The Therapist Thrival Guide is a podcast from Ellie Mental Health. We want to take therapists from just surviving to thriving. This is everything you didn't learn in graduate school! This podcast is hosted by Miranda Barker, MSW LICSW and Dr. Lucas Volini, LMFT. We'll have a different therapist guest for each episode to talk about what they've learned and what they want to teach other therapists. This series will be covering topics like burn-out, client retention, session structure, and balancing professional relationships.
Dr. Lucas Volini, LMFT, has been practicing as a marriage and family therapist for over ten years. He has worked as a couple's therapist, a graduate and undergraduate professor, researcher, author, and now as the Senior Director of Innovation at Ellie Mental Health...But he mostly sees himself as a professional recreational golfer.
Miranda Barker, MSW, LICSW, has been practicing as a therapist for a little over a year. She previously worked as a child protection investigator, adoption social worker, and case manager. She's new to the therapy game and loves soaking up all of the knowledge from the expert therapists in her life. She's currently the Executive Producer at Ellie Mental Health and believes that creativity is an important aspect of mental health care.
Therapist THRIVAL Guide is one of many creative productions from Ellie Mental Health. Ellie is an outpatient mental health clinic that began in St. Paul, Minnesota and has continued to expand to over 20 clinics in Minnesota and a growing number of franchises across the country (we'll be opening over 500 locations in communities nationwide in the near future!!). - Zábava
Watched the movie 3 times. Truly life changing for me. I even did hypnosis, what was great but wasn’t as deep as the tools of stutz get you if you are serious about it. My life package is I am insecure of banal reasons but the tools really help getting control over it. Love it ❤
Im a Mum and the joke about Jonas Mum was fine to me. They are clearly good friends and know eachothers sense of humour. And Jonah clearly knew his Mum wouldn't take it seriously.
It’s not so much the comment - I’m also a mom and have a pretty wicked and dark sense of humor, so from that standpoint I don’t take issue with it at all. But as therapists, we have to be very careful when we make jokes of any kind. And we have to be even more careful when we are portraying therapy to the general public. That’s more the issue here, rather than the comment itself.
My Mum is Harry Styles. Long story. I'll eventually cover it in a future episode when the time is right.
@@lucasvolini that would explain a lot, actually
Very Cool! Understanding the journey of spirituality, awareness, and consciousness with stick figures - This is brilliant. I applaud Jonah Hill for sharing his experience!
I had finally accomplished something extraordinary, but was depressed because nobody else took notice, or cared. So I laid in bed all day. And I watched Stutz. Ironically, I had just written this comment on Fitbit 48 hours earlier.
I was considering stopping my fitness journey. But now, I've realized I've done a lot of the things Stutz talked about. I'll start training again tomorrow. Long, but here it is. Hope it helps someone.......
.How does a 65 year old achieve 130,372 steps in 24 hours?
Furthermore, get 1851 active zone minutes, and over 10,000 calories burned that same day!
What's my process?
For a thorough explanation, the process must be divided into two parts. Part 1 would be the necessary mindset.
And Part 2 would be both the physical training, and game plan for success.
Part 1 THE MINDSET
There wasn't a specific moment when I decided to do something extraordinary. It was a process of about 18 months.
Starting on the day I decided to give life another chance. And ending, the afternoon on January 9th, when I knew I was ready both physically, and mentally.
In July 2021, after a series of tragedies, I became very ill. My doctor gave up on me, and approved hospice. I knew my days were numbered. I was dying of malnutrition, while suffering from intolerable grief, and severe depression.
I had primarily been on a liquid diet for 3 years, with no end in sight.
After full-time caregiving for 3 years. I lost my girlfriend Pam, to cancer, a year earlier. It was the most traumatic moment in my life. To wake , and see her breathless. She had been so thin, and weak. I watched her suffer excruciating pain for several years.
Words can never describe my love and respect for her. I felt I had failed to keep her healthy. For various reasons, I had also lost contact with the few friends, and family members I occasionally spoke with.
Bottom line, I was sick, sad, dying, and totally alone.
Eventually, one day, I was actually laying in the same spot on the bed where I watched my Pam get weaker every day. I had now moved to her side of the bed, because I was beginning to have difficulty taking those few extra steps to the bathroom. I couldn't avoid imagining all the pain and suffering she endured in the same position I was dying in, myself. The emotional anguish was unbearable. If I was to live on. I had to make sense of why this angelic person had suffered so terribly. My only answer was that it was a matter of fate. She entered my meaningless life, for a reason. And she left as she did, for a reason.
I then realized it wasn't meant to burden me. On the contrary, the experience, was meant to help change my perspective on life.
I felt overwhelmed with gratitude. And I knew I had to develop her courage. While helping others suffering from health issues, as she once did. But first, I had to get healthy. And I knew it required more isolation.
Thus, my mindset is driven by GRATITUDE.
