I am currently in school to get a degree in psychology and I am so thankful I found your videos! They are wonderful for helping summarize the topics in personality theory and help me gain a clearer understanding. Thank you for such helpful and interesting videos!

[Pattypollon]

Studying at a doctoral level and your videos are real pearls. ❤

[thinker]

Such calm and clear communication. Thank you.

I mainly focused on cluster B issues throughout my education; having a child, however, has made me re-focus on early development, and it is very interesting breaking down the reasons why people deviate from "healthy development" in childhood towards, more neurotic tendencies, and other issues regarding personality. I'm big on Carl Jung's being a huge factor in person's long-term development. Everything I have learned, leads me to believe the earliest interactions (consistency by caretakers, especially the first 1-3 years of development), balanced levels of attention, freedom for the child to explore safely without parental rejection for doing so - lead to the kind of secure attachment, sense of self, that is critical for healthy development (animals or people). Great video, great flow to it, you really know your stuff! I'll probably watch this a few more times, thank you!

This video is awesome. Thank you! Also, I really like the way that you say "Freud" haha.

Understanding this was the final peace in my healing, after several diagnosis of issues that will be considered by most even professionals to be moderate-severe. I had read about it years ago to fix myself, but it never clicked till the end despite knowing the 'facts' and how it works.

[kelley]

Amazing presentational. What a great teacher you are. I am licensed many years but have never heard such a great breakdown of object relationship

[luisbenedito]

Please, do continue with your videos on psychodynamics, it’s really important work and I am really happy that people are still explaining the richness of psychodynamic theories

[ChannelEddd]

Vielen Dank für die kompakte und inspirierende Einführung. Die Darstellung des Inhaltes hat, meiner Meinung nach, eine weit überdurchschnittliche Qualität und Ästhetik (für YouTube). Ich habe viel neues gelernt und einiges endlich verstanden. Die Einführung hat mir Lust auf mehr deiner Videos und das Thema gemacht. Besonders hat mir auch Deine spürbare Begeisterung zu dem Thema zu sprechen gefallen.

[grahamegee]

Enjoying your latest. Recently finished Kernberg's Borderline Conditions and Pathological Narcissism which increased my understanding of borderline conditions. I also got a couple of Horney's books based on a previous video of yours which I have found very useful.

[notimportant]

Great video thanks, your voice is so calming btw

[Razzle]

Thank you for simplifying these concepts! As someone who is more adept at CBT, these psychodynamic concepts were hard to wrap my brain around but you summarized it easily. Thanks again!

[Aspsychotherapy]

This was so helpful! Especially the introduction, just paved the way for the entire video. Missed your videos, so glad you are back! :)

[tomprovan]

much clearer set of statements than many videos

[vasishtapolisetty]

Thank you. Such a pleasant and calm voice

[tugbasabanoglu]

It was an incredible video which explains a very broad topic in nineteen minute. Thank you very much to give an idea about object relations theories.
