Role Play: Person Centred Therapy

The person-centred approach focuses on the client being able to develop a greater understanding of self in an environment which allows the client to resolve his or her own problems without direct intervention by the therapist.
Presented in an authentic and flowing style, this video incorporates a role play demonstrating the key techniques of Person-centred therapy -- demonstrated by counselling professionals and including captions of the specific skill as it is demonstrated.

[@skionen1781]

The therapist is a master at reflecting and paraphrasing the essence of his message .very good

[@cybrhckr]

+skione n like, I must say in person centered therapy you don't suggeest things. so It is most of the time interpreting and paraphrasing. It is like basic grammar therapy.

So interesting to see the clientd change in body language when the therapist states that she can see he's a good caring father. Like he really warms to her and opens up

[@PavolGabaj]

The therapist was incredible, the paraphrasing was not simply mirroring what has been said but has also reflected client's feeling which is so important. the best video of person centred approach on youtube for me.

[@cherylfielding6216]

Whether you like this type of therapy or not, I think that the role play was very genuine and well done. If you need to do person centered therapy for your assignments then I think this is a good example. Some clients actually like this quiet type of counselling.

[@cp068]

+Cheryl Fielding I agree.

[@creatingwithnature7709]

Cheryl Fielding Yes this is a very good example, her questioning and summarising techniques are very clear and the conversation is easy to follow. She also showed the power of silence, which I find effective.

[@mariamistretta3860]

I know right some people see role playing like a negative thing. When actually it can be a positive thing. It be good way to expression yourself it could be like putting yourself in the person shoes like changing point of views.

[@markgoodchild9842]

As somebody that has undergone nearly a year of counselling, through the person centred approach, and also someone that aspires to become a counsellor, I found this quite interesting. Even though its a role play, and many have argued around the congruency, what many seemed to miss, whether it was or not on purpose due to the role play, was how this altered the clients body language to be more open and possibly more relaxed, lets not forget how sometimes body language can mirror feelings within a client, as well as be completely the opposite and as such, this is one of the many great talents in my opinion that a person-centred counsellor would pick up on. Finally to all of you that are currently practising, I just want to say I'm in awe of your skills and dedication, and I hope that one day in the future I to, will be in a position to help others in the way that you do. God bless you all

[@samismael4422]

Hi Mark, reflecting on non verbal cues is called feedback and forms a major part of the counselling process. Great that you picked up on that. I hope you get to realise your dream of becoming a counselor. You seem to have a knack for it.

this type of "acting out" and allowing my "shadow" persona to proliferate was critical in understanding the anima psychosis that was undermining my true ego. i recommend it for everyone who is in therapy under professional care and i believe it to be harmless,practical and nourishing.

I have to do this for my study becoming a social worker great Non-Directive way of communicating not overruling the conversation or coming with suggestions or solutions I do have to say that we are taught to avoid the word ''Oke'' because it misses the empathy and its like ''oke well... next but otherwise great done!!

[@redlady935]

5:22 is not congruency. There is a common misconception that being congruent is about expressing our feelings as a therapist whereas this is actually transparency. True congruence is the internal owning of our own feelings/thoughts as the therapist. Often expressing these can be harmful. Saying "Im very impressed" is offering CONDITIONAL REGARD. This can be damaging as is a CONDITION OF WORTH and prevents the client getting in touch with their ORGANISMIC VALUING PROCESS. (All from Carl Rogers writings)

[@SuperFaby27]

isn't it interesting at that point, he stopped having his arms closed and his demeanor was a lot less defensive

[@369jones6]

Excellent point. Making judgements on what is being said to you the helper is most definitely not unconditional positive regard, it's the opposite.

[@rozjeffries]

Completely agree!

[@memez4793]

But if i look at it from a strength/ empowerment perspective i feel that the counsellor is appraising him for his courage and is feeding this back to him so that he can realise it

[@AR-bv9hx]

Yes. I was also confused at this. Congruency is not something that is expressed to the client. It is within ones self. It's genuineness and being authentic.

[@Javjean]

This video is such a good demonstration of how to do the basic reflecting and summarising techniques in a natural light, but half the comments are just kids rigorously applying the structures to what is supposed to be a non-intimidating, basic video about people and how to talk to them in a therapy session.

[@TTbelis]

The main goal of the therapy is to make the client to be able to feel that the counselor he/she is talking to is genuine and empathic that is why the counselor here is repeating and paraphrasing the what her client is saying and to reach a point that the client would be able to realize what is wrong and solution about his/her concerns as the talk progress

[@StonefieldJim4]

This is helpful, but as I'm currently training in this field, I'm wondering about the approval and praise that could be read into the counsellor being 'impressed', as she puts it, and giving the client credit as a good parent. In my own training, it was brought to my attention that I had a tendency to do this myself - to praise and reassure, to, effectively, judge the client (I, for example, spoke to a client about what I took to be her courage in addressing certain issues). Like the counsellor here, I also told a client her outlook was 'balanced', and I was discouraged from doing so for the same reasons: that it's judgmental and puts my frame of reference before the client's. Any thoughts on this?

[@Jwcounseling]

I am also in a masters program and training, and I find it useful to praise in this session. To praise or reassure on positive aspects of your client doesn’t bother seem harmful to me.

