Emotional Safety - You’re doing it wrong…

...sometimes! No therapist retains every patient, so all of us must, at times, fail to create emotional safety for a patient. Most therapists, however, believe they are excellent at helping people feel safe and would say they know how to do it and they tailor it to individual patients. But how do they think through that and check their work? Just like patients need therapists to be responsive in case-specific ways that will vary from person to person, what feels emotionally safe to one person can feel very unsettling to another. Even things like non-directiveness, non-judgmentalness, or validating a patient could make some feel unsafe even as it makes others feel safe.
In this video with Trevor Ahrendt, PsyD, we'll explore how control-mastery understands different patients' needs for safety and begin to explore how flexibility in the therapeutic approach, along with careful formulation, can help therapists generate safer feeling therapy for their patients.

"Smash" is so infantile. When I hear an announcer or speakers use the word "smash" the like button", its like hearing the scratch of chalk on the blackboard. Whats wrong with the words "press, tap, enter, -like on the computer keyboard, etc.,". There's so many creative ways to get the expression pleasantly actoss to the listener. Kids, a child smashes things. "Smash", Its immature and lacks sophistication .
