Psychological Technique : Key Questions For Client Treatment

Reflecting On Yourself

"How Did / Does This Situation Make You See Yourself?"

"When You Are Around Him / Her, What Do You Think Of Yourself?"

"If This Happens To You In The Future, What Do You Think You Will Think Of Yourself?"

Treatment Note : The Goal of these questions is to prompt the client to see that their experiences prompt them to think about themselves in different ways. Knowing this, the client learns to identify how their life experiences prompt them to see themselves.

Wrong

"What If They're All Wrong?"

"What If Everything, Everyone Has Said To You In Life Is Wrong?"

Explanation : Human beings are mortal. Fallible. Have opinions, but certainly do not have answers. With this in mind, the only truth that exists for you is your own. Paying attention to other people's ideas is fine, but adopting them as your own is wrong, for you. They can be wrong. They do not have the truth. Your truth, is yours to craft for yourself.

New Social Networking Site : Find A Debate.com

Premise

Have you ever felt like debating a topic, but didn't know where to find someone interested in debating it?

Well, now there is one place on the internet to go to find everyone who is in the mood for a debate.

Website's Style

The website's style will be similar to all the popular social networking sites :

• Yahoo Answers
• Facebook
• Quibblo
• Twitter
• Urtak

That is to say the website will :

• Color Scheme : A palate of 3-4 primary colors which are easy on the eye
• Font : Large, easily read font. A font unique to the site would be valuable.
• Profile : The standard ability to create a profile with all the usual elements : avatar, nickname, hobbies, favorite movie, food, book, etc.
  

Format

Also extremely easy and familiar.

The Yahoo Answers format is perfect for this idea.

The User simply submits their debate topic by writing it up and placing it in the appropriate category.

For example : "Ron Paul's Staunch Anti-Military Interventionist Platform Is The Factor Which Would Insure A Victory If He Became The Republican Nominee Running Against Obama."

The topic would be placed in the Category : Politics and would then appear on the sites main page Debate Hub.

The Debate Hub would be the standard scrolling list of debate topics.

Ideas

• It would be cool if users could be engaged in multiple debates. It would be simple, like joining multiple chat-rooms. The user would even be able to see the list of all the debates they were participating in on their profile.
  

Psychological Treatment : The Glove Technique

Physical Communication Aid : Mitt Punching

• Simple and straightforward
• The psychologist uses the aid of mitt punching pads to help their clients talk about stressful topics which tend to provoke an anger response

Hajime No Ippo

You can see in this anime how useful the mitt punching exercise is in facilitating communication between the two people interacting in the exercise.

Mutual Exercise

Mitt Punching is not only a useful aid to facilitating communication about stressful, anger-provoking topics, but it is also excellent exercise for both the psychologist and the client.

Location

• Psychologist's Office : Not always possible due to space constraints
• Local Gym : The Psychologist and the client can meet up at a local gym
• Boxing Gym : Probably the best option since the boxing action will mesh well with the overall environment and not disrupt anyone's daily routine
• Hospital Physio Studio : Easier access because the facility is right in the hospital, but the intense exercise can easily be disruptive to other people using the area

Conclusion : A Radical New Addition To Dynamic Client Therapy

Mitt Punching is one of the activities which brings a trainer and his fighter closer together.

It's vigorous, it's physical, and it releases a great deal of negative energy in an active, dynamic fashion.

Both trainer and fighter find themselves talking, trying to resolve perceived problems in upcoming encounters.
Sometimes those problems are actually personal ones holding someone back from being in their peak mental and emotional state.

A lot of stuff comes out when you are hitting those pads.
