults requested by surgeons for patients who cry, internists discovering new onset schizophrenia in elderly patients with obvious delirium, obsessive checking of QT intervals, and so on.
Psych goes to therapy! Been patiently waiting for this for so long. Therapists need therapy too! It is so nice to see Psych getting the emotional care that he needs as well, for gives so much to all his fellow healthcare colleagues. For this, I am very happy to see him taking care and valuing himself. #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare
This is SO accurate for anyone who works in the mental health field. We know what it’s like to struggle, so we put others before ourselves. Before you know it, you’re feeling the burnout and realize you haven’t done any self care for months.
During my wife's recent hospital visit, I discovered that there is a specialty called Intensivist. That's a doctor who spends his/her time in the intensive care ward. Perhaps he needs to make an appearance. And nurses. We need more nurses. Based on Dr G's videos it's clear that there must be some sane people working in hospitals to keep the doctors in check. I'm guessing it's the nurses.
This is golden, i feel like I'm in the medical field for real, feeling the anxiety, the calm, the depression, the say "no" ..., God bless you Dr. G👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
OMG This is perfect!! Well yes, in order to perform therapy, it's mandatory for us to go to therapy, specially if you work in a psychoanalytic frame! It's the best way to take care of our blind spots that could make us be indulgent upon a patient's particular problem. Although I know that many Psychiatrists don't actually perform therapy, but it's the ideal scenario. And despite how stressful this line of work actually is, I love it and I respectfully salute all the Feelings Bros out there!
This is hillarious. There could be a part 2 for this. Of course there is also a truth in it: we cannot take care of others if we don't take care of ourselves well.
A really beautiful message. Not only for feelings bro, but as an genuine advice for everyone. Take care of yourselves, people. You and the people around you will appreciate that.
was SOOO looking forward to this! I knew it would come up. Most important part of being a therapist or MH counselor or psychiatrist or anyone working with anyone's intense feelings/safety is having someone they can professionally and personally confide in
Yes! At long last!! The psychiatrist is getting the aid... I feel the mirror's pain... It is hard to prioritize others more than you own and never realized that you compromise way too much and you are left being more messed up or depressed even more 🤧🤧🤧... Maybe pedia could help strengthen the pep talk of mirror bro.. Cause pedia is secretly savage 😂
Yesssss....pedia is AWESOME...we luv them all...this u tube channel is a blessing in so many ways....takes the edge off a little...being in the medical field is flippin' brutal @ times
I love this, thank you so much. Therapists should do training therapy at the very least, it is a great tradition and one that got lost with the biological psychiatry movement. Who cares for the caregivers otherwise? And then we will gladly continue to keep neurosurgery's ego at bay.
These comments are absolutely awesome 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...luv it...n I literally watch Dr G on a daily at least once...this doctor has been a blessing...laughter is the best medicine
Thos was the best! I requested a video about the psychiatrist going to a psychiatrist. This was good! Thank you for listening to us. Thanks for your videos too! 😻
This is a really important lesson for all professions that deal with mental health. I'm glad my professors talked about this stuff when training to be a youth worker too, burnout is a huge problem.
People that work in mental health are more prone to trauma induced metal illness because our entire job is listening to the worst of all our clients' lives, their traumas, their bad behavior, and take that information to our graves. Therapists are around 7 -14 clients in a day, but usually only get to see their own therapist once a week for the normal amount of session time. Working in mental health means taking on mental and emotional wounds. Bullet wounds from ricochets are still wounds, and we are inundated with them. Mental health professionals are freaking saints. Except psychiatrists. Psychiatrists rarely do talk therapy and act more like neuro. So while I like these skits a lot, they're inaccurate to psychiatry. They are however a wonderful parody of psychotherapy.
i just felt like u talked with me and many other doctors out there! while being a doctor we always forget that we also come 1st! our health is as important! thanks feelings bro 🤗
"Im looking at theman in the mirror....yeah yeah im asking him to change his ways( or some thing to that effect, we need some Mikey on this)....!" Dont do the Coagulation cascade like that! Psychiatrists always need a psychiatrist and thats a fact. Lmfao
Planning for getting started with psychology classes next year (not psychiatry- i couldnt possibly handle that) and its already true. I find many people drawn to mental health struggle deeply with rumination and self doubt, and it makes sense. Personal trauma and stress can be a big motivating factor to try and prevent others from going through the same thing. I fear for psychological fields, you end up playing a LOT of mind games and denying your own issues.
#1 rule of being a feelings bro in feelings bro school is knowing you need your own feelings bro. The undeniable truth.
