Hi Steph! I'm a newer faculty with NCU's MFT Doctoral Programs and you're a bit of a legend here...I thought I'd take a moment to check out what all the buzz is about, and sure enough, your reputation precedes you. This is quality stuff and I LOVE that you're creating these free resources for folks interested in MFT--and doing so in such a fresh, engaging manner. Appreciate the work you're doing--keep doin' work! 💪
❤ YES, thank you so much. Your overviews have been SUPER helpful with understanding the different theories. Can you please share the difference between the broader view of General Systems/Cybernetics?
I'm a counselling student. I've been watching your videos directly after reading the chapter on each corresponding topic in my text book. It's been hugely helpful for me to gain a full understanding. I appreciate your efforts greatly.
I just had to come and tell you that because of the information you put in your video, I was able to grasp and apply and PASS my MFT national exam. I had two weeks to go and was growing very frustrated because I didn't feel like I was getting anything and then I came across your videos and I felt like a lightbulb went off in my head. I just want to say Thank you so much and GOD Bless you in everything you are doing.
I just started my Masters in Social Work and needed help really understanding some theories I am currently learning. Your video has helped me tremendously and it is so easy to understand! I appreciate your channel. Thank you for sharing.
I am studying for my licensing exam as a psychologist, and I have been struggling with the family therapy questions on my practice exams. I've had pretty limited contact with family therapy models, and the descriptions I have been prepping with are super bland. The videos in this series are SO helpful - you make the theories come to life. I'm definitely going to be doing some more reading to further explore this world... once I've recovered from this exam hah
This was such a clear description of the theory. I really appreciated how you put it in the context of classical v. post-modern and shared the strengths and challenges based on our current understanding of culture and family.
This has been so helpful with allowing me to really understand this form of therapy, as well as other forms of family therapy as I’m studying for my LMSW exam - thank you for this!
Hi there! I am a fellow vlogger but also an online student at GCU working toward a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Being online doesn't afford the benefit of a human lecturer. So this video overview was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
I'm studying for my LMFTA licensing exam right now and I'm so thankful you created these videos!!! The perfect audio and visual supplement to my studying. Thank you for caring enough to share about these models so thoroughly!!
You describe your therapist and behaviorist with concrete descriptions...I'm 59 half going for my license...got my degrees in my late 40s....opportunity knocks....and thank you for being so descriptive unlike some other on u tube....
Hi Stephanie. I cannot stop sing your praises for the work you are doing by helping me to understand these theories in such a simple and profound way. Thank s for all that u do. I have been searching but did not see your work on Collaborative Language Systems Therapy.
Amazing presentation on this model! I really appreciate your delivery style and the way you organize the information so that it's easily comprehended. I am definitely a new but ongoing subscriber. Thank you!
this was incredible! I enjoyed how clear and concise the presentation of this model was. I got a good idea of what this is about after having watched this. Also, background music= middle eastern bazaar vibes.
Thank you for this quick overview of Structural Family Therapy. I'm currently an MMFT grad student and I feel like I just don't get a lot of the family systems theories. I watch your videos a lot and they have helped immensely!
Hey Steph Anya. I love, love, love your videos! They are super helpful for my understanding of essential concepts I am learning about in my Master's program. I wanted to reach out to you because I've noticed that some of your videos have background music going while you are talking. For those of us who struggle with hearing loss, background music can make it really difficult to follow what is being said, even when captions are available. Listening fatigue kicks in as one strives to follow and fully understand the words that are heard and read THROUGH the additional noises going on at the same time. I wouldn't want to miss out on all that you could teach me due to this issue. So, I just thought I'd bring it to your attention and hope for the best. As always, thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!
Thank you so much for the explanation, I am a student of an MSW program and the reading did not help me much but you where able to clarify for me the structures.