I am grateful for having witnessed her extraordinary strength, ànd ability to be generous to others, while enduring intolerable pain. I decided that I would need to accept pain and suffering, as a necessary component of my fitness routines. I purposely trained to a very high pain level. Although, initially most of the pain came from poor exercise techniques.
I was feeling both pain, and soreness, in all the wrong places. (Joints instead of Muscles). Maybe it was just self imposed punishment. Out of guilt, for not working harder to keep her alive.
Nevertheless, my thought was that.... no pain would be worse than the mental anguish I would suffer, thinking of the pain she tolerated. I'd rather bear the pain of exercising, than dwelling on the pain she endured.
So the first part of my mindset became
PAIN IS NOT A RELEVANT FACTOR
After several weeks of wreckless, painful, and amateurish resistance training sessions. I knew I had to start working smarter. I wasn't doing any walking or running until I first wore my Fitbit in April, nearly a year later. It was all dumbbell, and nautilus resistance training. One day I took a few inhales of indica cannabis to get my body functional. The soreness was causing my body to tighten up. And Tylenol wasn't getting it done.
Anyway, it helped tremendously with easing the tightness. But to my surprise, I was suddenly able to focus on both my joints, and muscles during each exercise. The cannabis allowed me to zero in on using the muscles, instead of the joints. My form improved immediately.
I used it again, and my movements got more fluid, and precise. So I started doing a lot more repetitions. I eventually was doing HIIT training. 500+ reps in under an hour. I had to constantly focus on both form, and pace to be efficient. Every movement became important. And the focus helped with my breathing as well.
Every movement, and breath mattered, as I increased my total repetitions.
At age 65, I know I don't have many ultramarathons left in me. I am an injury away from being permanently sidelined.
So I use every minute wisely. Both during training, and on execution day. I plan every movement to be of top quality.
I am seeking perfect symmetry in my movements. However, I am missing a significant portion of my left shoulder blade. It was used to fully replace my jaw. Hence, the nutrition problems. That's why I use dumbbells and nautilus. And why I was forced to focus on perfect balance, when I started raising the treadmill speed. Lack of focus, at a high speed, while off balance is both stupid, and dangerous.
In ultramarathons, I focus on stride efficiency. I aim to be perfectly balanced.
Letting my arms smoothly push my hips and shoulders in perfect concert.
I try to focus on my forearms, as kind of a steering wheel. Keeping my stride short, quick, precise, and most importantly, consistent. Just like having your hands on the car steering wheel. Balance and symmetry is key. Once you're locked into a comfortable stride that's efficient, and consistent. You execute it without thought. It's cruise control.
You will only need to focus on your forearms moving smoothly in a small space. I only focus on the rhythm of the arms, perfect balance, and breathing. The faster the pace, the more you should be locked into that rhythm. It's critical for speed walking. Thus, the second part of my mindset is
ONLY FOCUS ON PERFECT FORM, BALANCE, AND BREATHING.
Obviously, the less on your mind, the less mental energy you will waste. If you have both planned, and trained properly, you only have to think about executing the plan.
In summary, here is my mindset in a nutshell.
BE GRATEFUL, WHILE YOU FOCUS SOLELY ON BREATHING, BALANCE, AND A PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL STRIDE.
Don't move forward with the burdensome THOUGHTS of your pain, imperfections, or losses.
Only move forward, with the FEELING of gratitude, that you are executing perfection.
This is all interesting. Truly. Where is your book? Your blog?
by the way, i used to run 20 miles in an afternoon. but now i'm 55 lbs overweight. been so since i got married 8 years ago. i'm registered for a marathon july 23, 2023. that's five months. a reasonable goal, i'd say.
Hey guys, never heard of you before but really enjoyed this talk and the juxtaposition of energies here. Can see definitely whose viewpoints I resonate with more and also take a look into the perspective of the intricate nuances of therapy from the "mental health professional" 's perspective. Will be looking into what you guys are building more! Thanks
28:00 mark is what I think is the question about the patient/therapist relationship that needed discussing. Thanks
Incredible Documentary!
We agree!
AEDP is a technique that can show you how sitting with someone in their pain creates new neoropathways of healing
Patient Endurance 🙌🏽
Thanks Stutz ❤
Thanks jonah
I can't help but look at this with a suspicious eye.
Catherine Liu shouted to the heavens as loud as she could about the quaint, reified moral kitsch here.
I'm glad these comfortable, rich, and good-looking people will engage with Stutz, I can't imagine what they'll get out of it.
Watch the documentary, and you might know. You're welcome.
I agree that the mom comments were inappropriate esp Hill bringing it up when his mom was there.
Yeah ...
i wonder how they managed to go halfway through this session without saying anything:))
Mesoaonic boys! Changed my energy…big uplift and thank you….heart felt❤️🩹
Superficial… stop generalizing and have the courage to talk specifics…
85% of therapists are female. One of the best things about Stutz is a male therapist seeing a male client.
