As an unexpert observer it made me uncomfortable when Dr. K suggested Byron's life purpose was to create Everland (an online computer game). It seemed risky to encourage a suicidal person to put all of their eggs into a basket that was likely to fail. Maybe it was the correct move though and seriously troubled people just need any light on the horizon.
That said I generally appreciate his content, even if it's a bit formulaic/Tony Robbins-esque (who I also like):
1. Casual smallchat with someone, expertly sniffing out any trauma they might have.
2. Expose the trauma, causing strong emotional reactions in the participants and the audience.
3. Offer general advice, some practical and some spiritual. Reject bullshit excuses from the participant.
4. Everyone feels positive from picturing a brighter future/getting something off their chest.
Is this a similar format to 1:1 therapy?
