How can we cultivate mindful listening?
Bringing attention to a part of our body (i.e. heart rate, breathing, hands)
What are some ways to consciously express empathy?
- Convey empathy in words: 1-2 words that client has used
- Letting your compassion flow: consciously relaxing your body
- Finding a point of shared human experience with clients: a place, clothing, shared interest, etc
- Notice your own emotions
- Listen mindfully: asking open-ended questions to allow yourself to listen to
How can we cultivate partnership (in connect domain) with clients?
- Positioning self at eye level of client
- Avoid having a barrier between you and the client
- Minimise note taking in front of the client unless strictly needed
- Frame things as ‘we’ instead of ‘you/I’
- Avoid ramble of your expertise
- Choice of clothing, makeup, handshake
- Avoid summarising in your own words on what the client has shared
- Convey curiosity and naivety, check if you have understood correctly
- Paraphrase while using the words that the client has used
What are the pros & cons of having both subjects present during OPC with multiple clients?
- Pros: vivo coaching through performance analysis & strategy development
- Cons: may need to express thoughts / feelings that are not helpful / unhealthy for the dependent to hear
What are the components of Collaborative Performance Analysis (CPA) in the ‘Structure’ domain?
- Envision - guiding clients to envision how they want things to be
- Explore - focus on possibilities & solutions about how the problem will be solved / alleviated; led by client rather than practitioner
- Engage - client’s engagement in the process of analysing goal situations & making changes in their lives (SDT)
Aspects to consider while ‘exploring’ in CPA?
- Person: motivation, knowledge about the task, ability to do the task
- Environment: proximity, intensity, complexity, consistency
- Task: number of sequence, expected standard of the task (level of independence, speed of completion, quality of outcome, avenues to solution)
What are the ‘5 SS to Act’ when coaching clients to choose actions (Structure: Act)?
- Keep it small: small steps
- Keep it simple: simple action within plan
- Let client state: what they plan to do
- Snowball effect: small initial step leading on to bigger steps
- Real changes sticks
What are the 2 areas to evaluate after a plan has taken action?
- Progress towards goal
- How effective was the plan
How can we guide clients to generalise a successful strategy?
- Thinking about how it can be used in a different context, with different tasks and at different times
- Thinking about the factors that makes the strategy more generalisable (e.g. setting, time, people)
What are the strategies to encourage sharing in OPC?
- Ask first: asking a question before offering advice; 8-:20 rule; open-ended questions; pacing questions
- Prompting reflection: thinking about a different situation from a different perspective
