| 0:00.0 | Hey to certain listeners, a lot of you have been asking me to watch this Netflix documentary |
| 0:04.4 | Stuts by Jonah Hill. I think he talks with his therapist and there's a lot of people. I don't |
| 0:10.0 | think I've ever had so many requests to watch something, so let's watch and see what happens. |
| 0:15.5 | Okay, entertain me. That's actually what you say when I sit down. |
| 0:21.2 | Yes, what I say to everybody. Yeah, when we have a therapy session, that's not filmed for a movie. |
| 0:27.0 | Okay, so it looks like it is Jonah Hill's actual therapist. He starts off the session by saying |
| 0:33.7 | entertain me. There's a lot of thinking in my field, a lot of debate and a lot of personal |
| 0:38.9 | handering as a therapist. All of us will worry about what do we say at the beginning of every session? |
| 0:45.5 | Because, you know, it can set the tone. You could hurt someone's feelings. How do you set the |
| 0:51.7 | stage? How do you express interest? How do you? But the thing is, is by the time you're my age, |
| 0:57.8 | you've had thousands and thousands of sessions. So you can't start every session with something |
| 1:04.4 | different. You kind of have to have a routine, but you also don't want to have it come across |
| 1:09.0 | like you're just mailing it in, like you're just, you know, going through the motions, right? So |
| 1:14.3 | you want to have emphasis to it. So I think that's more of the concern for novice therapists, |
| 1:20.9 | therapists out there. I would say that there are things that you obviously don't want to say at |
| 1:24.4 | the beginning of session. Like, tell me how screwed up you are today or something. But I don't know, |
| 1:29.2 | some therapists could pull that off if they're joking and they have a client that likes that kind |
| 1:33.3 | of a joke. So, you know, there's really no rules to therapy like that. But anyway, the key though |
| 1:38.6 | is to somehow express to the client that you're open, that you want to know how they're doing. |
| 1:45.3 | It really also depends on the style of therapy that you do, right? If you're a pretty strict |
| 1:49.6 | CBT therapist, you might actually say, all right, let's go over your homework. That might be the |
| 1:54.1 | first thing that you say. Or if you're an IFS therapist, you might say something like, all right, |
