P-2/4 PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC PROCESS AS TRIANGULAR MENTAL INTERACTION BETWEEN CLIENT, CLINICIATION & SOCIAL SET-UP

Basically, if a person is born normal, he is fully curable since a smart, goal-directed enthusiastic person has the capacity to achieve but needs stability and courage to express and ask for a push to go on. Honesty, devotion and patience are the keys towards success. The earlier one sees and shares the complexes, the easier it would be to be self-assured to resolve with pleasure and confidence. So, holding within the self is just hurting the self, and sharing feedback with open feelings for clarification speeds up opening the locked engines.

In each case, the success of prognosis and analysis depends on the client’s own trust, co-ordination, cooperation and tuning toward a strong rapport, which improves the suggestibility. Where there is a will, there is a way. Tuning toward a particular type of therapy or therapist boosts the rapport between the therapist and the client to move faster in achieving the set goals. At times, for the resolution of phobias, family-related acute complexes, modeling and counter-conditioning techniques based on behavior modification are implemented and prompted by the therapist along with the client by visiting the space and conditions to desensitize the conditioned anxiety in the concerned client. Mutual commitment is a must for entering personal domains of each other. In other words, it takes two to make a row to move toward a set destination that bring the desired change in the client’s goals of the sessions.

During the clinical session, the rapport which is a must to develop hypnotic trance is based on how deep a bond of mutual respect, security, warmth, belongingness and appreciation triggers a change within a person. The therapist as a human being with skills still has limits to contact the Ruh/Psyche/inner hidden world of the client at a certain time, place, etc. For the safeguard of both client and therapist, goals are set with mutual trust under confidentiality and professional ethics with contract. Activity charts, recording of progress reports, psychological testing, family cooperation, and physical, social, recreational, religious activities facilitate the progress rate.

The success of human beings requires that one must find out the potential treasure of the Self along with the natural hidden dimensions of the Nature. An individual with a high I.Q. status without a good E.Q. is troublesome and painful in a social set-up. Moreover, environmental challenges have cost the human social bond and security in handling the cultural and moral values, leaving a person in chaos among self-centered incumbents. So, the modern civilized society has crippled the old social, moral and ethical values as humans have become selfish, greedy and in-sensitive to other relations and natural attractions. Living in a clan and family unit with sharing feelings and caring for others is replaced with single or small families where old people are ignored or left in a helpless and lonesome state passing time to die. The family elders, who used to provide parental loving substitutes to children while working couple were on the job, are no more available to innocent children who feel secluded and develop a life pattern of lonesome ignored babies even as mature persons in the life-span.

A smart, goal-directed, enthusiastic client may have the capacity to achieve but needs stability and courage to express and ask for a push to go on. Honesty, devotion and patience are the keys towards success. If the things you mention have been shared long, you would have at least a way out of complexes and be self-assured to resolve with pleasure and confidence. Holding to one’s self is just hurting the self. Only birds of the same flock fly together. So, it is all up to the client’s application of WWWHWW and sharing feedback with open feelings for clarification and opening the locked engines.

I take each human being as an individual blessed with potentials but who has detracted due to overt and covert stimuli. So, in the mental health process, besides my own self, I have to develop deep empathy that if I would be in such sufferings, what would be the emotional pains to a client? Without this mental state, listening to clients is like talking to a wall. If a client hides the fact and delays in disclosing the real inner built-in system, he wastes time, loses energy and fool’s own self as the complexes become more complicated in this mental chess, adding the possibility of dual-thinking, personality disintegration, obsessive thoughts, etc. These were the passions with which I proceeded to equip myself with the sensitive area of psychotherapy profession. For me, it is the most noble human service for the blessings of the Lord. My unusual success is because I feel it like a faith to assist the needy people sincerely and honestly without hiding any facts, never to betray or use them for personal gains.

During clinical practices and psychotherapeutic service, clinician like me come across a variety of strange human beings who, having knowledge of the utility of this present life extending services in the masses, are still helpless to utilize them for gaining a peaceful, goal-directed and productive life. Because of their thinking pattern with established personality impoverishment, they are helpless to come out of the grip of their own abnormal fantasies. They remain scared of failure by their own thoughts and remain guarded to lose control, cry for nothing, feel alone and helpless, have all luxuries but pass a miserable life with suicidal ideation to get out of the chain of self-created and self-induced pains, and blame others but refuse to have a change of irrational belief.

It is found that still in the present century, there are many graduate-level eager clients who wish to resolve their mental issues through clinical sessions but are scared to visit the therapist and request therapy through phone or non-video links. When they are enquired, they mention their thoughts are evil if shared in real words, and they are afraid of being easily trapped by a therapist under spell of forceful id impulses. They even express that clinician may use their psyche as a tool for criminal activity under a spell. Mostly, certain highly educated female clients who are born in a strict cultural irrational belief system, religious taboos, and strong family grip with restrictions and guilt feelings, keep on storing their natural instincts which turn out to be the over-ruling force that they develop illusory thoughts and delusions projected in the form of abnormal thinking with personality disorder. Such clients knowingly fail to disclose the real self under anxiety of losing self-control and project that others may be noticing their covert thoughts but are helpless to stop it. They are even reluctant to talk face-to-face, hide their inner feelings and call just to express their suffering in hidden words (symbols), and over-concerned about privacy that someone may hear or record it to blackmail them. 

During the session, some clients who are looking for an ideal parent figure or life partner, etc., develop a deep, sentimental bond of dependency. So, progress is converted into a personal emotional tie. It becomes a hard task when a client refuses to separate as an independent entity as he takes it as a lifelong reality. Such clients keep on bothering the therapist’s daily personal life by repeatedly calling, asking for personal decisions on minute issues, sharing emotions for mutual excitement, offering for self-pleasure and outings, etc. In such situations, the client’s behavior becomes a public reputation issue for the clinician who sticks to professional ethics and a mutual contract. A dual game of saving the client’s mental health from direct refusal and serving a needy person requires tactful therapeutic modes and systematic desensitization techniques.
