Critical Thinking – the GATEKEEPER
  • Why is critical thinking important in client sessions?
  • Assessing your client’s ability to think critically
  • Impact of reality TV (RTV) and social media (SM) on critical thinking for our clients
  • Impact of decreased critical thinking in education
Reality TV’s Overall Impact & Social Media Daily Usage on:

  • Teenage attention span
  • Emotional centers of the brain
  • Increased hypervigilance from constant primitive arousal
Impact on Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia and Addiction
  • Addiction to social media and reality tv
  • Decreased Self-Esteem and Self-Image
  • FOMO
  • Biological reasons for insomnia connected to RTV and social media
  • Case Study: "Steve’s story, 18 y/o – excessive brain fog, vision issues"
Help Clients Through the Weeds of Real vs. Virtual
  • RTV and SM create reality - clients can’t often decipher the real from the scripted unreal
  • Grounding lessons, CBT interventions
  • Understand the importance of perspective of clients; this is their world
  • Hold authority while diplomatically engaging client
  • Assert your professionalism without alienating client
  • Case Study: 21 y/o self-diagnosed BPD. She’d taken online test and had symptoms of RTV personality
Prepackaged Diagnosis & Watering Down of Therapy
  • Eliminate harmful inaccurate depictions of mental health in pop culture
  • Assert your professionalism without alienating the client
  • How RTV and SM decrease intelligence and water down professionalism
  • Distorting effects and narrowing perspectives caused by RTV and SM decrease legitimacy of professionals
  • Case Study: "Sandra’s story, 19 y/o – the client who came to the intake session with her own diagnosis because she read it online"
Durable Interventions to Increase Critical Thinking
  • Psychoeducation – readiness to absorb interventions with active listening
  • Examining – model interventions in session – CBT, EFT, relaxation techniques
  • Assessing – help client make connections with past behavior and new information = internal recognition
  • Discernment – change thought pattern with new intervention (neuroplasticity for lasting change)
  • Specific skill sets to target gen y and z, who have grown up with RTV and SM
  • Relearn relationship with RVT, SM, and other mediums
  • Anxiety and depression reduction for those with compromised critical thinking
  • Strategies for eating disorders, body dysmorphia and other maladaptive behaviors

  4. Develop the ability to think critically and understand the impact on your clients and their attempt at life skills.
  5. Investigate the long-term effects of years overloaded with false narratives posed by reality tv.
  6. Evaluate the impact of reality TV and social media on client’s well-being and implement effective critical thinking interventions.
