1 00:00:01,233 --> 00:00:02,733 Have you ever wanted to do a job 2 00:00:02,833 --> 00:00:04,066 that really mattered? 3 00:00:04,666 --> 00:00:05,566 In this season, 4 00:00:05,633 --> 00:00:07,433 we look at some big trends 5 00:00:07,633 --> 00:00:08,900 and small steps 6 00:00:08,966 --> 00:00:10,500 that are changing the future of work. 7 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,466 So your job of tomorrow 8 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,866 can help your community 9 00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:15,300 and even the planet. 10 00:00:22,433 --> 00:00:24,200 Marriage and Family Therapy 11 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,933 helps individual clients 12 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,200 and families alike 13 00:00:27,633 --> 00:00:29,966 by understanding all the factors 14 00:00:30,033 --> 00:00:31,466 that lead to the challenges 15 00:00:31,533 --> 00:00:32,733 they are experiencing. 16 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,566 Rather than focusing 17 00:00:34,633 --> 00:00:36,266 on an individual's issues 18 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,600 out of context, 19 00:00:37,966 --> 00:00:39,866 Marriage and Family therapists 20 00:00:40,066 --> 00:00:41,233 work with clients 21 00:00:41,233 --> 00:00:42,433 to connect context 22 00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,133 with systemic solutions. 23 00:00:44,566 --> 00:00:46,400 Marriage and Family therapists 24 00:00:46,766 --> 00:00:49,566 focus on systems and the interplay 25 00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:52,566 of relationships between self and others. 26 00:00:52,966 --> 00:00:55,500 So when proposing solutions, 27 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,433 we go beyond the individual 28 00:00:58,500 --> 00:00:59,800 and also consider 29 00:00:59,866 --> 00:01:01,966 the different relationships that are embedded in 30 00:01:02,266 --> 00:01:03,233 So when we are looking 31 00:01:03,233 --> 00:01:04,433 systemic solutions, 32 00:01:04,433 --> 00:01:07,600 we are looking at the person 33 00:01:07,666 --> 00:01:09,600 in all of their context 34 00:01:09,666 --> 00:01:12,633 So systemic solutions try to lift 35 00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:14,833 as many constraints as possible 36 00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:16,966 and work within the constraints 37 00:01:17,033 --> 00:01:18,233 that are not liftable. 38 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,466 Just as a writer finds inspiration 39 00:01:20,533 --> 00:01:22,266 in a dog eared book of poetry 40 00:01:22,633 --> 00:01:24,500 or mechanic sees the Mona Lisa 41 00:01:24,566 --> 00:01:26,400 under the hood of a Rolls Royce. 42 00:01:27,166 --> 00:01:29,066 A therapist finds purpose 43 00:01:29,133 --> 00:01:31,566 in stories of resilience, growth 44 00:01:31,866 --> 00:01:34,133 and the potential to be better. 45 00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:37,200 If people go to therapy 46 00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:40,000 and gain that self knowledge 47 00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:42,733 and heal from the different trauma 48 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,766 they've experienced, I believe the world 49 00:01:44,833 --> 00:01:46,833 can definitely become a better place. 50 00:01:47,066 --> 00:01:49,300 Therapy may seem like it's 51 00:01:49,366 --> 00:01:51,166 becoming less stigmatized. 52 00:01:52,033 --> 00:01:53,233 But the truth is, 53 00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,233 many cultural communities 54 00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:56,500 are still wary 55 00:01:56,566 --> 00:01:58,133 of seeking mental health care 56 00:01:58,633 --> 00:02:01,800 as an act and as an institution. 57 00:02:02,366 --> 00:02:04,533 People that have been historically marginalized, 58 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,700 that are currently marginalized, have dealt 59 00:02:06,766 --> 00:02:08,566 with a lot of oppression 60 00:02:08,933 --> 00:02:10,333 since the beginning. 61 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,700 So a lot of what's happening 62 00:02:11,766 --> 00:02:13,000 is not new for people. 63 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,100 I think it's potentially more visible 64 00:02:15,166 --> 00:02:16,466 for some people. 65 00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:18,533 That can increase the intensity 66 00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:19,800 of people’s symptoms. 67 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,733 So maybe they had sadness before 68 00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:24,300 or maybe they'd had some anxiety before, 69 00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:26,533 but seeing a lot of the trauma 70 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,766 that's happening constantly, 71 00:02:27,833 --> 00:02:29,100 whether it's on social media 72 00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:30,566 while watching the news 73 00:02:30,633 --> 00:02:31,833 or experiencing 74 00:02:32,066 --> 00:02:34,200 low employment or underemployment or 75 00:02:34,266 --> 00:02:35,433 lack of resources 76 00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:37,100 increases the intensity 77 00:02:37,166 --> 00:02:38,366 of people's symptoms. 78 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,966 And therapy is one of the ways 79 00:02:40,033 --> 00:02:41,400 to help people manage 80 00:02:41,466 --> 00:02:42,833 and regulate some of that. 81 00:02:43,033 --> 00:02:43,900 To learn more, 82
