shit social workers say

[Rhythm825]

As a male in the field I had to learn what emotion is.

[bkylou1]

HAHAHA SO TRUE! XD

[dymangirl88]

OMG. NOt with the DSM lol too funny. Im am so tired of carrying that around campus. This is hilarious. I don't think its stereotypical. Its the truth. It is practically how were taught to dig deeper. You ROCKED this girl.

[emsssssss]

Nice touch with the DSM IV-TR in the background

[lizlasky]

@emsssssss thank you!

[aaraujo1987]

hilarious!!!



[TumblrMissAlice1]

I love that the degree is propped on a DSM. lmao

I am pretty sure I have said like all of this in the past week.

Favorite: "....You have to leave."

[flashmurphy2]

[lizlasky]

@flashmurphy2 Hi there. I hear you. Thanks for the feedback. 

[dymangirl88]

@flashmurphy2 I don't think its stereotypical. Its the truth. It is practically how were taught to dig deeper.

[freddipass]

I like your use of the "miracle question." :)

[lizlasky]

@freddipass Thanks! It's a good questions! :)

[Vindicated85]

I live the copy of the DSM propping up your diploma.

[lizlasky]

[innagoddadavidababy]

LOL loved the ending!!

[lizlasky]

@innagoddadavidababy yay! :)

[ballygar1938]

Love that therapist voice.....Stop it!

[lizlasky]

@ballygar1938 Thank you! It was funny listening to myself! :)

[FunnyCoolMonkey264]

ahhaah I'm just about to embark on my four year degree of BSW and I find this hilarious!

I love how you have a book on DSM-IV-TR holding up your certificate !

[lizlasky]

@FunnyCoolMonkey264 Thank you! Good luck with your degree!

[GraffixWB]

DAMN I'm glad im not a social worker

[lizlasky]

@GraffixWB ME TOO! :)

[bradnorman42]

FYI, they say this stuff cuz it works...

[lizlasky]

@bradnorman42 You bet!

[brifirenze]

I absolutely LOVE this! As an MSW student, it's great to see a social worker in the field who can still laugh about what they're doing! "LCSW....that's right". You should make one about "super" social workers or culturally incompetent social workers. Good job! I'm showing this to my class Saturday lol.

[lizlasky]

@brifirenze Awesome! Thanks you for the feedback! So appreciated.

[anniebee824]

This is amazing!  Great job!

[lizlasky]

@anniebee824 Thank you! 

[ashcmorris]

I'm sitting in Starbucks, writing a community analysis paper on Kozol's "Amazing Grace," wanting to shoot myself in the foot, because it's been one of those social work-y days, and this came at the perfect time! I'm crying and laughing!!

[lizlasky]

@ashcmorris HA! I'm glad we could provide some comedic relief! Good luck with your paper!

[TaGiLa80]

Your "Social Work" voice is absolute perfection!

[lizlasky]

@TaGiLa80 Thanks :)

[TaGiLa80]

I've seen this about 10 times today and am still laughing. Forwarded to all my SW peeps from McGill U in Montreal!

[lizlasky]

@TaGiLa80 YAY! Lots of love to my fellow Canucks. Oh, Canada!

[bradnorman42]

I will be showing this to my Clinical Supervision class tomorrow!

[lizlasky]

@bradnorman42 Awesome! Let me know how if they like it! :)

[bradnorman42]

@lizlasky They absolutely loved it. Made me show it twice.

[Alouette1968]

Aaaaaand this is why I'm a macro policy focus! :-) Megabrill video :-)

[lizlasky]

@Alouette1968 Thanks. Totally stealing your phrase "megabrill". Love it!

[Alouette1968]

@lizlasky It's "Fireman Sam's" fault. ;-)

[pepsikun]

All MSW students must watch this... very insightful. =)

[lizlasky]

@pepsikun Ha! Well, that could be up for discussion! :)

[taskejian]

at the USC School of Social Work... your video is spreading. Thanks for the laughs!

[lizlasky]

@taskejian Alright! LOVE TO MY PEEPS AT USC!

[kan7i15a23]

Haha way to represent us social workers out there. We work freakin hard and put up with crazy people.

[lizlasky]

@kan7i15a23 In my opinion, it's the best job in the world! :)

[drglenndoyle]

I'm a psychologist-- and I think I love you. ;)

[lizlasky]

@drglenndoyle Awww, a youtube romance! Right back atcha! :)

[allenrw3]

Awesome stuff, my wife (the LBSW) and i love it!

[lizlasky]

@allenrw3 Thanks to you and mrs! :)

[alexroselle]

I was wondering when someone would make a social work video for this meme. And you made it happen, yay! By this time tomorrow, just about everyone at the School of Social Work at the University of Texas will have seen this.

Oh and I'm not an LCSW (yet?) but have said every one of these things to clients at least once a day. Except maybe for the panda finger puppets. That's just pure comedy genius!

[lizlasky]

@alexroselle YES! Lots of love to SSW at UT! Email me through my website or twitter (lizlasky). I'd love to chat with you. lizlasky dot com

[wickednitsch]

Hilarious... and embarrassing all at the same time.

<--- Have said many of those things... multiple times a day in multiple sessions. :)

[lizlasky]

@wickednitsch me too!  :)

[GeoffreyDinosaurs]

Before this day is over, everyone at the Silver School of Social Work at NYU will have seen this. you are a credit to the profession!

[lizlasky]

@GeoffreyDinosaurs YES! Huge shout out to my peeps at NYU! Social Workers can have fun too, right??

[andreaks5]

stop you are hilarious. i <3 you.

[lizlasky]

@andreaks5 :) Thanks babe. xo!

[doctorheidi]

This is really great, very funny, I loved it. If I had to wake up tomorrow morning and everything was perfect, I would watch this again. Thanks Liz Lasky!

[lizlasky]

@doctorheidi Thanks Heidi! I'm pretty sure we can make that happen!

[KERISE1]
