Bon, je dois me remettre à un peu plus d’activité physique régulière : au moins 5km de course chaque semaine (mais il en faudrait 2 par semaine, vraiment). Je tiens le cap depuis le début du mois…

Last week I took the workshop Working Effectively with Indigenous Peoples® which was given by an amazing facilitator, Flavio Caron, ICT.

The workshop covers various topics including history, governance, laws, cultures, languages, and communication. I recommend it to anyone (individuals, business owners and entities) who wants to work toward reconciliation and develop respectful relationship with Indigenous communities.

honestly? I think I could do it.
Only because being a therapist isn’t the same as being a social worker, friend, or coworker.

.

Depending on the modality (especially Person-Centred / Humanistic), you can Socratic Method someone in a guiding way, but you’re not reeeeally supposed to give advice.
(I’m in training, not qualified, mostly regurgitating what we learned this week which was on this topic.)

So like “Behavioural Experiments” in CBT is about (iirc, remember I’m not expert)
getting the person to first talk about the situation, then in any order:
notice their thoughts, feelings / emotions, bodily sensations, and behaviours.

Personally I may vibe more with Psychodynamic (yes the freud one, no not the exact same, no not hypnotism, yes focused on how experiences inform inner monologue etc, I think).

.

I think Humanistic / Person-Centred is best suited for people who haven’t done much introspection yet, or haven’t felt empowered to fully explore their options.
(According to my class materials, this theory asserts that the client is the expert on their life and how to respond to situations.)

I think CBT is good for people who might know what they want but not how to get it, or need external structure, or have a discrete event or common situation they can’t resolve satisfiably.
(Class says both / all act as co-creators of meaning; I argue the counsellor is considered the expert, since they’re the one setting goals.)

.

I think (newer) Psychodynamics is better if you know what your daily challenges are, you’ve already depleted obvious responses and interventions, or you know you need dedicated time to unearth deep traumas or Complex PTSD.

For lurkers: c-PTSD doesn’t mean “interesting” or “harder”.
My definition is that the mistreatment
(anything beyond your ability to cope with what you had / knew at the time)
was repeated, often by a caregiver or someone with (real or perceived) authority, and with no reliable escape.

(Class says practitioner is expert; I argue meaning is co-created because the therapist can’t do shit if you don’t say shit, nor do they know what significance you attach to anything.)

(InB4 someone says racism isn’t a mental illness, which is true!
But any definition of mental illness is socially or societal constructed and condoned.
Being gay was a mental illness within living memory.)

Starting on Monday, 21 October, I'll be teaching two parallel courses on Taylor Swift for the Volkshochschule beider Basel.
