Sarah #36:\u00a0The Scooby-Doo Effect: Catching Up With Yourself","description":" Sarah keeps learning and exploring in therapy \u2013 and her family is noticing the change in her and the progress she\u2019s made as a result. Doug explains how and why he uses stories and analogies so often in sessions. It\u2019s an effective way to make a concept less clinical and more relatable and memorable for clients. He names a sensation for Sarah, \u201cThe Scooby-Doo Effect,\u201d when the cartoon bodies get scared out of their skins then later join back together. This helps highlight the concept of how Sarah is now catching up with herself after being in a heightened cortisol state of fight or flight to get through an event or experience. From this place, Sarah can take stock of what she just went through and process it.  &amp;nbsp;   Doug\u2019s Group Therapy Practice  YMB Webpage &amp;nbsp; Join Us on Social Media:&amp;nbsp; YMB&amp;nbsp;The Facebook Group YMB on&amp;nbsp;Instagram YMB on&amp;nbsp;TikTok ","author_name":"Your Mental Breakdown","author_url":"http:\/\/www.yourmentalbreakdown.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/29848158\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/cc6ba9\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/29848158"}
