Daniel Mackler: Ex-Psychotherapist From NYC

2 posts in this topic

I've found Daniel to be exceptional in his insight to therapeutic practice. He's not afraid to share from direct experience, free-think, go outside the bounds of the red-tape in the industry, and really care for his clients.

Some great points in his work:

  • Seeing patients as people
  • Highlighting the negatives of strongly encouraging therapists to push their patients to psychiatric drugs
  • Highligting issues with the therapist/patient power dynamic

Interesting, I just found his channel a few days ago too and thought about sharing it. He has a very grounded perspective on things and I see a lot of intelligence in the way he expresses himself. 


“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

― Charles Bukowski
