Try this little thought experiment: Take a piece of paper, and in the next 2-3mins, in no more than 2-3 paragraphs, write down your philosophy of what guides you in therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of us will struggle with this at first. But don\u2019t give up. Park some time in the coming days to articulate your guiding philosophy in therapy, and come back to this post.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s try another shorter thought experiment: Make up a title for a book on psychotherapy that you would go immediately to a bookstore to purchase.[1]<\/span><\/p>\n

Why am I suggesting for you to play around with the above exercises? Because you have to create your own first principles to guide what you do in therapy. In the previous blogpost, I highlighted the importance of <\/span>developing first principles before methods<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0While it is perfectly fine to borrow ideas or get inspired from different schools of thought, there comes a stage in your professional development that you need to develop a guided and reliable way of working in therapy (This is especially crucial if you are a clinical supervisor, as you would need to impart your wisdom to other therapists).<\/span><\/p>\n

We have some evidence that trying to model after another person doesn\u2019t translate to improved performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

In her last interview with Rich Simon, Virginia Satir was asked what she thought about neurolinguistic programming (NLP), which was modeled after her approach to therapy. Her response was, \u201cI would not want to learn NLP, if you want to know the truth. I am not sure I could learn it\u201d<\/span><\/i>[2].<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unless you are a towering figure coupled with nurturing warmth like Satir, trying to mimic her will only take you so far. Even Carl Rogers was quoted to have said that \u201cI\u2019m not a Rogerian.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Each individual\u2019s therapeutic style is an uncharted territory. More than an issue of personal style or theoretical orientation, it is vital to go one more step further, and articulate your first principles that are the pillars of your therapy home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Too often we are taught a methodology and how to deliver a particular approach without a clear gasp of its first principles (See Figure 1).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Figure 1. Bottom-Up Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we are trying to learn, we should be going the other way around. We should instead go down to the first principles of what informs the theoretical underpinnings and the methods and techniques involved in specific interventions (see Figure 2).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Figure 2: Top-Down Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

By reversing the process, we get to the operational level of first principles, we are then able to distill to the fundamental elements, and then choose whatever methods or approaches to deal with a particular situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Three Ways<\/span><\/h2>\n

I propose three avenues that you can use to develop first principles in your clinical practice that relates to your native context:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Challenging Situations;<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Mistakes, and<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Connecting with Mentors.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Challenging Situations:<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Comb through your work calendar, and call to mind the clients you\u2019ve seen over the last 2-4 weeks;<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Identify which consisted of challenging or difficult situations;<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Classify them. Give the scenarios a name (i.e., ambivalent, challenging your credibility, client with no goals);<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. In each of those situations that you\u2019ve classified, what were the default guiding principles that informed the way you interacted with your client?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      To get into the weeds, you might want to check out our Taxonomy for Deliberate Practice Activities (TDPA)[3] to help you spot a variety of challenges that you might face within the therapy hour.<\/span><\/p>\n

      2. Mistakes:<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Mistakes are a great way to develop sound principles of your own. Treat mistakes as puzzles to be solved.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Once you\u2019ve parked your ego aside, and see a mistake as a moment for recalibration and deep learning, you can go, \u201cwhat were the guiding principles that informed the way I interacted with this client?\u201d Once \u00a0you\u2019ve worked backward to derive at your first principles, you can then go, \u201cOkay. The next time when I\u2019m faced with this type of situation, then I would do this\u2026\u201d This is where a new guiding first principle can emerge.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s the truth about mistakes: It\u2019s really hard not to take it personally. I made a big blunder just yesterday in one of the sessions. I\u2019m still recovery from how silly I could be insensitive to a person\u2019s background by my choice of words. Here\u2019s the first principle I\u2019ve gleaned from this painful experience:Prime Myself just before the session with key markers to watch out for. Reason: I can\u2019t rely on my long term memory, and need the relevant information activated in my working memory. \u00a0Why is this a first principle for me? Because it\u2019s generalisable; this can be applied to many situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Keep this in mind (as I remind myself too): The key is not to ask yourself, \u201cWhat\u201ds wrong with me?\u201d but rather, focus on \u201cWhat can I learn from this situation?\u201d Because we are so heavily involved in the therapeutic work, the final point matters a great deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

      3. Connecting with Mentors<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Talk to your supervisors or your peers that you admire. (I wrote a previous post on this related topic, <\/span>Specific Ways to Develop a Portfolio of Mentors<\/span><\/a>. Do your best to dig a little deeper to understand the following: What are the first principles that organises this person\u2019s thinking and approach, or even the suggestions that they gave you?<\/span><\/p>\n

      In the previous post, I listed the reasons why we need first principles. To recap, \u201cFirst principles are GROUNDING IDEAS, not GROUND RULES. First principles are organised in a Form, not a Formula. A form gives you a rough guide on how to operate; a formula tells you a fixed rule on how you must operate.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

      The Importance of Retrieval<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Our craft matters less than our ability to ACCESS our craft. <\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      By explicating our first principles, we not only become cognisant of them, we have now CHUNKED them into succinct statements that can guide us in the future, especially when we most need them in challenging situations (therapy is one profession that is not short of challenges). We love to ascribe to the term \u201creflective practice,\u201d but reflection is of little use when we have nothing useful to feed back into our minds and feed forward into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Write down your first principles. Put a date on your writing, be it on a notebook or a writing application (see previous post on the importance of writing stuff down, <\/span>Develop Your Own Wealth of Learnings<\/span><\/a>and <\/span>Therapy Learnings: A Memorable Practice<\/span><\/a> )<\/span><\/p>\n

      ~~~<\/span><\/p>\n

      In my undergraduate years, I was lucky to be taught by psychologist Dr. Robert Closs. In our first lesson on Psychotherapy and Counselling, he put two of us behind a one-way mirror to observe the conversation. As I grew up as an very shy and introverted kid, by sheer force of will to counter my intuition, I raised my hands to give it a go. Due to the nerves, my memory of that event is a bit of a blur. What I remembered was the discussion after the exercise. Dr Closs asked the class, what made the conversation become alive? He provided the answer to his own question, \u201cIt\u2019s because they were talking about their interests.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

      Years later, though Dr Closs didn\u2019t quite say it this way, but the principle that resonates in my mind years later was this: \u201cFollow the Spark: People are interesting when you are interested. Go further by asking questions that convey your interest in the other person who is in front of you.\u201d This is not just lip service, or about \u201cstaying curious\u201d. This is a full intentional leaning in to learn more about the person, and to figure out what is life-giving, and what lights them up. This has guided me tremendously, especially in my first sessions<\/span><\/p>\n

      (NOTE: A forthcoming book is on the way with a chapter touching on this topic. The book is called<\/span>First Kiss: Undoing the Intake Model and Igniting Engagement in the First Session of Psychotherapy. <\/span><\/i>It addresses the persisting issue that majority of clients dropping out after the first visit.)<\/span><\/p>\n

      I\u2019d always remember this sign on Dr. Closs\u2019s door.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cThose are my principles, and if you don\u2019t like them\u2026 well, I have others.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

      ~ Groucho Marx<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      ~~~<\/span><\/p>\n

      In the next post, I will be taking this idea of first principles another step further on how you can apply first principles <\/span>prospectively <\/span><\/i>in your clinical work. I\u2019d discussed about The 5-Step Process for Deep and Accelerated Learning in Therapy. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s a sneak peak this 5-Step Process:<\/span><\/p>\n
