this is generally used for children yeah, but if an adult says this appeals to them why not do it?

Actually there’s a lot of complex things happening in this sort of therapy that makes it often more effective than just talk therapy, even though it seems simple and playful to you.

That chicken needs help. She needed to hear that

ohsnap31 the client is not a child. The stuffed animal is a metaphor. Listen tot the video again

I'm 25 and I still like stuffed animals... Am I mentally ill? Hmm...

You're the one that may well need help. Ignorance by way of self-righteousness isn't something to display for the world to witness on UA-cam. That's not the sign of a "healthy" human being. The client in this video is not a child, for one. Secondly, the process is known as externalization. For example, if I were your therapist, I might ask you to describe "the problem"---your ego. I'd ask you what color it is. What it smells like. Is it slender or fat? Is it male or female? I'd ask you to name it. We might come back with something like the Fat Red Rancid Bitch named Xena. That's externalization by way of position mapping. Now we have an avatar for your ego. Hence, whenever it flares up, we can see it for what it is---the Fat Red Rancid Bitch named Xena---and invite it to excuse itself from our conversation and your life. Cool, huh? :) All the counselor's doing in this video is using a stuffed animal (not a "toy") in an attempt to shortcut this process. I don't agree with this way of position mapping. But her intentions are noble.
