Stutz: the psychiatrist who with his “method” helps to live again

You will ask yourself who is phil stutz Dr. Phil Stutz is a American psychiatrist with a curriculum that supports it: he graduated from City College, then received his doctorate from New York University and completed his training in psychiatry at the Metropolitan Hospital.

Stutz is one of the best-known psychiatrists in Hollywood.In fact, many executives, producers, artists, writers, and actors have come to his office for therapy and face their creative blocks, fears, stress, anxiety, jealousy… and have managed to take a step in favor of balancing their mental health.

He is a psychiatrist who with his revolutionary “method” offers effective solutions for overcome the problems that block us. For this innovative, close and groundbreaking psychiatrist, the problems are not insurmountable, and he provides tools so that each person can be an active protagonist of his own personal transformation.

Together with Barry Michaels, Stutz published The Tools Method (Peninsula ed.). In this international best-seller, presented as “Five tools that will help you find the courage, creativity and willpower to push your life forward”, the psychiatrist addresses his proposal to gain courage, improve communication and develop creativityand thereby put an end to the limiting obstacles of life.

The Stutz Method to work the vital force

Stutz is not one of those psychiatrists who listens to his patients and avoids prying into their lives. Stutz tells his patients exactly what to do, he suggests work what he calls ‘the life force’a proposal that is inspired by the Maslow’s pyramid with a hierarchy of needs.

Protect the body. At the base, the first point of approach, is the body. The first thing Stutz recommends to his patients is eat well, exercise, sleep And do not think about anything else. That is the absolute priority. The results, as the psychiatrist recounts in the Netflix documentary, are clearly seen soon and this more favorable state makes the patient see progress that encourages him to continue in his change. Social contact. In a second link of the pyramid is social contact, which Stutz considers as a handhold that brings you back to life. The proposal is to meet a friend for coffee, to spend a while, even if what you feel like when you’re down, depressed, is just to isolate yourself and separate yourself from people. Gradually recovering the social circle It is a way of holding on, of anchoring yourself again, of feeling tucked in and feeling the desire to socialize again. Focus on yourself. This is the third link in the Stutz pyramid and is addressed when the patient is already physically well and his social life has been reactivated; then it’s time to connect with yourself and one way to do it that the psychiatrist proposes is through writingwhich reveals to us what is hidden inside us, a powerful tool of self knowledge.

Stutz’s secret that tells in the Netflix documentary

With this documentary, actor Johan Hill pays tribute to Stutz, the psychiatrist who has been able to accompany him to get to know himself better and manage his problems. Although, in many moments, the roles seem to be interchanged and it is the therapist who tells us about his struggle with Parkinson’s disease that he suffers, or about the difficult relationship with his mother and how he deals with his sentimental relationship.

Both patient and therapist, with naturalness, crudeness and humor, open up and completely undress. There is a moment in which both establish a special connection when talking about the premature loss of their respective siblingssomething that, without a doubt, has marked them both.

Get out of the maze… or not get stuck in the past

If he Stutz’s three rung method (taking care of the body, socializing and focusing on oneself) is effective and helps to work our vital force, the psychiatrist reminds us that there is something that we all have to fight, which he calls “Part Xand what does it have to do with what we are not able to face, that we are not capable of doing and that we are usually afraid to visualize. There is no other way than to accept that you have to live with it, says Stutz, forever, and that it may appear continuously over time. It’s like it’s a maze that keeps us trapped in the pastwhich reveals guilt, remorse, discomfort.

“Happiness is not an achievement. happiness is a process. One of the most important parts of that process is defending yourself against “Part X.”says Stutz, who invites to bring out the positive and expresses what is the key to feeling better, happier, in a provocative way: “Don’t be stupid, do something no matter how scared you are”.

The lifestyle that cares for mental health

Netflix Psychiatrist Says 85% of Early Therapy Successes Are Due to Lifestyle Changes Like Exercising, Eating a Balanced Diet, and Getting Good Sleep.

Says a surprised Hill in the Netflix movie: “As a kid, exercise and diet were framed for me as, ‘there’s something wrong with your appearance.’ But they never proposed to me exercise or diet in terms of mental health. She just wishes she would present herself to people differently. Because for me, that caused a lot of problems.”.

Faced with an approach focused on psychiatry based only on pharmacology, the strategy of addressing the lifestyle medicine breaks barriers and provides a new approach that seeks to give the body and mind all the “nutrients” they need to regain balance and strength.
