I like how Dr. Grande pointed out Mr. Harris' automatic thought that the drug dealer had no options. It's amazing that Mr. Harris is taking on the drug dealers hopelessness because he is familiar with the circumstances yet still holds a glimmer of hope. I also like the fact that Dr. Grande gets Mr. Harris to realize that he has to be genuine with his message before he gives it to the youth that he works with. I like the idea of self talk when the automatic thought is recognized.
This is excellent. I thought Dr. Grande's approach to this client (who, I think, has one of the most challenging job's imaginable) and suggestions were very good. I gained insight personally as well because I often feel at a loss talking to a young person who has so many cards stacked against him. Trying to offer some kind of encouragement can seem hopeless. Excellent acting! This video really tugged at my heartstrings. Thank you Dr. Grande (and client actor!)!
Mr. Harris is wearing a Maryland sweatshirt and probably works in Baltimore. Without to much detail, I'm living a very similar reality and this video rings very true. Im SO thankful 🙏🏽
This session takes a long time to get where it is trying to go. The best part was that Dr. Grande pointed out that he may have an affective reaction rather than noticing a thought. I think this is an important point. Triggers and reactions don't always follow a linear schedule.
Good video! Burnout is real, but we are all in a better world with people who are willing to put themselves in situations that are tough. No one is meant to be "the one" to change someone's life...(that's too heavy a burden in relation to many people's situations.) I think the hope is that, no effort is ever in vain. For at some point in the future, something may shift for the individual, as a result of the cumulative efforts of those willing to bear witness and engage. Accepting, that it may not bear fruit in your time of knowing them, but you may have helped in the planting of the seeds!
When viewing this CBT role-play, I first looked for the listening skills. I noticed that empathy and reflection of feeling as well as affirmation and encouragement was used. However, paraphrasing and open and closed questioning were more frequent. The focus is mainly on the thought process and how feelings (mood) and behaviors (reaction or response) are linked. Key words introduced were automatic thoughts, the new message, and self-talk. The goal is to disrupt the automatic thoughts. The client determines for themselves what the self-talk would be. The process was explained and homework of logging automatic thoughts, self-talk applied and outcome was assigned. What I wonder is are most clients able to easily determine how to challenge their automatic thoughts.
Excellent video. However, one important thing that was not directly addressed but was tangentiallly referenced was the client's identification with his client. Clearly the issues the youth was dealing with are attached to the cllient's [therapist] neurtoic experiences with racism and despair. And though Dr. G was on point helping the client work through some of his feelings and concerns related to his effectiveness as a therapist, one thing I would have liked to see was Dr. G acknowledge his client's ongoing feelings of racism and despair and how those feelings are triggered by the youths he works with. A recommendation that they spend future sessions working through unresolved issues and neurotic conficts he is experiencing should be a supervision issue to be addressed.

Great video - I know it is acting but it's so close to the reality I have seen working with this clientele.

nice observations, i need to do these for my mock counselling session
I have the same question and as an amatuer i would suspect not.
I would think challenging their automatic thoughts would be difficult as that thought might have been automatic for years, even decades.
Gotta say the actor is brilliant
This is such a valuable video. Thank you!
Great topic, great role play / acting
I enjoyed this video, it has been very useful as a tool in viewing CBT in relation of loss of hope.
This is an excellent video , shows all the steps of cbt counseling!! Genuine !
Wow, this is great.
Wonderful role playing. Thanks alot
Great stuff here. Thank you.
There's a tapping off camera that is quite distracting
I can't stop watching these but I'm dying to know what that noise is lol
