I like listening to you not only for your skill set but the wisdom you impart! Most of these stories had nothing to do with clinical skill or theories, but more so your intuition, wisdom and understanding of what drives human behaviour. Beautiful lessons! Thank you!

Your ability to comprehend clients' situation and come up with orginal solutions is very impressive. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thanks for the video! I would love to play a "beat depression" game!
I used google to some learn some new terms:
A "Zimmer frame" is a UK term for a "Walker".
"Sycophantically" means using flattery to get what you want.

So useful, thanks Mark. Do you do many talks/training opportunities in Kent? I’d be very interested.

[@madeincoventryshop]

If the person's point of pride, goals and identity appears to be tightly based around 1 thing for example a sport and they can no longer do that sport due to injury what could be done to find new things to motivate them ?
There feel they have nothing to live for and don't deserve to have anything nice or positive.

[@mihaiapostol7864]

maybe used some other emotional drivers behind their enjoyment of sports? for example, maybe they like being competitive, or being challenged, or setting milestones and reaching them, all of which can be done in other domains beside sports

[@patriciamichlik688]
