A very interesting and informative interview of Dr. Les Greenberg, revealing his background and basis of Emotion-Focused Psychotherapy often with a richly personal flavour, which fits well given his humanistic brand of psychotherapy. (Either Dr. Greenberg was in a positive and open mood, or Daniel encouraged him to open up --likely both.)
Dr. Greenberg has contributed immensely to the field of psychotherapy, and is a wonderful person -- an international and Canadian/South African treasure.
I appreciate this and I agree. Glad you found it enjoyable
A huge thank you for this interview ! I am currently studying his points of view and it was really nice to be able to discover his personal self in such a nice way. I like his person very much.
So glad to hear this! Yes, I found getting to know him and his background shed so much light on his theory and way of thinking. He is very personable :)
Thank you very much for this video Daniel! Such a nice way to learn more about Leslie's journey and many new insights about EFT (I've been working as an EFT therapist for a while). You create a very nice atmosphere in this interview and I feel you manage to go far below the surface in terms of honesty, integrity and more. Very nice - thank you - and all the best!
Thank you very much, Kristoffer. I appreciate your kind comment. Very glad you enjoyed the interview and it was a nice addition to your work as an EFT therapist.
I think he's calm because hes clearly always been highly intelligent. He knows his stuff. I think whats unqiue about him is that he has a highly scientific mind but hes clearly also highly relational...a unique combination!
Sue johnson says you need to be attuned and you need a map! You need to know where you're going and you need to move at the pace of the client. If you get ahead of the client, they'll show you. If you get lost, go back to when you last knew where you were (in your process).
I agree! We need more people like him in the field
Great interview. I learned so much in this interview added with the literature of EFT.
Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the great interview and for the opportunity to watch it on CZcams!
I would have loved to hear his views on CBT in more depth. I get that he sees it as simplistic and he also has a different viewpoint in so far as he doesn't think of change as replacing some kind of experiencing with another kind but rather as a transformation / synthesis, but I think there is more to be said ablut criticisms of CBT, and what the dictatorial aspects were at the time that he talks about.
Still, an excellent interview. Thank you very much!
Thank you! I agree with you. Looking back, i wish i had pushed him a little more in that area and had him give a more detailed critique of CBT. I think CBT has a lot to offer a lot of people, and i wonder if he holds that opinion and if so, how far.
Excellent, thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed
thanks for the video Daniel!
I’m happy to hear you appreciate it!
Great interview! Some unexpected questions at the end, haha!
I have read at least three of Greenberg's books but have not found many interviews with him. It was interesting to hear how he developed EFT and reassuring to learn that I am not alone in my thoughts about cognitive therapy. Like Greenberg, I also initially liked Glass' Reality Therapy but dropped it after a while.
Thank you! Haha I thought I would mix things up a little.
I am happy to hear you enjoyed the interview! It really is nice getting to hear from him on how he views his work and CBT. Is EFT a modality you are finding useful for you? I would still like to read Glass’ Reality Therapy to pick out whatever there is valuable :)
@@daniel.t.bourne Yes, I am finding it EFT very useful indeed.
I noted that some reviewers have found his books not easy to read, but that in no way diminishes the validity of his arguments or his proposed approach. Once a person really gets what he is saying, it makes so much sense and is very applicable in the therapy room! I am so glad he is a prolific researcher as well, so we can be assured that there is substantial empirical backing to this method of therapy.
Yuval harari
Are you suggesting i interview Yuval Harari?
At 1:12:13, is he says that his new book is or is not a good book to start off with?
He says his new book, changing emotion with emotion, is more advanced and not necessarily a good book to start out with.
@@daniel.t.bourne Thank you for the clarification, and solid interview!
@@justinwilson1613 you’re most welcome! And very glad you enjoyed it
