really good and i prefer the longer sessions.
The longer version is so much better. It reflects not just the issues that need some addressing, but our humanity as our life’s path unfolds. Keep it coming.
Loved the longer session, thank you both.
Thank you very much! I have the same problems...health anxiety, overthinking, a lot of time spend in my head with a lot of worries. The same kind of parents, with same kind of anxieties...so I have learned from my early years that this is how I supposed to think, feel around a health issue. So...what are the next steps for me? The Reset program only or there is anything else that could help me on this healing path. Because I'm sooo exhausted of this way of thinking and I really want to change my life from now on. CBT also is hard for me to process. Thank you again for your inspirational videos!❤🙏
To Alex and team - I definitely like the longer unedited version better than the shorter edited episodes. I was not able to watch the whole thing in one go, but I much prefer pausing the video as needed and getting the whole session.
To Al - thank you for sharing your story! There are several issues you struggle with that I relate to.
I really enjoyed this longer version. Thank you Al for allowing us to follow you on your journey with Alex as it’s extremely helpful.
I like that this is less edited and have enjoyed the short clips and shorts as well, they are a great reminder of the key points in the longer episode.
I was looking forward to this, cause health anxiety is such a big piece of the puzzle for me, one of the contributing factors to chronic illness I am recovering from that makes health anxiety 100 times worse. While I worked through many many other things, this one is sticky AF...so hearing someone else describing it in a very similar way that I feel it, kinda helps me to look at it from a distance.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: although it was very useful to learn the techniques and challenge my thought process (find the nasty inner critic and dismiss him/her), in therapy CBT often seemed simplistic, very manipulative and very like the old trauma. "Something's wrong with your thinking, why don't you think my way?" "Are you sure you are right about that? Let's reframe it." (sounds just like my mother rewriting reality day after day, "what do you think happened? No, here's what really happened." -- and it's patent bullshit). So, I took a course in CBT (heading for a certification) and after about 5 lessons I'd had enough and dropped out. Not for me.
I really enjoyed this. It was different. Well done Alex and Al. Good session
Thank you Al for sharing & going on this journey, so many common themes and experiences for I’m sure many of us, so this process will be very beneficial! All the best~
Fascinating how traumatic childhood impacts our personalities and thinking. Well done both.
Really enjoy the longer unedited version, more real, great!!
I like the longer version. But perhaps for those who don’t have that much time, you could mention the timestamp of various points in the interview to jump to?
Oh Al...what a great guy who seems to feel so much guilt and beating up over who he is...his mother's voice maybe. I hope he can start to get to a place where he can see how much he has to offer and what a lovely guy he is. :)
I have just come across your therapy sessions and l am amazed at the depths you go into with each client. Having had CBT and ACT therapy for health anxiety, l find it interesting how you give feedback at each junction about what you perceive the person is experiencing and how you will address the issue.l would like to know more about the reset programme.
Thank you for sharing this material and also a big thank you to the clients for being willing to share their stories.
I loved the longer episode thank you
As the daughter of alcoholic/dysfunctional parents, I notice the alcohol use which looks to me unhealthy and/or excessive. But then, we ACA's are hyper vigilant.
Wonderful. Love the long form . This is the channel our world needs.
I feel this offers people who have never gone through therapy see how magnificent therapy is!!
I have been sharing so many episodes since I found you.
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I really enjoyed it!!! Great job Alex and Al!
Thank you Al and Alex for sharing I can relate to you Al with having back pain and tinnitus like you and much more health anxiety too
Been watching many of the hour sessions. They really help me. I learn from hearing your questions and comments and then seeing how the client is helped and starts to heal.
Really enjoyed this unedited longer format....so interesting. I really look forward to seeing how Al gets on. Health anxiety is still my constant companion despite healing so many other areas of my life, so watching this is really helpful... Thank you Alex and Al...😊
Brilliant session Alex. Thank you Al for sharing, you are helping many others. So informative to follow the entire session, hope you will continue with this format.
Thank you I really liked this format in full.
I really enjoyed this session, more in depth and real. Emotions are messy at times, and this is a good example of it, unedited. I could really relate to the intervjuee(?), he explains his emotions well, and I'm rooting for him to find his way out and in to a happier self🙏
Thanks for sharing this session. I appreciate the patient being open and vulnerable to allow others to get ideas on how to approach similar struggles.
I found it mesmerising to watch a whole therapy session. Thanks for sharing!
I’d be interested to know how the client took to the discipline of doing the initial modules homework since at the outset he mentioned his past experience of not doing self-work exercises in other courses…
👏🏼📈
Loved the full unedited session. Thanks for sharing your story Al, I'm sure many of us can relate to the issues discussed.
I really liked the full, unedited session format! It flows well and has details that add to the understanding of the whole situation.
Alex is right " He's drinking to self medicate" I use food to try and soothe the discomfort i feel inside
Thanks for this. I am working through emotions and trauma from my past and found myself in tears at one point during this session because it brought up some old stuff for me. It helps to feel the emotions and move through them so that I don't numb out and deny them as I was taught to do in the past. Great session.
Thank you very much for such an amazing video.he sounds like my sister who has tried everything including cbt , but DBT helpers her more and she was diagnosed with bpd as well
Please include and talk more about health anxiety....unfortunately we are so many dealing with it
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
LOVE this format, bu the real question is what’s his band name?? LMFAO.
I like the whole unedited sessions! I hope you stick with them. They feel more inclusive of how everything comes out through real life conversation. Too much editing these days. I like the real deal. Thanks Alex!
😊😊😊😊😊😊
A.full session is amazing ! Especially as a trainee therapist! Loving it! 🙏❤️
Thank you so much of these. Because of watching all the different sessions, I booked my first counselling appointment a couple of months ago and it has helped so much. Thank you.
Excellent thank you , I can relate to a lot of these symptoms and it’s so great watching a live session, looking forward to future episodes .
Great chat. I have had several similar experiences. I'd like to suggest that he buy a Muse headset to assist him with his meditation. It's a great tool with instant feedback and I feel that his logical mind will appreciate it.
Wonderful work! We have a lot to learn from you! Thank you for this opportunity!
Al should do an Alpha course. It is life changing.
Love the full session format!
"Can I swear?" Yes. "Fuck" 🤣🤣
I loved this episode 😊😊😊😊
Yes yes yes to the full session! 💪 thank you!!
