The Secret Ingredient to Becoming the Best of the Best

[Music] I'm Dr Brent gray for 30 years I've been the director of Spanish River Counseling Center in Boca Raton Florida with the client load that we we have I don't think there's anything that we don't see every therapist that we bring on has a unique skill set and none of the rest of us do have we're always still in the captain with the best of the

best the primary pain points I think for any therapist is helping the client articulate exactly what it is that they want to address when they come into therapy often it's General it's too generic and the problems they present is usually a lot the problem that we'll end up you know getting to so for us it's absolutely Paramount that we do a phenomenal intake process with every

client that comes in the work that you want to do to attain your goals is going to require your best brain going forward so if there's anything that we're missing there and then asking you to do work on top of it or asking to find Mount Kilimanjaro client comes in who was a cheerleader at a major university she was lightweight on the squad so she was

on the top she took a fall onto her head probably six months prior to come in to see me she couldn't read she was having panic attacks she was weeping she had blurry vision on one of her eyes and then been to all these doctors and quite frankly you know it angered me it frustrated me and I and I said there's got to be something more

so she was my first referral referring clients named clinics is about the easiest thing he could possibly do payment plans are so generous with their resources everything's right there online what I like about the stands is it's so de-shaming it's not you it's your brain and we have options now that we can Target treat this area of your brain that is causing the symptoms that you're

presenting with and the anxiety starts to go down so we soldered on the program and today you know she graduated she's got a PhD and she's the director of a addictions clinic in North Florida and she's in her late 20s change in therapy happens outside the office so we identify help them identify that we prescribe what the work's going to be outside the office and asking

clients to do that work which isn't easy to begin with if they've got a brain issue going on known or unknown again it's going to be asking them to do too much so we need to get the physical aligned to get there give them the energy and the focus and passion necessary for them to accomplish work that has to get done three sir goats [Music]
