Core Competencies of Ericksonian Therapy - 1. Tailoring with Roxanna Erickson-Klein, PhD

[@nozarm]

Thank you very much Dan and Roxanna. Listening to this excellent conversation, what I am present to, is the essence of the word "Tailor". What or who is a Tailor? A Tailor, is someone who makes a customized clothing, someone who makes the clothes fit a particular customer. A Tailor listens to the customer's desires, wants and needs, asks the customer to try on the item (dress, shirt, trousers, ...), looks and observes from different angles (perspectives) and makes measurements and markings, asks questions, and sometimes makes suggestions and recommendations for modifications to the customer's initial desired outcomes. This is because the tailor is experienced and is viewing the client with the item on from different perspectives. At the end, there is an agreement between the two before the Tailor accepts the task and the customer trusts the tailor to do the work. This helps me in understanding the function served through "Tailoring" in the context of therapy. Thank you 🙏

Thank you very much, if you'd be so kind, which could be in your opinion examples of questions or ways that open a client that Is closed to taking therapy, or is attending only because he/she has to, to express their hopes and desires? Sometimes you get someone that is not willing to share their story or don't even accept yet they have a problem