Bro... that was beautiful
Bro... you're a feelings bro now
Amen...n yes

I'm not a therapist but I'm the appointed therapist in every grp of friends I have and even strangers sometimes with a lot of progress
I find that just talking about your problems is soothing but addictive and more self destructive than most things you can do, if you need advice sure go for it but if it's for decompression you're just sniffing a very hard to obtain cocaine to deal with your life
Emotional support wont always be there, specislly of youre a man, then it's even worse cause even your emotional support will get tired of you
So the thing you got addicted to will not only have a smaller impact but you'll get less of it as well, terrible stuff
Anyway to put things into context, random folk usually can get a lot from talking about their problems because someone can shed a light or show them what's stopping them from seeing their problems... but if you already have answers it's devastating, and that goes for the "therapist" as well
I'd day 60% of those who come to me are appointed grp therapists too and I can see the pressure, but complaining just makes them meltdown cause they have the answers they just want help carrying it but there's no help ever, if you do feel like there's help your problem is probably BS to begin with

Anyway Dr Khurana you deserve support irrespective of your career but as an aspiring psychiatrist your lived experience of mental health may allow you to bring a more compassionate, holistic and comprehensive approach to your patients. I hope you have created a support system for yourself. I know it takes time and energy to find the right people. Wishing you all the best.
'Controlling Neurosurgery's Ego' is the glue that binds the Dr G. Universe together lol
Completely true. I’m a licensed professional counselor and I have my own counselor. I’ve been on medical leave, but my clients are all Medicaid (mostly kids) and Medicare. Since the vast majority are low income, I put out fires more than anything else as a case manager. Counseling isn’t going to help if the client doesn’t have food, electricity, water, clothes, etc. I’ve got to get those taken care of so the kids don’t get taken from their parents. Kids that are already traumatized by poverty being thrown into foster care is not a good thing unless they absolutely need it. And I get paid less for case management units than counseling units, but both come out of the same pot. Use all the units up on case management and no therapy is paid for, even though we still do it. You can’t just walk away all the time. I once spent 11 hours in an ER to make sure a client was admitted for inpatient. I only got paid for 3. It takes a toll on your mental health quickly.
This was incredible ! TRUTH TO ALL ! ER Doc here. I am always thinking about this and pray for health. Without it there is nothing else. Take care of yourself ! If NOT Neurosurgeons EGO will consume us all !!!!!
I hope the Psychiatrist - and everyone else - will remember that they deserve to be taken care of for their own sake, not just so they can take care of others. 💜💙💚🧡❤
This has actually convinced me to go to therapy. Not an actual therapist, just some guy a lot of people talk to, cause they need someone to listen. I'm struggling.
The radiologist is down to ONE pair of indoor sunglasses, and Surgery has ALMOST learned Anesthesia’s name!
So much progress!!
Feelings Dude! This advice is so true! I'm a social worker and I tend to forget this great advice. Great aspect with the mirror! Loved it.
“neurosurgery’s ego will consume us all” as expected…
Neurothanos
😂 though we neurosurgeons are not that egoistic
FINALLY!!! As a child and Adolescent Psychiatrist I've been waiting for this!!! It was great! Thank you!!!
Thanks Dr.G for bringing up mental health as an important issue
I'm just concluding a psychiatry rotation in med school, Nigeria.
As I heard Mental Health's voice, the first thing that came to mind was "auditory hallucinations"?!
This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Also, I love ortho bro's personality
Ortho bro is very sweet and just a little slow. Love him!
Ortho bro might be my favorite. Maybe Pathology, too.
Okay, that advice on taking care of yourself before treating patients is spot on, really!
This hits to the bottom. Emotional draining happens so often in psychiatry so as a trainee I sought guidance by my superiors and yes this was the advice. Know your limit. Empathy is good but without Emotional drainage. Be with your own life other than work etc... Such a nice clip. Love it
This is me taking care of all my friends who are having a hard time while i'm in the hospital lol. Preach it mirror universe Psychiatrist!
Dr. Glaucomflecken, you are the most funny and intelligent doctor/comedian I have ever seen!
Also can you please do oncology, I would love to see what Johnathan sees the oncologists as!
Brilliantly storytelling sir! Us nurses need to pull out a magic mirror to pay attention and look ourselves in the eyes. Stop to take care of ourselves and not be inflated with big, busy, rescuing egos .
"I think you know what happens."
"Neurosurgery's ego will consume us all."
"That's right."
I died- BAHAHAHAH
I mean yeah, all the doctors of this hospital are mental but they are extremely passionate about helping those who in need.As a med student i find it heartwarming in a scary, strange way.
