how does the parataxic distortion differ from transference in 2 ways
it can be done between any persons/groups. and 2- it not only distorts the relationship, it can distort the relationship due to the needs of the person in question. so it changes alot
what is an schema
intenral working model or world made of the beliefs of a person.

that we die alone.
what is the corrective emotional experience from Franz Alexander
expose the person to difficult emotions in better situations (i.e. the microcosm of group).
besides insight, what else is needed for corrective emotional experience to work x2
besides insight/intelligence into the situation (educated on the matter), they need to feel the situation and have their reality tested.
what is epistemic trust as said from Peter Fonagy
capacity to trust in what others say and do and engage in the world in a way tha this not hypervigiliant.
how does reality testing work in the corrective emotional experience
they test what they thought was their reality, and realize that it is not the case or not always the case - thus - new meaning and insight into relationships.
why is group better at corrective emotional experiences than individual cousneling
it is easier to dispute what is being seen in the relationship because it is only one relationship, in group, there are many.
as 2 parts of the corrective emotional experience exist (feeling the emotion and reality testing), what must these parts consist of x2.
1- safety to feel the emotion. 2- engagement and feedback to ensure realty testing.
when clients are asked about the most powerful point of group sessions, is it from the members or the therapist
the members.
what are the 5 parts of a corrective emotional experience
1- insight/education 2- strong expression of emotion that takes risk/courage to express. 3- group supports the person in expression (safety) 3- reality testing (best when paired with engagement and feedback from group) - person can examine the emotion and receive validation. 4- sees their emotion was inappropriate. 5- person can interact more deeply and authentically.
