Dear UniversityLeicester, I would like to say, thank you, to you, for taking the time, energy and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube community. Thank You!
I thought this was a good video, the honest account of the therapists, it can be tough and counsellors must be in touch with their own stories to and how this work can impact them. Counsellors are human too. Good upload, thanks for doing this.
+welshhibby Agreed I can't imagine the energy she brings into the room when working with suicidal clients, she is a complete catastropher, she clearly doesn't trust the relationship or her own ability to feel safe working with this area. The other two seem calm, collective and re-assuring and this would translate into their work and help in their clients process, rapport and feeling of safety.
She is being so honest though and was saying exactly how a lot of us would feel, she said she takes it to supervision. Out of everyone she said that 'its about the relationship' i found this powerful
If she has negative emotions towards her clients, shouldn't she refer them onto someone else. Only those that have experienced mental health issues understand the torment it carries.
I think and feel strongly, that the lady in the grey top, should be taken off her job.....Getting angry with a patient who continues to feel suicidal, is NOT a good therapist....Maybe a cleaning job would be more appropriate for her...And when a patient does commit suicide, she has NO concern about the poor person, but rather JUST about herself !! Quite sociopathic response, really !
Evy Courtney I understand your response, but anger is not the opposite of compassion, and it can come hand in hand with fear. I respect the responses she gives. They're honest. That invites trust. I've been a psychotherapist for 7 years and am applying for a job at Leicester University. I hope I get to work alongside these people.
You don't know what you're talking about. Feeling angry, does not mean showing her anger. Therapists can manage and separate their feelings from their patient. If she denies her anger, then the anger might slip out during a session. She'll discuss and learn to understand her own reaction to suicide in her own private therapy or supervision. Oh, and kudos to demeaning people who clean for a living, as well.
I know you made your comment 5 years ago but I watched this video today as part of suicide training in my job as an administrative/appointments secretary for a charity that provides counselling. I’ve had therapy and experienced some dark times and I thought her responses were awful! I admit I felt a bit triggered but totally inappropriate for an administrator to hear!
@@marmaladebabe Therapists NEED TO say how tough and uncomfortable their job can be. If they pretend otherwise they burn out and cannot be of help to anyone. You do realise therapists are human? You realise that they can have human emotions and keep ones that might interfere with their clients therapy out of the room?
@@writingme yes of course I understand that. I’m an administrator and I didn’t think it was relevant for me to hear those thoughts when I need training on how to manage a suicidal member of the public that I might end up talking to me through my work. It annoyed me listening to her. I’ve been in therapy and had some bad experiences and it irked me.

As a counsellor in training it is very important to recognize the fear that the new counsellor needs to acknowledge. This is a great video. Thanks

Thanks for sharing, very insightful about the importance of the counselor becoming emotionally aware of her or his own feelings.
Thanks for your honesty. This is challenging part of counselling - or counselling training in my case. I'm glad I found this video.
Great video, thank you
interesting my counsellor is very good this video humanises her she is scared and fallible too thanks for uploading this
The lady with grey top doesn't seem suited to this line of work.

She also has zero concern for the patient...but rather, just thinks about herself.....She seems either Narcissistic to me, or even sociopathic
She is being so honest though and was saying exactly how a lot of us would feel, she said she takes it to supervision. Out of everyone she said that 'its about the relationship' i found this powerful

I agree
This is great information, thanks 🙏
This is more about how therapist feel then proper tools or intervention
Thank you for your honest accounts.
fear of being locked up !
Very insightful.
I thought the guy in the first segment was the patient.
