Why Talk Therapy Doesn't Work

Great videos!!! Are you still active on the Kiloby Membership? I was there for over a year and the tools and the encouragement with the classes, etc. were great; however, the way Scott moved was troubling to me (yelling at Darby because she was repressed, promising people who spent thousands on facilitator training that they would have free membership for life then changing that after they pain,, the way EVERYTHING was put down to emotional repression, the way any complaints about Scott and Dan or KI (including valid complaints) were put back on the person as the person's issue due to emotional repression, the way even if someone had a great day it was pathologized and they were asked "but what were you repressing." .I am grateful for the work I did there and how I learned to feel safe in my body, feel all the emotions, etc. but left as it gave me cult vibes, dysfunction vibes, and I don't feel comfortable recommending KI Membership to anyone. I will recommend you however as I have watched many of your videos and you seem to have really seen the forest through the trees!

Tell me you don't understand talk therapy without telling me you don't understand talk therapy. It is offensive how absurd your suggestion talk therapy stays on the intellectual is- you use the term unconscious and other counselling/therapy terms to explain your theory. Yet somehow missunderstand that intellectualisation is in itself a defense mechanism pointed out way back in 1960 and before. Intellectualisation does not help work through emotional issues, insight also is not enough, awareness is only part of talk therapy. Rationalisation is another defense pointed out in the mechanisms of defense by Anna frued and other theorists over 80 years ago. You do understand gestalt therapy works directly with the body and uses the idea of incomplete gestalts (unfinished business) which to work with bringing the emotions into immediacy and embodying them. Beyond awareness gestalt seeks to develop the ability choose rather than react to stimuli. Also your view on alcoholism that an alcoholic could begin to just "drink every other day" as they move to recovery is actually disgusting, it's repulsive and so amazingly ignorant of what alcoholism is that I genuinely believe you have bad intentions. Either that or you are willingly ignorant of what therapy is, what alcoholism is and what human defense mechanisms are. "If you want a hand I work one on one" hahaha 😂 you are literally advocating for working on unconscious material as if you are an analyst WITHOUT the qualifications. What a joke
