123. Sarah #36: The Scooby-Doo Effect: Catching Up With Yourself

Sarah keeps learning and exploring in therapy – and her family is noticing the change in her and the progress she's made as a result. Doug explains how and why he uses stories and analogies so often in sessions. It's an effective way to make a concept less clinical and more relatable and memorable for clients. He names a sensation for Sarah, "The Scooby-Doo Effect," 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.
