I have often wondered about therapy blogs and their true purpose or rationale as we would call it. Are they for leasure or as a supplemental tool for clients... or just the benefit of all who read? How much is too personal or too professional? after all we do want to connect... and how do they influence the actual therapeutic relationship and perceptions from the public or potential clients? Anyway thanks for the thought provoking post as they stimulate my growth as a new clinician and blogger.Linda Galihttp://www.galitherapy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391563.post-66417252807697224432012-10-18T22:26:28.443-07:002012-10-18T22:26:28.443-07:00Yes!

By writing down what is going on in your life and reading it, you get a moment to reflect on these things and actually remove yourself from the situation. This means that you are coping in your emotional stress.Therapy Websiteshttp://therapist-websites.websyourway.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391563.post-48686663266707510382012-09-09T18:32:16.846-07:002012-09-09T18:32:16.846-07:00You had written a lot of information and knowledge...You had written a lot of information and knowledge about this.

I'd really like to take it to the next level.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Shock: Thank you also fror the comments (and the referral on your recent post). I am flattered.<BR/><BR/>My therapy definately gets enhanced in many ways by using my blog. <BR/><BR/>From the mundane...e.g. Sometimes I cannot actually say (speak) about what is going on for feeling guilty, or ashamed...but I can hand Dr X. a printout of what I wrote about that topic on my blog...this opens the door to communicating about things I might never speak up about.<BR/><BR/>It allows me to reflect deeper on what happened in my sessions. Again I often use my posts as a jumping point for what I discuss in my next session.<BR/><BR/>I agree that for a blog to really be utilized in therapy Privacy needs to be guaranteed, so a co-blog would have to be completely private between therapist and patient (although I would so love to read co-blogs written by other people and there therqpists). I find therapy fascinating. <BR/><BR/>Re: Irvin Yalom. I absolutely love how he thinks. I believe his style is very similar to Dr. X's. Existential Psychotherapy is really the cornerstone of how I try to use my sessions. The philosophy behind this type of therapy really reaches my soul.<BR/><BR/>It was not co-blogging between patient and therapist that Yalom spoke of, it was old fashioned writing with each of them writing in journals. I first read about it in his textbook "Existential Psychotherapy" (I love that book and have read it numerous times), but he and the patient turned the journals into a book called "Everyday Gets a Little Closer"...heres a link to the summary http://www.yalom.com/edgcsummary.html<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>...aquaAquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230285017033299419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391563.post-21298259559780482062008-04-10T11:53:00.000-07:002008-04-10T11:53:00.000-07:00I think this what you wrote is the essence of psyc...I think this what you wrote is the essence of psychodynamic psychotherapy: To me, what happens between Dr. X. and I; the feelings while we discuss something, my reactions to him etc. are like a microcosm of my feelings and reactions to people in the outside world. Our interactions replicate difficulties in my life. This is super important for me to recognize and work through. My blog assists me with this.<BR/><BR/>The question is does that also happen or does it get enhanced by a blog therapy.<BR/>Practically I think you need a private blog for co-blogging.<BR/><BR/>I am a great fan of Yalom, were did you find this information about using the blog in therapy by Yalom?<BR/><BR/>I think you just wrote a magnificent post on the topic of blog therapy, a classic, take care Dr ShockDr. Shockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372987090860490834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391563.post-46778288574397620612008-04-09T14:32:00.000-07:002008-04-09T14:32:00.000-07:00Wow, you have certainly given this a LOT of though...Wow, you have certainly given this a LOT of thought.<BR/><BR/>I think a co-blog would be a great idea, if your pdoc is open to the suggestion and agrees to do it.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear more about how this will go for you.<BR/><BR/>I do agree, that a blog is a great place for preparation of a therapy session as well as a place for reflection after a session. This is probably what Imostly do with my blog.Polar Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042280087446534146noreply@blogger.com
