“I’ve Never Seen Anything Like This Before”
摘要
In an Open Dialogue therapy meeting and consultation, it is followed up unconditionally on the themes initiated by the clients. The facilitators of the therapy meeting can repeat some important phrases word for word and encourage the clients to say more about the issue. Open dialogue can lead to strong emotional experiences that also overwhelm the clinicians. We create a space for sharing, including both issues said aloud and embodied emotional experiences, such as grief. It is important to proceed calmly and create an atmosphere in which all participants feel assured that they are being heard and respected. Change does not require specific interventions to transform the family, but merely the creation of a space of sharing through dialogues.
