Shifting the Perspective on Psychological Well-Being
Psychology Has It Backwards challenges the assumption that people are psychologically broken and need fixing. By viewing individuals as innately healthy, all interactions and outcomes can be simplified and profound changes can occur. This podcast advocates for a true paradigm shift that emphasizes the importance of recognizing and fostering individuals' natural state of well-being.
The Power of Listening and Being Present
The podcast highlights the significance of listening and being present when working with clients. It encourages therapists to move away from excessive processing and focusing on past traumas. Instead, by connecting with the life energy within individuals, therapists can help clients gain insights, recognize their innate health, and experience positive changes. This approach is different from traditional therapy and requires therapists to stay attuned to the present moment and guide clients towards their own personal power.
Telling Stories and Recognizing Wisdom
The podcast emphasizes the use of storytelling to convey key points and help clients recognize their own wisdom. By sharing stories that exemplify how thought, consciousness, and innate health work together, therapists can guide clients towards insights and new perspectives. It highlights that clients often possess innate health and wisdom, even if they are unaware of it. Therapists play a role in pointing out these insights and helping individuals acknowledge their own personal power to create positive changes in their lives.
Continuing on our last podcast, since we are not analyzing what is wrong or problem-solving with clients, what DO we do? Although every 3P practitioner works from their own wisdom in the moment, and there are no "techniques" or "processes," all of us listen as deeply as we can to clients until we "hear" their mental health in their stories and "see" where to enter to address the nature of thought. We know that everyone, before they become engaged with the content of their personal thinking, is perfectly mentally healthy and that everyone can get "before thoughts" into the profound spiritual feeling of the energy of life from which we find our own wisdom about what to do. We speak to that health.
