I really enjoyed, but when you said about the giggle, what perceptive you are talking about?

I asked my therapist about this, . I asked, if my mother came to you and told you about her sensitive, paranoid, emotional, dramatic daughter (everything that my mother thinks I am) would you be as kind to her as you are to me? My therapist was very kind to me and very validating and it made me wonder. Do I deserve to be validated? Do some people go to therapy looking for validation and end up being challenged instead? (i didn't feel that that was my experience.)

Beloved what does challenge means? it certainly doesn't mean that you insult or presume. I think it should only ever be positive such as if the person insist they are worthless, you may then challenge this. i had a client once who felt she did not achieve anything in her life. Her partner was always telling her she was nothing. I challenge this by pointing out all the things that showed her achievements. Sadly some people use challenge in a negative way, this will never heal anyone,

I realise this is a year old, but I wanted to point out the differences in volume. They make it a little uncomfortable to listen. If I increase the volume it makes one too loud, but if I decrease the volume it makes it difficult to hear the other. I hope this has been fixed in your newer videos.

What about the client challenging the therapist because I've had to do it over many things like the phone ringing numerous in session. Constant pings on the computer. I'm sent to the wrong office, and I see her cars not there, so I have to text to ask, am I supposed to stay where my reminder said to go. She does, says things that r not right and maybe someone else's info too, which has been triggering. And so much more. She usually gets defensive or laughs it off.

Way too much talking and not enough advice. All your content is too much talk and not enough meat.
