The book : PhotoTherapy Techniques --
Exploring the Secrets of Personal Snapshots and Family Album by Judy Weiser, R.Psych., A.T.R., Director, PhotoTherapy Centreis available thru the Photo Therapy website, and thru Amazon.

THE PLAYERS

Motivational Interviewing and the Larger Lesson

Last week I attended a day long workshop on Motivational Interviewing (MI), a counseling technique. We learned specific techniques, but one of the best things I took away from the seminar was the idea of The SPIRIT of MI.

This morning during my run, I realized that this idea of SPIRIT applies in many areas of experience. When I focus on the Spirit of a person, I can view things in their proper size, and not blow one incident out of proportion.

Conversely, when I am trying to outline something, to paint a picture of a scenario, instead of trying to list every single incident that is illustrative of something, I can name as many as come to mind readily, and from there, infer and state the SPIRIT.

Of course, John Bradshaw's books are wonderful, and can be found on his website, as well as other places available on the internet.