Lot of love to Dr.Glaucomflecken♥️♥️
aww 🥺 this is why a lot of people wonder how psychiatrists and therapists take care of themselves when they’re so used to taking care of others. it’s a very selfless career to walk into. i hope all those in selfless careers such as this, realize they’re always a priority. your health is incredibly important too
I guess one benefit of being an intern is not having to worry about this inner monologue yet. We don't even pretend like there's remotely enough time to look after our own mental or physical health :p
Makes absolutely no sense to me that this torturous method persists for interns in medicine. It's "as if", since I suffered through it, you must...like intergenerational trauma.
Imagine how learning during internship might be of a higher caliber if the hours didn't necessitate surrender of all life-affirming, balancing facets. As said herein, if you're going to force yourself into poor self care, who's coming into the healing profession healthy? With a value for other lives, and a heart-felt attempt at helping people take good care of themselves?
"Very stupid", I hear a Zen Master saying. Even Hipocrates would've laughed out loud before calling out this ridiculous frat boy/girl hazing continuity.
Makes as much sense as the doctor who invented the residency structure being addicted to cocaine and morphine.
@Podalirius1 Trust me,your mental state affects everything else you do. What kept me afloat in internship was prayer and counsel from the chaplain. You need support, vacation time, to take breaks and have fun even if it is just a snippet of time. Believe me, I know what it's like.
Dr. G, my hero. Such great insights, (actually applies to all docs), and so gentle with the humor! I just told a multidisciplinary group that you're better than ten thousand resiliency modules!
I liked this as soon as Ortho responds "no it's not" to the heart metaphor!
We have so been waiting for this moment! And it surprisingly was totally different than expected. The video editing is great!
If there is room for another kind of feelings bro, I think C&L psychiatry (consult and liaison) would fit really well in your universe. There’s rivalry with neurology, eye-rolling at the consults requested by surgeons for patients who cry, internists discovering new onset schizophrenia in elderly patients with obvious delirium, obsessive checking of QT intervals, and so on.
Psych goes to therapy!
Been patiently waiting for this for so long.
Therapists need therapy too!
It is so nice to see Psych getting the emotional care that he needs as well, for gives so much to all his fellow healthcare colleagues. For this, I am very happy to see him taking care and valuing himself. #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare
Ah yes, the Krebs cycle. I keep it stored next to my memories of chylomicrons and the structure of a sarcomere.
You once knew the structure of a sarcomere? What a flex.
Regardless of job/career; literally the best mental health psa
This is SO accurate for anyone who works in the mental health field. We know what it’s like to struggle, so we put others before ourselves. Before you know it, you’re feeling the burnout and realize you haven’t done any self care for months.
During my wife's recent hospital visit, I discovered that there is a specialty called Intensivist. That's a doctor who spends his/her time in the intensive care ward. Perhaps he needs to make an appearance. And nurses. We need more nurses. Based on Dr G's videos it's clear that there must be some sane people working in hospitals to keep the doctors in check. I'm guessing it's the nurses.
From the stories I've heard the nurses are the worst ones
It's certainly not the admin.
As a new PA about to start working in the mental Healthcare field, this was a very timely and pertinent reminder.
"I can't stop now I'm making too much. . ." Totally thought it was going to be money haha
This is golden, i feel like I'm in the medical field for real, feeling the anxiety, the calm, the depression, the say "no" ...,
God bless you Dr. G👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
I've been expecting this uno reverse card long ago
OMG This is perfect!!
Well yes, in order to perform therapy, it's mandatory for us to go to therapy, specially if you work in a psychoanalytic frame! It's the best way to take care of our blind spots that could make us be indulgent upon a patient's particular problem. Although I know that many Psychiatrists don't actually perform therapy, but it's the ideal scenario.
And despite how stressful this line of work actually is, I love it and I respectfully salute all the Feelings Bros out there!
This is hillarious. There could be a part 2 for this. Of course there is also a truth in it: we cannot take care of others if we don't take care of ourselves well.
Chef's kiss to the " neurosurgery ego will consume us all"
Ty for making this videos, im not a medic or any health care service...actually im and attorney but some how your videos are so relaxing!
I am not a healthcare professional and I too 💗Doc Glauc's videos.
There is something universally appealing about them.
I'm struggling with burnout and this brightened up my day beyond words. Thank you
I've photographed myself in a mirror like that. It's not as easy as it looks! Nice job. I love seeing psychiatry taking care of himself too.
This man’s eyes or way of speaking is so encouraging and caring. Da heck is dis magic?
mirror, mirror, on the wall…
who’s the best psychiatrist of them all?
