THERAPISTS USE METAPHORS AND STORIES
THERAPISTS USE METAPHORS AND STORIES to get across various points and encourage changes. I made up a metaphoric story in supervision recently and my colleague told me two days later it was so apt he had used it several times. I realized that over 5 decades, nearly 3 of them at Shorehaven building our wonderful team and serving thousands of clients over that time, I have come up with many stories, many metaphors. You probably have as well. I realized our best stories and metaphors are locked away in our own consulting rooms. We can share them! I can gift them to you and you can add yours on the comments. Or at least you can be inspired to write them down. All that wisdom can be shared. I have shared 4 stories and today I will share 2 more. I'll also store them on my Instagram page where they can be found and on Shorehaven's LinkedIn and pages and the Helpful Resources page of our website.

DESCRIPTIVE PRAISE - On learning strength-based reinforcement

A STRENGTH-BASED approach to giving praise by naming the specific behavior, but let's take it another step and name the skill. I think naming the category helps with stabilizing the behavior. So, instead of criticisim, "What's wrong with you for leaving the classroom without permission?" we could use BEHAVIOR-SPECIFIC PRAISE for staying in the seat, "Today was better, you stayed in your seat."

NEW: We could use my broader form of DESCRIPTIVE PRAISE, "You showed self-control by staying in your seat and thinking ahead by realizing you didn't want to be scolded or disappoint me. Plus, you showed sensitivity to your classmates by not creating a disturbance. You are a good cooperator. How about every everyone seated around you giving you a high five and thank you?" "You can say something new about yourself like 'I can figure out what is important to do in class to help others and be a good learner.'"
