Super helpful episode! That joy of putting aside your own ego and entering into the client’s (or fellow human’s) world with an attitude of “what do I know?!” is something I experience often, but I don’t usually put it into words well or find other people who enjoy that. So that’s cool to hear. Also the advice on using research was reassuring and helpful!
2018-04-25 05:05:49 +0000 UTCIt depends on your role and the goal. Therapists don't "get" people to do things. Clients ask therapists for help and therapists provide that help. If the request has nothing to do with the belief, then ethical and effective therapists don't bother with it.

2018-04-13 19:00:16 +0000 UTCI am not a therapist, but I wasn't quite clear on how and when you intervene if the belief becomes problematic. So for the hypothetical client who believed his family would be resurrected by aliens, if he thinks the aliens want him to turn over his life savings and quit his job, or if he becomes housebound because he's waiting for his family to come back, what then? How do you get them to see that the relatively benign irrational belief is now causing irrational behavior?
