- What are the different directions in psychotherapy? asked recently to me.
Indeed, now a lot of things. Gestalt, placement, hypnosis, psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral, existential... And it's only a small part of what there is. Regularly, new modality. Someone focused more on the classics. Someone promises miracle results in a couple of sessions (we will talk about this in the next post heading).
❓so how do you navigate all this? How to choose what is best approach? Let's deal.
so:
1. Behavior
2. Feeling
3. Thoughts
4. Bodily symptoms
5. Habits
6. Psychology (letters and drivers)
7. Beliefs and generic scripts and programs
All these symptoms of life scenario, different aspects of a person's lives.
This can be represented as a system of 7 elements. Will post a picture where it is drawn.
(This picture and information about the 7 elements of education Tony white. Therapist from Australia, training and Supervisory transactional analyst)
All these angles of the polyhedron are interrelated, and in both sides:
When we change one corner, it affects all other
At the same time, other corners firmly hold the entire system and create resistance to change.
This means that if people change their behavior, that it will affect his feelings and his thoughts, and manifestations of the body.
At the same time, attitudes and beliefs may not let a person to new behaviors and inhibit it in place. Locked and lost feelings can not to let the new behavior.
💎everything affects Everything. Everything is connected with everything.
Who studied the laws of the system, he understands what I'm saying.
that is why life scenario is so stable, and to really change it, you need from more work.
What about a different direction in psychotherapy?
Each of the areas primarily works with one or multiple angles. Entry points also differ.
Telesca body and psychological attitudes. At the same time, it affects feelings and emotions. I studied telesco, and saw how powerful the emotional reaction to happen.
a Cognitive behavior - thoughts and behavior. It is even clear from the title 🙂
Gestalt pays great attention to feelings and emotions. And of course with the body, thoughts. Deep installation is also affected.
Arrangement - with a family system, with generic scripts.
(can't write about everything directions, examples only of those, who are familiar)
❗️it is Impossible to isolate only one angle and work with it. Man is a holistic system. In any case, whatever point You went, therapy will affect the entire system. Just somewhere more explicitly, somewhere in the implicit.
what part of this is running the transactional analysis? In my experience, with all the elements. Including with body and bodily scenario. And generic scenarios, with the inter-generational transmission of trauma in the family system.
Differences in different areas of therapy in which point we are in the process.
as well As specific methods and objectives of therapy.
So, the most goal of transaction analysis is to be able to understand and change the script of his life. That is what I transactional analysis and the like.
What is the direction of therapy to choose where to go You?
I Have no ready answer to this question. Choose what you like and responds.
And most importantly, choose TO ANYONE. Because the most important is the contact and understanding that occurs between client and therapist. As it will turn out - and so are the results.
what do You think? In what ways have You passed/therapy?
