Description
Coming to see a therapist is an act of courage, sometimes with hope and optimism, sometimes with desperation and fear. As a therapist, you want to help your clients get to a better place. To do so, you must reach into yourself and find substance to help them achieve fresh insights. As necessary, you must find techniques to help your clients remember and act on their deepened self-awareness in your sessions.
Uncovering Treasures That Matter (TTM) is a theme-based writing method to help your clients grow. A therapist can use this evidence-based protocol to help clients discover insights and new meanings in their self-discovery process. The TTM method blends the power of expressive writing, journaling, and life theme writing. It is direct and effective. Why? Stories are what people remember. Just as children are given fables, fairy tales, and parables because these types of stories convey crucial life guidance in the form of easy-to-remember stories, so can stories written and shared with a therapist help clients find clarity and meaning. Stories have been human beings' most reliable means of retaining and sharing information since our early origins.
You hold in your hands a turnkey workbook. We've provided everything you need, from how to use the TTM method with individual clients, couples, group sessions, and one-day workshops. There are 50 themes with sensitizing questions and prompts to help clients explore their issues through writing. Copy the pages you want your client to have and let them explore the questions. Here are their instructions:
"Ask yourself each question offered. Consider responding to a question(s) that makes you smile, that you are attracted to answering, and to one or two you don't like or want to turn away from. Facing what you don't like, or are uncomfortable with, is often a path to the most significant learning. These questions are guides to prime or stimulate your memories and thoughts about your life. The questions are not intended to be answered in a literal manner. Read through each of them and react to the one(s) that open windows for you. Each life is unique, and the priming questions impact each of us differently."