[@hudajineyat5731]

The counsellor is doing very well. I only have one issue that I do not agree to paraphrase each response, statement, or concept the client makes.

[@ashimadutta780]

Could you please explain why?

[@hudajineyat5731]

Because, it seems she is talking more than the client especially first part of the session

[@DD-jm5ug]

That's person centred for you

[@CF-ei5oz]

I had the same thought. I think she was very competent. But in my approach to person centered, I don't mirror/paraphrase every statement but rather the main point after client makes a few statements.

[@ThePossumone]

Very good, helped me a lot. Notice she didn't take any notes at all, so will be completely relying on her memory once he has gone?

[@blackrainbow1100]

Pretty much! Unless she taped the session to transcribe later...

[@gabrielcarrasco8414]

@@blackrainbow1100 It's not likely. Normally you don't tape sessions, as it's a breach of confidentiality. Only in certain cases are sessions taped.

[@mikefoster5277]

The therapist may have made notes _after_ the session, which can then be reviewed prior to the next session beginning. It would otherwise be difficult to store all of the relevant information about each client in one's memory, especially if the therapist is seeing many clients during the course of the working week. There's also the added advantage of appearing more natural and less threatening to the client by not taking notes during the sessions themselves.

[@outsky20051]

I am not a psychotherapist, and I have a question. It seems to me, by saying "yeah yeah" the therapist is trying to express constant acceptance, but is that empathy? Before I thought empathy means I feel the same way as the person I talk to. Thus, when I try to express empathy, I try to change my voice/body language with the person I talk to, and guess his/her emotions (for example, "that must be very exhausting".). After watching this video, I am curious about what is the right way to express empathy: express acceptance, or simulating the client's emotions? Thanks.

[@adellecraig9758]

minimal encourages.

[@PurpleBadger]

You can never feel the same as the client, they are coming from a completely different place. You won't have their experiences. I think the 'yeah, yeah' is about acceptance and showing him she is listening.

[@saraluis-sanchez4348]

I wouldn't say acceptance but moreso to show that she's following what he's saying.

[@elegantblue19]

By putting yourself in the clients frame of reference you are introducing empathy into the working relationship with your client. So other words feeling the clients emotions within yourself. Sad, happy , angry , confused etc

[@AR-bv9hx]

Empathy is "feeling with" someone. By her nodding shows her client that she understands what feelings he is having. Nodding is also an expression of active listening. It encourages further expression as well.

[@SliszMeisterGeneral]

Would the counsellor at any point ask her client to find out if his wife is willing to come in or would she exclusively work with her client so he can solve the issue?

[@wendygalligan8984]

I saw another one where the counselor asked if she thought her husband would be the type of person who'd be willing to get some help himself, but then she moved on helping the actual client. That's probably something that would happen down the road for sure, but maybe not to focus on it right off the bat.

Ok. I’m a NLP and HYPNOTHERAPY therapist. She is repeating back to him what he’s telling her. I believe the therapist should dig a whole lot deeper.

[@sajjansharma8717]

THE MAIRSY CONCEPT exactly

[@bigusdickus1024]

In person centred counselling, it is not the counsellors job to dig as this is a non-directive approach in counselling. She is doing well and everything a person centred counsellor should do. NLP is pseudoscience and hypnosis is still debatable

[@AR-bv9hx]

It's the client-centered (person-centered approach). "Digging" is not what a client=centered therapist does. That's the client's work actually. The client-centered therapist provides the environment for that to happen.

[@gabrielcarrasco8414]

This is person-centered therapy, which digging is not within the counselor's role. Person centered therapy is more about using less techniques not more.

[@Ladycake79]

Person centred therapy does not 'dig' its non directive

[@Jwcounseling]

I am a masters student and we have gone deep into Cbt, but I’m trying to see the main differences by watching this in it and person centered.

What does the client get, after completing the "counselling" courses? (Is this like taking a course in "First-aid/CPR", or "Driver's education" training?!...

It's only one form of therapy. Maybe you're looking for more structure in your sessions, in which case person centered therapy isn't for you and that's fine. But Person Centered Therapy helps the client engage more in self talk, getting them to be the instrument of change in their own lives. The counselor is there to rephrase what you say to help you to change your own behavior. For some this type works, for others it doesn't and that is completely normal.

It is discomforting viewing a role play that is blaming a woman, 'who is crazy' with zero male accountability, and he is using "the kiddies" as the excuse. Domestic Violence is mainly perpetrated by men. So it is important, especially in training to demonstrate the actual scenarios that DV is serious for women's survival and safety. Showing a video that suggests DV by women to a man, is concerning. Our community is struggling with increasing violence and control of our women. Women continuously have to challenge old-fashioned attitudes of blaming women. (This video is no help to women) THE TRUE ISSUE IS THAT WOMEN NEED TO BE SEEN AS SOME WOMEN ARE NOT SAFE.

66Freesia It is not a stupid revelation! Like most folk who come in at the bottom of a joke and react not knowing the top part. A wise guy who later deleted what he said made a reference to my size and genitals. I rebutted against him. Otherwise, this statement makes absolutely no sense by itself. At any rate, it is good to know that you do not have a bottomless vaginas.

Spineless indeed. Person centred therapy. The worst. CBT would have been more directive n helpful for him.
