| 0:00.0 | Hey dessert listeners, it's just me today. I thought I would answer your questions. These questions |
| 0:06.1 | are from Discord, the quick pod questions channel, I think it's called Alex, who is a frequent |
| 0:12.7 | contributor to those questions, who always has great questions. It says, is family systems or |
| 0:19.2 | any systems theory only limited to family therapy or can it also be used in individual therapy? |
| 0:25.7 | If so, how? End of question. Yeah, absolutely. It's been used, system theory has been used in |
| 0:32.7 | all forms of therapy since the inception and the introduction of the theory into therapy, I don't |
| 0:41.1 | know, in the 60s-ish times. But it lends itself to family therapy, perhaps more easily or seemingly |
| 0:52.0 | more readily, but honestly, system theory is massively helpful in individual therapy, particularly when |
| 1:00.4 | people are talking about their relationships, right? You know, if it's a very frequent thing that |
| 1:04.9 | clients will come in to talk about their marriage or their relationship with their parents or |
| 1:11.8 | their kids, and if you understand system theory, it's a lens to look at the client through that |

| 1:27.6 | his wife, and if I think more linearly, I might try to figure out who's to blame, sort of speak. |
| 1:39.6 | And although a lot of therapists will claim that they don't really do this, it is something that |
| 1:45.5 | all therapists really have to do. Because, you know, if a husband comes in and says, yeah, my wife, |
| 1:52.0 | you know, she didn't clean the dishes, so I pushed her down the stairs. Like every therapist would say, |
| 1:57.9 | well, that's not, you know, your wife isn't to blame. You're 100% to blame for that, and you |
| 2:04.2 | need to stop doing that, right? And that's an exaggerated example, but micro examples are sort of |
| 2:11.2 | less exaggerated examples is, you know, so I came home from work the other day, and I was in a |
| 2:17.1 | bad mood. And I mean, my wife was, I don't know, she was trying to cheer me up, and I was grumpy, |
| 2:23.6 | and then she started to cry, and I told her that she's crying too much lately, and so I didn't know |
| 2:30.4 | what to do, so I just went to bed. And most therapists, if not all, will hear that story and try to |
