Prior to seeing Dr Sulkin I read through all of the reviews I could find. All of the positive ones used the word "challenging" and most of the negative ones referred to his "ego". After months of sessions I found the latter to be true. The environment was anything but challenging. It all had to do with his ego. "Challenge" was just another key word, like "development" and "resonate", that many of his more devoted followers would frequently use without truly understanding what it meant. Our sessions were all about feeding his ego and listening to him talk endlessly. He often would push his own agenda, like politics, open marriages (polygamy), advocating sex with other patients (including patients in group therapy together), sleeping around one's workplace (and without the use of protection), and drug use. If I ever disagreed he would get very upset like a juvenile. He would then insult me by referring to me as a "Norm" or thinking like a "Norm". What he calls progressive thinking I call throwing live grenades into one's life.
I adore Dr. Sulkin. He doesn't mince words or waste your time. He works at getting to the heart of an issue as opposed to treating symptoms, and his direct approach can be really uncomfortable and hard. I totally understand how some people would dislike him, but it's because I understand that some people are looking for an easy way out of their issues. If you want to actually get somewhere with a therapist, I recommend Dr. Sulkin.
I have been seeing Dr. Sulkin for several years and also participate in Group Therapy with Saratoga Center for Social Therapy. Dr. Sulkin has been extremely helpful in helping me finally get a grip on past trauma and abuse and recognize how it effects my interactions with all people in my life today (including negative self-talk). He has been a great life coach and has been supportive in my desire to connect more fully with the world around me. His approach is non-traditional, and he isn't afraid to call you out on behaviors that are non conducive to building full and meaningful relationships with the people around you. This might some offputting for those "social norms" that like a more traditional approach, but Dr. Jonathan's approach worked very well with me!
