Listen "#4 Fear of using Paradoxical interventions - "I could never say that!" "
Episode Synopsis
Many therapists are afraid of pdxi. Interventions often do not match what they assume therapy is supposed to be. In a counter-intuitive manner, pdxi does not focus on changing behavior. While behavior does shift as a secondary effect, the actual focus of pdxi is to strengthen the therapeutic attachment and alliance. To this degree pdxi comes off as illogical. However 90% of the method is based on the work of Carl Rogers. A live video shows the power of creating a connection without having an overt agenda for the client (Gedolia) to change. We will discuss a case of how pdxi might be used to help stop a big brother from beating up his little brother.
