'Emotional Cognition Theory' (pt 4) - A New Psychoanalytic Therapy
The Individual and Emotional Cognition Theory (part 4)
What happens to the individual in Emotional Cognition treatment?:
The individual is like a box in which the interior cannot be seen. We cannot see the 'inner essence' until the therapist explores it in our presence. Since at first it seems impenetrable, the box seems as a closed system with energy and force and eventually would be able to break down and in some cases explode. It is the therapist's job to stop these negative tendencies and in some cases diffuse the 'bomb'.
Because of isolation the essence of the individual box needs to pass out energy and information -- needs to communicate -- especially to diffuse it's tension before it explodes. Only by gentle probing -- or by tactfully confronting -- can the therapist control what goes on either inside or outside of the box. It is necessary to encourage accurate and true information in the passage of the images of the interior contents to the outside. For this I use the metaphor that separating the inside from the outside is like having a permeable membrane distinct from the interior.
We seek to keep the box intact -- but open it carefully so that the pressure will be let out slowly, gently, and the client may have a decent exposure to Emotional Cognition treatment as well as be prevented from doing something rash. Please know that once energy begins to come out of the membrane we do not want to see a complete rush to the detriment of the individual.
What other models may we use to describe the essential?:
Picture this: A one celled organism. 'Communication' to the outside of the cell must occur so nutrients may be ingested and excess material can be released. Osmosis and diffusion occur naturally. This does not always happen with humans.
Picture a country without trade with other states. If they do not work together with other states they cannot help their economy. Expedited trade therefore helps all participants when it is fair and free. We need an unhindered permeable cell membrane [or wall - in the case of plant cells] so each organism can continue living. The individual is just like a one cell organism AND the trading state. To reduce stress -- to share energy it becomes necessary to pass 'information' and use actions which interface with the outside world.
What growth can be expected in therapy?
The first person the patient most likely will trust is his or her therapist. A patient or client can learn by forming his method -- or rather his style -- in how to express himself perhaps adequately at first, but then to grow admirably in situations where effective sharing can take place. Sure he won't be perfect at first in describing and organizing his feelings -- but with practice with his therapist growth can occur and nuances can be understood. To communicate for many however, it may be necessary to show examples; either by watching others in groups or by 'modeling' after the therapist. In any event, therapists need to be well versed in cultural or anthropological manners to be able to converse in many of our society's ways.
Initially it may be helpful for therapists to approach clients beginning in "group" work. Even therapists need someone to talk to at times and only in these simple terms could they actually share their plain feelings to facilitate the sharing of clients -- as long as the therapist is not inappropriate. All clients may eventually learn and become secure with the understanding that confidence and strength will come with the understanding when relating to others. It should be noted however that all beginning therapy should only include the SIMPLE sharing of therapists to clients. There is danger of the therapist losing the upper hand and falling into temptation. I am not for statutory rape. There is a reason for many parents to watch at swimming classes for it could prevent unjust touching between clients and swim instructors. That being stated -- in order to make sure that each therapist remains just, it should be noted that therapists need to communicate and answer to more than just the patient or client.
At this point slow but sustainable growth will occur. By this I mean that maturation will come especially when the client becomes strong enough to state honestly how he/she feels. Relations via sharing will improve. People will find "comfort ability".
What can be blocks in this therapy? What can be the goals?
Discipline needs to be expected, respected, and practiced. In my case I notice timing and tardiness. Noticing these and other small habits may disclose resistance, or also competitiveness as well as other needs of the client. We look to help all aspects of the client's life but have to use priorities when doing so.
Agreements between client and therapist are also important. Perhaps there may be a certain prejudice and defiance which stands in the way of taking positive mental health actions. Having common goals with competent therapists allows for healthy behavior to be undertaken by clients. A partnership can be made between therapist and client with agreements and industry including clear, accurate, and precise goals. Perhaps specific goals can be made with the client to actually speak up in groups, classrooms, or publicly; remembering that speaking in front of others is a great fear for many people. We look for satisfaction for the client in particular and the therapist as adjunct in the therapeutic relationship.
Although we are all different we do share common goals of healthier living -- thoughtful action is the resultant key.
What is the result of many individuals mindfully understanding their feelings?:
The counseling milieu has changed throughout the years. Could the following foretell what will happen in the future? There was joy in the late 1970's as our current day DJ reported on Sirius radio Channel 54. His reporting concerned the discotheque dance floor of New York city's Studio 54 of the '70's and describes more of the demographics of today's world:
"Gays and straights, Asians and Latinos; Eskimos, Arabs and Indians, blacks and whites all dancing throughout the night!! We see different groups represented and not just wild individuals dancing". Each group passes information to new people!! Members of a honeybee hive pollinate a nearby flower bed !
A new world necessitates the need to accept all others and those of various cultures. People need to rely on others. We need to be the person we needed when we were younger !
Finally -- How do we build confidence and character?
It is the obstacles we address and surmount and finally work through which allow confidence to grow in us. To do this we must "know ourselves", have a handle on our past, and be willing to adapt and change when needed. Emotional Cognition treatment helps us deal with ourselves at any given point in time. To work at this we will need to 'talk with' another who not only knows us -- but who is willing to listen and 'bounce back' needed information so that we may use our cognitive functions. In the end we solve our own problems with the help of others who are understanding of our needs.
Character is improved when we realistically feel comfortable not only with the relationship of our emotions, but we become willing to set reasonable goals affecting our future. We always must remember though, that to live this theory and therapy we cannot be afraid of feeling our emotions and stating them when appropriate.
