This format is not good. . . you do most of the talking. .

You don't know these people. . You seem to have a preset list of scenarios that you draw from. . . the man is clearly not getting it. . His body language would tell you that, but you can't see him.

A good therapist really watches and really listens.

Women tend to like the talk, but men are harder to reach that way. . . Women are so into Dr. Phil, but most men know he is an ass.

[stefbot]

OK, so nothing about the actual feedback.

[citizenkong]

the joke about molesting stuffed animals was not good.

[citizenkong]

this was hard to watch

[stefbot]

Why?

[citizenkong]

I realize that you are trying to be entertaining, but couples therapy is a serious thing.

You seem rather flippant.

Just having you on camera and not seeing the couple adds to the discomfort.

How do you know if both the man and woman are engaged in your dialog if you can't see them?

Dr. Phil and all the rest that use psychology as a form of entertainment are only hurting the profession.

[stefbot]

Do you think that I gave them bad feedback?

Parts of that conversation sounded like you were trying to squeeze toothpaste out of a collapsed tube. I suppose therapy/counseling is made up of a lot of that.

[leitermann]

That was great, maybe I could use a little talk like that.

Prety cool that you're bringing the personal listener conversations to youtube...

Every one of these conversations always has it's answer in the same fundamental principles:

* curiosity

* empathy

* integrity

* courage

It's amazing and sad to me, that core human capacities such as these are things that need so much remediation in this society.

These are things we should all grow up with. Yet, we all act like we're learning a foreign language in the face of these aspects of the human mind.

It's good to know there is someone out here who's at least trying to fix this...

@gmgauthi amen

[supercoolkid83]

what are you wearing stef, you cool dude!

[cosmanthony21]

Microsoft Technet, was that move toward the camera a subtle advertisement?

[stefbot]

No, just confirmation that I am a recovering geek...

[cosmanthony21]

I dunno man.

[stefbot]

Haha, a sweatshirt I threw on because I had spilled some coffee on my T-shirt! :)
