When we ask questions from this position, we are able to respect and work within the clients frame of reference?
What is the position of not knowing?
What are at least two characteristics of well-formed goals?
What are goals that are:
-important to the client
-interactional- how will others see the client as different as a result of meeting with you
-situation- specific to a certain place and setting
-the presence of something desirable rather than the absence of a problem
-a beginning rather than the end
-client has a role in achieving it
-concrete, behavioral, and measurable
-realistic
-a challenge to the client
What do when a client doesn't know what he or she wants from meeting with you?
What is stay present with the client until they are able to answer it? It is okay that this may take more than one session for the client to answer.
What are the 3 types of relationships clients may form with us?
What is the customer-type relationship, what is the complainant-type relationship and what is the visitor-type relationship?
What are at least 3 helpful keys to remember when working with a visitor-type client?
1) What is don't go in with a plan
- build the session one question at a time
2) What work from a position of curiosity-
-begin working with the client by assuming that the client's self-perceptions and perceptions about him/herself and his/her circumstances make sense within the client's frame of reference at that point in time. Seek to explore those perceptions.
-seek to understand that it is that he/she might want from meeting with you
-seek to understand what has brought the client into meet with you
3) What is hold the client accountable for his/her perceptions?
ex. student "I do better in school when I study less": "what is happening that tells you that you are doing better when you study less?" "How does studying less help you?"
4) What is, when the client drifts into problem talk, continue to invite them back into SF talk?