I really connected to you and your content. This information has easily understood and you had great energy. I can tell that you’re passionate about helping others and I love it ! I’m a new subscriber
Thank you so much for helping me to understand structural family therapy I am in my third year with the open uni and doing an assignment on multi-systemic therapies and your video really really helped me so thank you xxx
Steph Anya! I found, loved, and subscribed to your videos a few weeks ago before I started my MFT program, and whaddayaknow, my program recommends watching your videos as part of the curriculum!
I greatly appreciate your knowledge as well as your insight on how the family structure was handled during the 1960's-1970's year period....I don't exactly know if it went over my head but during this period the man of the household was primarily a Veteran who served in the Armed Forces during the Korean War as well as The Vietnam War era.....Those individuals suffered a tremendous amount of PTSD which affected the infrastructure of the common, American household...just to make a note of that my dear.
What a great channel! I am a current (beginning) MFT student and loving having you and videos as a resource, Steph! Thank you for producing this content.
Your videos are extremely helpful! I love how they are full of information, but also short and concise. I learn so much more when I don't feel the need to nod off (LOL).
This video has been extremely helpful! As an MFT graduate student about to start her internship next week, this was such a great refresher. Thank just so much! 💗💗
Hey Steph Anya! Now I definitely fall under the "utilizing therapy to create my best life" group. Meaning I am not a therapist by any means. HOWEVER your breakdown was still simple enough for me to feel comfortable using the different techniques to better my family relationship. Thank you! Keep it up!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! My textbook was so vague about this therapy and your video really helped me to understand this approach!
Im currently in graduate school to become a marriage and family therapist. I really enjoy courses and I have a bachelors degree in psychology. I feel like becoming a LMFT is the right career choice for me.
You are awesome 👏 and knowledgeable. Clear concise examples were given. This really helps me with understanding theories better. This will help with my test. Thank you
Steph! I am an MFT Trainee and it has definitely been harder to grasp the models. This first video of yours has given me hope that I can understand. THANK YOU! On to the other videos!
Systematic couples and family therapy is the right direction for me .., I love to listen to people’s problems and come up with solutions but more importantly the listening part
Thanks for doing this video. I am rewatching it but it feels like I am watching it for the first time. This model is the one that always gets me and on the practice tests I've done I always struggle with this one and strategic. I'll be taking my AMFTRB exam next week so this video along with the other resources I am using, is helpful.
Great information. Taking on the journey just move to Georgia I am walking into a whole new world but I am seeing the connection as an educator to become a therapist.
I'm currently writing up my final paper for my PSY 4260 Family Therapy Dynamics course and needed a brief review of the Structural Model. Your video was absolutely perfect. Thank you for the great content!!
I am about to enter my second year at NCU and your channel has been such a valuable resource!! Thank you so much for these videos! I also enjoyed your Love Is Blind 3 analyses :) Thanks for all you do!
@@StephAnya I just wanted to loop back around and let you know ya girl PASSED! We have another black therapist among us. Your videos totally helped because this stuff was on the test.
Love your videos! SO, SO helpful! Any chance you can make one on experiential therapy? We are covering this theory this week in class, it was not an in depth look or review of the theory and I'd like to see your explanation. I learn so much from your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge/understanding, and experience!
I love that last part. My family needs a restructure technique haha I’m the quietest/closed one. Black sheep emotionally it’ll be crazy to see everything unbalance
Update: I am in my second semester of the graduate family therapy program taking the MFT Theories course. I am back on this video to review your breakdown on this theory :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love the way you present and teach, it made things so much easier for me to understand and helped me with my assignment! Definitely subscribing. Have you ever considered a job in teaching psychology??
Could you do a video on Milanic Family System approach? I am studying for the NCE and this is one of the models o that could potentially be on the exam. I have found your videos so helpful in understanding application of these different theories.
Hi, Melissa! This video is coming up next. Are you comfortable having this request displayed in the video with your name? No problem if not! Please let me know.
I literally just started studying structural family therapy today lol love your videos!
So happy to hear that! I was wondering if anyone would find it helpful haha. Thanks for letting me know ♥️
