Description
Description:
The daunting task of leading clients from a disempowering sense of external control to an actualizing sense of inner control becomes doable by helping them reframe their behavior from actions to language, i.e. seeing actions as an attempt to send a message or a signal to the world around them. This practical idea will be illustrated in role-play demonstrations of the WDEP system: Wants (or behavior as language), (self) Evaluation, and (action) Planning.
Educational Objectives:
- To list two ways for helping clients evaluate their efforts to communicate to the world around them.
- To list three direct or metaphorical questions useful for assisting clients in their self-evaluation.
