Study Notes
Social Engagement and Healing
- Social engagement is essential for healing, as chronic stress can make healing more challenging.
- The goal of care is to support patients in moving out of survival mode and recalibrating into a state of safety.
Perception and Stress
- Perception is a primary influencer of stress.
- Refer to video #2 (Bruce Lipton, PhD) on Epigenetics and The Power of Perception.
The Therapeutic Alliance
- The therapeutic alliance is an essential professional skill, referring to the clinician's ability to create a secure relational container.
- A healthy therapeutic relationship is necessary for positive change in a patient's life.
Communication Skills
- Open-ended questions (OEQ) are great for opening a conversation, inviting discussion, and encouraging self-reflective awareness.
- OEQs:
- Encourage the client to speak and elaborate.
- Invite the speaker to pause, think, and reflect.
- Offer an opportunity to gather information about the client and their concerns.
- Avoid leading questions, loaded questions, and closed-ended questions.
Conducting a Naturopathic Interview
- Essential components: presence, safety, and regulation.
- Presence: being fully engaged and attentive in the conversation.
- Safety: creating a secure and non-judgmental space for the patient.
- Regulation: being aware of one's emotional state and responding appropriately.
Pattern Recognition and Conversation
- Learn to recognize significant patterns in cognitive, emotional, and relational dynamics.
- OARS (Open-ended questions, Affirmations, Reflections, and Summaries) support a meaningful conversation.
- Use OARS to obtain relevant information and build a trusting relationship.
Important Reminders
-
Vulnerability is a sign of strength, not weakness.
-
Allowing oneself to be vulnerable creates a sense of closeness with others and builds trustful relationships.
-
Avoid mistaking sympathy for empathy, and focus on creating a safe and non-judgmental space.### Exploring Vulnerability and Connection
-
Dr. Brené Brown's research highlights the connection between vulnerability, intimacy, and shame, and how it affects our belief system and sense of worthiness.
-
This belief system can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, despite our desire for connection.
-
Our defenses can block real connection and intimacy, as we try to protect ourselves from perceived rejection and judgement.
Attachment vs Authenticity
- To build real, authentic, and positive relationships, we need to allow others to see our true selves.
- This requires an inclusive relationship with ourselves, including our perceived faults, flaws, and shortcomings.
- We need to make peace with our "shadow" self, which includes the things we hide due to fear of being judged as "not good enough," "weak," "incapable," or "undeserving."
Active Listening
- Active listening is a loving process that involves verbal and non-verbal communication, observation, and reflection.
- It helps the person feel safe, supported, heard, and understood, and enables them to express their thoughts and feelings more clearly.
- Active listening involves:
- Establishing rapport and matching body posture, gestures, and language
- Eye contact and listening to verbal and non-verbal messages
- Reflecting content and feelings
- Remaining in touch with oneself and the effect on the listener
Conducting an Effective Interview
- Using a mix of open-ended and closed-ended questions can help facilitate a fluid and conversational interview.
- Open-ended questions invite elaboration and exploration, while closed-ended questions clarify specific details.
- Asking for clarification and reflecting what the person has said helps to ensure understanding and builds trust.
- It's essential to be mindful of the interview structure and avoid getting stuck in a series of closed-ended questions.
The Therapeutic Alliance
- According to Carl Rogers, a good therapeutic alliance involves empathy, congruence (genuineness), and unconditional positive regard.
- A supportive and understanding therapist is essential for building trust and facilitating positive outcomes.
- The therapeutic alliance is critical for providing a nurturing environment that is respectful, compassionate, and responsive to the individual's needs.