OMG. The guy take care of every doctor's mental health is the craziest guy of them all.
This RUclips doctor series is a 5 Emmy award deserved series.
"Neurosurgery's ego will consume us all" 😂😂😂 it's the apocalypse
A really beautiful message.
Not only for feelings bro, but as an genuine advice for everyone.
Take care of yourselves, people.
You and the people around you will appreciate that.
Ohmygosh, this explains why my therapist best friend was so into mirrors, lol, she needed therapy too! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
was SOOO looking forward to this! I knew it would come up. Most important part of being a therapist or MH counselor or psychiatrist or anyone working with anyone's intense feelings/safety is having someone they can professionally and personally confide in
Genius. This man is a genius.
Doc, this is brilliant--the mirror thing?? I love it!
I laughed out loud when he said he huge out with Krebs Cycle as a repressed memory.
Not later feelings bro!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣I love these!
Finally...Psychiatry goes to therapy...Inception level stuff here
Awesome reminder to everyone out there right now. You can't take care of others until you're alright as well.
How does your content never get old
The video I've been longing for. Thanks doc. Highly appreciate your efforts for us doc G.
Yes! At long last!! The psychiatrist is getting the aid... I feel the mirror's pain... It is hard to prioritize others more than you own and never realized that you compromise way too much and you are left being more messed up or depressed even more 🤧🤧🤧...
Maybe pedia could help strengthen the pep talk of mirror bro.. Cause pedia is secretly savage 😂
Yesssss....pedia is AWESOME...we luv them all...this u tube channel is a blessing in so many ways....takes the edge off a little...being in the medical field is flippin' brutal @ times
I'm going to be a Psychiatrist and this is a very helpful reminder. Thank you!
I love this, thank you so much. Therapists should do training therapy at the very least, it is a great tradition and one that got lost with the biological psychiatry movement. Who cares for the caregivers otherwise? And then we will gladly continue to keep neurosurgery's ego at bay.
I remember a fan suggesting this!!! I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW, this is so wholesome!!!!
That is so accurate and true. Well done
These comments are absolutely awesome 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...luv it...n I literally watch Dr G on a daily at least once...this doctor has been a blessing...laughter is the best medicine
The psychiatrist needs a Jonathan to get him through this
I SO need a Jonathan.
@@tmm6884 Be the Jonathan you wish to see in the world I mean
Thos was the best! I requested a video about the psychiatrist going to a psychiatrist. This was good! Thank you for listening to us. Thanks for your videos too! 😻
Feelings bro....
"Neurosurgery's ego will consume us all."
Preach it!
The insight that it takes to make these videos suggests to me that Dr. G would probably make an excellent psychiatrist.
Oh it’s not THAT bad! I’m sure Admin will step in with a module before it comes to that.
Theme song for psychiatrist today is Man in the mirror 😂
This is a really important lesson for all professions that deal with mental health. I'm glad my professors talked about this stuff when training to be a youth worker too, burnout is a huge problem.
Circle of life 😂
Even therapists can have mental health issues. No one is perfect.
People that work in mental health are more prone to trauma induced metal illness because our entire job is listening to the worst of all our clients' lives, their traumas, their bad behavior, and take that information to our graves. Therapists are around 7 -14 clients in a day, but usually only get to see their own therapist once a week for the normal amount of session time.
Working in mental health means taking on mental and emotional wounds. Bullet wounds from ricochets are still wounds, and we are inundated with them.
Mental health professionals are freaking saints.
Except psychiatrists. Psychiatrists rarely do talk therapy and act more like neuro.
So while I like these skits a lot, they're inaccurate to psychiatry. They are however a wonderful parody of psychotherapy.
i just felt like u talked with me and many other doctors out there! while being a doctor we always forget that we also come 1st! our health is as important! thanks feelings bro 🤗
"Im looking at theman in the mirror....yeah yeah im asking him to change his ways( or some thing to that effect, we need some Mikey on this)....!" Dont do the Coagulation cascade like that! Psychiatrists always need a psychiatrist and thats a fact. Lmfao
#1 rule of being a human. Sadly, too many haven’t figured it out yet. Thank you for the reminder 💜
As an academic psychologist, I laughed my ass off at the “repressed memories” moment. You forgot the membrane theory of excitation! :D
Planning for getting started with psychology classes next year (not psychiatry- i couldnt possibly handle that) and its already true. I find many people drawn to mental health struggle deeply with rumination and self doubt, and it makes sense. Personal trauma and stress can be a big motivating factor to try and prevent others from going through the same thing. I fear for psychological fields, you end up playing a LOT of mind games and denying your own issues.
