There are certainly no monsters in reality. This monster comes from the imagination of the visitor. We said that this monster is the image that visitors see. So, why do visitors have such an imagination? Is it suggested by the consultant? It is definitely not suggested by the consultant. When visitors ask for help, they often have some symptoms or some actual distress. Generally speaking, they all know that they are not good or wrong, but they cannot control the appearance of these symptoms or feelings. At this time, let the visitor see this image, that is, in the subconscious, his symptoms or distressed performance, that is, the psychological symptoms of the visitors. In reality, the above visitors always have a kind of worry and fear, and in the subconscious will use the chasing of the eagle to express. In other words, the visitor saw the negative feelings in his heart in the way of imagery.
Second, what is dialogue? When we can see the image, we must begin to understand and experience the image. Take the above case as an example.
Consultant: "What kind of eagle is it?"
Visitor: "Grey, it seems to be the color of cement, it looks very hard. But I can't see the head." Consultant: "Can you take a closer look?" Visitor: "You can only see its two eyes. Very big." Consultant: "Why is it chasing you?" Visitor: "It seems like it is going to kill me." Consultant: "Yes? You can wait and see, what will it do for you?" The visitor nodded and said that he was willing to give it a try.
The visitor: "It's close to me, it starts to stretch my wings to me. It starts to smash me, oh, it doesn't seem to want me to die, its wings hang down, it seems to be weak. The body seems to be soft, Not so hard."
Dialogue is understanding, feeling and expression
The dialogue here refers not to the dialogue between the consultant and the visitor, but to the dialogue between the visitor and the image that he sees under the guidance of the consultant, and also between the image of the consultant and the visitor. dialogue. "Dialogue" here means understanding, feeling, and expression. In the process, the visitor, with the support of the consultant, gradually sees exactly what the image of his fear is doing? Why is this? The more clearly I see, the clearer the understanding and experience of the image, the lesser in the subconscious. The deeper the perception of mental activity. When the visitor finds his own rough temper, in reality, it turns out that this eagle is blaming, and the reason why his temper is actually evading his weakness, then the visitor can have his own behavior in reality. A preliminary rational understanding. In this process, the questioning of the consultant is also a process of feeling and understanding the image of the visitor, rather than a mechanical question, reflecting the attitude of the consultant facing the subconscious. Therefore, the image dialogue has the “down-to-down” consultation, that is, the consultant's interaction with the visitor is carried out on the subconscious level.
What is the psychological method of imagery dialogue?
In a nutshell, it is a way to use psychological observation and understanding of imagery to carry out psychological growth, including the resolution of psychological problems. “Observation” and “understanding” are “dialogues”, and the dominant person of observation and understanding is the psychological function of human consciousness or self-awareness. As a "method", the focus of imagery dialogue is to cultivate or strengthen people's self-awareness. As this ability is improved, it will inevitably pave the way for understanding self and realizing self (ie, "who am I" proposition). To achieve the spiritual realm of coexistence and harmony between the inner world and the outer world. It is a way of exploring the mind or life problem from the inside out.
What is the image dialogue counseling technique?
Under the guidance of the methodology of imagery psychology, imagery dialogue counseling techniques follow the principles of psychodynamics or psychoenergy conservation, and under the guidance of consultants, the imagery that visitors see (especially the negative imagery) ) to understand, feel and understand. Image dialogue psychology believes that different images represent different ways of expressing human mental energy. The psychological symptoms of visitors are caused by the unnatural configuration of mental energy, while the negative psychological image symbolizes the psychological energy of unnatural allocation. The image dialogue is to achieve the purpose of natural flow and dominance of mental energy by allowing visitors to constantly perceive and express their understanding and feelings of imagery, while the external psychological symptoms are improved and eradicated. It can also be said that the image dialogue is to work directly on the visitor's subconscious (image) level, through the visitor's understanding of the subconscious, or to turn the unknown (ununderstood) image into a known (true understanding) image. To achieve the purpose of treating psychological problems or making the normal person mentally healthier.
In this process, the guided imagery technology, sensory imagery technology, image processing technology, analytical imagery technology, and personality image decomposition technology are collectively referred to as image dialogue technology. It should be noted that in the process of using the image dialogue technology to conduct psychological counseling, the setting of the psychological counseling (such as interviews, consultation time, consultation environment, consulting ethics, return visits, etc.) is indispensable.
