    As a Psychodrama student, it is simply fascinating to see you work and to try to think what I would do as a therapist. At 2:38, for example, I would probably have had James sit in the other chair first and I would interview his angry part, asking it questions like 'How long have you known James for?', 'Was there a specific event in his life that made you appear?', 'In what situations are you most dominant?' etc. I personally find that it helps me (and the client) get to know that part and understand it better before starting the conversation with it

      I was thinking more along the lines of having James interview his inner child, mother or father. I believe doing so would have made better use of the time together. I am not a believer in IFS and believe it merely rips off Freud, Narrative and Gestalt. Still, I applaud the effort on display here.

    Dr Grande, your role-play videos are great.
    Maybe one day there will be an interactive community to practice this techniques together.
    What you are presenting is very valuable and many people don't have an access to this type of high quality professional help.

    I think this method is brilliant. You confront the shadow within , enter in a dialogue and put the finger on the sore parts. Anger is a powerful emotion and can be tremendously destructive if not expressed properly. Another reason I like this method is because a large part of mental health disorders is due in fact to "" unfinished business". Thanks, Dr.Grande, this role play simulation was a great learning experience for me.
    All the best.

    This role-play helped me to realize how this technique can be helpful for clients of different cultures and ethnicities. For example, the client mentioned that his behavior was unacceptable, especially as being a Black man. Perhaps some racial tensions or discrimination are a source for the client's anger? This can be true for other clients as well. This technique can help the counselor and client work through this and dig deeper to the root of a client's anger. The client can become more aware of what is causing their feelings through the process.

      He said he was fidgety at the beginning....perhaps that is the side effect of him holding back his anger so as not to appear as the stereotypical "angry black man?" A part of him knows that anger from a black man, particularly around police, will get him shot?

    The two chair technique is extremely versatile to a clients situation; in relation to the angry self there is no difference. I really enjoy how it allows the client to discover that part of themselves that needs to be "figured" out just a little more. In this video the counselor asked the client- "what would you call this part of yourself?" This was great for self actualization concerning feelings and identifying problems.

    I really got a lot out of this session. I think that the structure of the session was spot on. Todd was very attentive and the client
    Was very responsive. However, I did think the client was holding back a bit, only because he kept looking back at Todd. Good that
    Todd re-grounded him as this is so very important.

    I really liked this technique and how it was displayed between client and counselor. The client could have put more "truth" into his anger counterpart but since he was acting it we still got the main ideas they tried to convey. I like this technique a lot because it really delves into the reason why some feelings, thoughts, and actions occur. This two chair technique goes along with the awareness portion of Gestalt's therapy. The awareness of feelings played a big part in the client figuring out why the anger is present in the first place and deciding what to do about it. The client needs to contact themself in order to understand the meaning of their actions and this role play demonstrated that very well.

    Truly magnificent process. I disagree with the patient "holding back" It seems that with his personality type, this was a genuine "angry mood" for him. His articulated thoughts and verbal ques seemed to be consistent and congruent with his normal self and angry self. There was a change in his tone, posture and demeanor when the "angry" character spoke. It also seems that as he worked through his feelings as he expressed his thoughts, he was processing. Kudos Brian

    • @angelinastanton7996
      @angelinastanton7996 6 років тому +1

      I agree that the process and outcome of the technique was very positive. I sense that the client was trying to fully show his angry side. However, I sensed that he was uncomfortable with fully releasing his anger. I think that many clients will show discomfort at first, before revealing their true selves in front of the counselor. As long as the counselor is patient, I think everything will unfold. I agree that the client seemed relieved to process and work through his feelings.

    Good video. However, client brought an important part of his identify into the conversation that didn't get fully acknowledged - his race. (3:16) He noted a particular sensitivity to the effects his anger, as a black man, has on others. The therapist neither acknoweldged nor intergrated this important information into the intervention. "James, you say as a black man you have to be careful how your anger shows. Do you feel this would be the case if you were not black? " " Who or what do you suppose is the target of your anger?" "Let's put it (them) in the empty chair and have you speak to it/them."

      Also I feel like another important part hasn't been given much attention, i.e. the function of the Anger which is not letting people to treat him like a doormat. The Anger is informing us that his needs are not met, that he is not happy with the way he is treated. Because his socially adequate part is not addressing the problem, the anger is repressed and acts out in a toxic way.

    I found it useful in some parts, but I found it interesting even as an actor he said 'he'd use his anger' on one of his friends that he trusts' rather than just allowing it to be a natural encounter... so he still does not trust his angry responses... hmmm

      He says he lacks the skills to deal with his anger. Because he needs skills he is not able to trust his capacity to regulate anger. Self regulation skills can be taught and added to this exercise.

    Gestalt is likely one my favoured modalities and not only because it was borne of Frankfurt school socialistic principles of interconnectedness. While I am unsure how Gestaltian this video here is, it nevertheless does provide a superficial glimpse into how Gestalt seeks to depathologize the individual by turning 'problems' into patterns which have outlived their service. Wellness to you all.

    This is really interesting. I did this! I’m angry with myself which makes me irritable and angry with others. It was like the child me was talking to my mom and that parent part of me can’t stop pushing me to perfection and that child part of me is rebelling after all the years( I was always a calm kid) and I can’t forgive myself for how I could not meet my own expectations. I don’t feel calmer after this. Maybe I need to change my goals and expectations totally. But then I don’t know what else to do with my life. What’s right and what’s wrong? I don’t want to make a mistake again.

    I read to the end “In the presence of mine enemies” by Gracia Burnham and I see how my angry part is enveloped in my anger to Dan in taking my mother hostage. How do I see of 5he fact that I see the good part of me allowing me to be angry and rescue my feelings from just exploding, and opposed to the anger which is righteous. Seeing myself able to integrate the anger (which was never able to do because of ingrained passivity) ...now I see a lot more of integrating Gestalt into Bernie. Hard to see, but it IS possible...
