LIVE ISTDP Therapy Session

self worth you are valued my friend

the serotonin depletes it never stays at a high level

Licensed therapist here. I thought that toward the end Dr. Lamb was too aggressive in pushing Kyle in a desired direction. Was he feeling something towards her that was similar to his established pattern (this seemed to be the assumption), or was he simply having a reaction to her repeated, insistent questioning? (I know I was.) I don't see a part 2 posted. I wonder if there was ever a follow-up discussion.

Made it all the way through. Researching a role as a Dr. in therapy.

Doubts

What a weird therapist, as one myself. She is assuming he has transference. So many "whats the feeling?" "whats coming up for you" "What do you notice inside" Super 1st semester grad student stuff. This was painful and so focused on transference and sort of forcing this on him-he isnt even presenting a relationship issue where transference would be more appropriate to consider. Man!

ISTDP masterclass. Putting the pressure on!

Inspiring. Watched til the end 😉

lol "well, now I'm getting annoyed" is such a common response to blocking the defense and inviting feelings omg

Could the worsening depression in May have to do with temperature? I feel worse when it gets warm.
Thank you for your video.

I love everything about this. Kyle is of course so smart and brave as an anchor. But, Dr. Lamb too is so intelligent that I'm fawning! As bad as I feel for Kyle being in that place, Dr. Lamb was so professional and really brought the intensity that the technique requires to show us what it involves. And for this, I'm grateful. Thanks so much to Dr. Lamb, Kyle both!

Does this med circle guy not know how severe withdrawal symptoms can be? You literally had your brain severely altered since you were a child. That seriously fucks up your brain, but it doesn’t mean you can’t safely get off those drugs, you just have to do it over a year or two, decrease slowly

This woman's face says "empathy." And goddamn, she is so insightful!! She can see when clients attack themselves, and she intervenes to question that thought process!!

I get this feeling that Kyle did not have an emotionally present, interested, and available father when he was very young and he had a super dependent mother.

that was so good, 100 percent relate

Made it to the end. Interesting session. She was thorough to reveal that there was some distance in Kyle towards everyone, including her.

Woooowww , sounds like you were describing my life story & my problem ( one of my problems 😅) great job from both of you. Thank you very much for this great video. Searching about ISDPT ( which a therapist referred me to & was first time in my life heard about it ) brought me here

I would feel pressured too because I feel she is pushing too hard

Very helpful. Thanks!

I knew right away that she was trying to get a reaction out of you. She was basically saying "Project onto me what you're feeling" because you were starting to withdrawal. Your behavior was like a hermit crab going into its shell. My initial thought was anger is going to come uo because that's what was being avoided. I think a lot of people are afraid to be angry and they avoid their big emotions by withdrawing from others, even if it will benefit you to express them in a controlled and safe place. I want to watch part 2 because that was so powerful!!❤

thank you for this video Kyle!

My God Kyle, I’ve used to describe my depression and craving feelings as an ugly monkey on by my side never leaving me too.

A year later..... dang Kyle!! Thank you for doing this. It really touched me. It clearly wasn't easy and you hung in there. Your vulnerability has helped tons of us dig deeper into our own emotions and redirect our paths towards healing. THANK YOU!

What a shame she had to rush at the end. She helped bring up some jewels, and then she talked all over them. The session needed just a touch more space, more silence to help the client sink inwards into a feeling sense, instead of being badgered away from them and into his head. Feelings need space, not words. Thank you so much for your candour and vulnerability, and thank you to a therapist who is clearly experienced in her chosen modality. P.s If you remember your depression at the age of 6, then it's likely been brought through from trauma in your last life. I would suggest regression therapy with a very experienced hypnotherapist. Or therapy with someone who can take you there safely without the trance, deep into that dark place, to truly explore its origins and release the possible trauma that may be trapped there.

Where is part 2?

is that a pattern for you

that technique to guide the patient slowly deliver more hints is pretty much well conducted.

Just that I can tell the cause of the anxiety is litelrally from the stress of "showing" anxiety, which I am certainly wish to offer the recognition over that great performance.


Perhaps we may have some greater layer on perservative anxiety in next episode.😉

Much better than Dr Ho.

I like this. Thanks.

Amazing. ISTDP is quite guarded online, so great to see if in action and with such a fantastic client. Therapy is about an experience, not an explanation.

Wow- thank you both for showing all this hard work! Really helpful and moving.

I loved watching this, thank you so much for sharing. And it's wonderfull that the transcript is easy to read too, for a better understanding and even moments one can go back to just study small bits of the dialogue. Wonderfull🙏

Very interesting.

Thank you Kyle. After watching this session, I realized I was avoiding getting help, then I decided to take action.

I made it and many insights for myself which I appreciate !

I landed at this amazing and genuine video as I am starting my training in ISTDP therapy (I am a psychologist). I watched this very carefully and paused to better process the procedure and I thorougly enjoyed it. This video is awesome because I think, Kyle you are greatly equipped mentally and emotionally to engage in therapy and because Dr. Lamb is a great role model of a therapist for me! Thank you so much for this! I am really grateful!!

“There’s a part of you that really wanted to make sure that there was no opportunity for him to take care of you… to support you. You needed in that moment to take care of him.”

That hit me hard….

I just learned about ISTDP. This was a great video! Thank you to those who participated and posted this.

I would give anything for a therapist who actually engages.

She is SO annoying, and you are SO patient, Kyle. I don't think you should put yourself in this kind of situation if you are not able to express anger. Not healthy.

I'm crying my heart now..same story..pushed people away because I don't want to be a burden, self-sufficient, independent... live hundreds of miles away from my family..the needs to be taken care of crushed by my expectations that I should know how to take care if myself..love you Kyle and Dr. Lamb

Felt like I was the one in therapy!! Thank youuu both 🤍bless you

I was once told by someone who made $300K a year on 5th avenue that the internet is all junk advertising. If telling us it was mock at the end doesn't prove this to be true, I don't know what does

I just stumbled across this amazing site! I’ve been looking for this kind of therapy and didn’t even know it.

I feel you Kyle on the “what are you feeling” question. I was cringing. My counselor will ask me this but not nearly as repetitively and because she knows me she knows sometimes I need help figuring out what emotion is prevalent. I even have a notebook that has a list of categorized emotions to reference when I need it. And not because I don’t feel, or don’t know that I do have emotions but because I just never had the words to dig deeper into them. Just wanted to say, I can empathize. <3

I made it to the end. At the same time I don't understand why that was the end. What was the feeling????????

Ok. My therapist sucks. Lol
