What is 'reflection' in therapy?

It sounds like you are talking about a counselling technique. It would be listening to a clients responses and clarifying them for the client by summarizing major points and clarifying what client is feeling. In doing so you are allowing the client to explore there own feelings and actions without making them defensive because you are not telling them what to do but merely redescribing what they are saying. IT makes them feel they are heard and understood.

Group therapy or self-help for DID is generally inadvisable.  This may result in the emergence of more alters.  The best treatment is Psycho-therapudic sessions with the goal of fusing the alters together.

I participate in group thereapy at a private practice that specializes in CBT.  There are 8 participants, where we all attend one-on-one sessions, based on a structured therapy plan.\nThe group, combined with my one-on-one session provide the fundamental support I need to build knowledge and strength in dealing with problems that I previously refused to deal with or just didn't know how to.  \n\nDid you find it helpful?\nSaying it's helpful is not doing it justice, it's life changing.\n\nWhat did you like about it?\nThe group provides 4 benefits for me personally;\n\n1.  The group provides a safe forum for me to verbalize my problems.  For me, letting it out if very relieving, where the pain I experience mentally isn't tangible, verbalizing it is the closing thing I can do to identify it and start dealing with it.\n\n2.  Once I put my problems out there, I get feedback from the Dr's and participents.  I may or may not get information that is beneficial, but getting different information from different people with different perspective acts in opening your options in dealing with your problems.  The feelings I dread the most are ones of desperation, when there seems like there are no options.  This leads into number 3.\n\n3.  Identifying your pains with experiences from other people is also cleansing.  When other partisipents share their experience, I feel bonded and identify with my issues on a human level.  Having bonded with someone whose experiencing similar issues validates the issues are not necesarrily my fault and effect others, not just me.  This helps me take some of the blame off of myself, where punishing yourself is very harmful to your well being.\n\n4.  Providing feedback to others in similar situation.  There's an altruistic feeling I get from lending advice or sharing an experience that may help somone else.  It feels great and elevates my moods.\n\nThese are all fundamental items in building understanding and tact in dealing with the issues at hand.\n\nWhat did you dislike about it?\nThe only thing I dislike about the group is when a participant doesn't take it seriously or doesn't want to be there, but is forced to be there.  This becomes a huge distraction and deteriorates the theraputic value a group can give.\n\nWhat did you dislike about it? Is there anything you would have wished to know ahead of time, but did not?\nThere's really nothing you can learn or do ahead of time, as opening up about your problems to a group of strangers is not very easy for most people.  It will seem a bit edgy in the begining, but over a few sessions, you get comfortable, build repore and recognize the structure of the group and find a way to fit in.\n\nHow often did you attend, and for what duration?\nI attend twice a week, where each session is 90 minutes.\n\nWere there any issues in particular it was effective for? Any issues in particular you found it to be ineffective for?\nThis group targeted substance abuse for young professionals in their 20's.  I found it to be very effective in helping me develop strength to live my life in a healthy way, without letting substances interfere or cause negative consequences.   Since I came for substance abuse only; there's nothing I can say was inefective about the program.

Ha!  I know just what you mean.  Basically a reflective surface reflects everything and most everything is visible depending on your position in relation to the object.  For example, an object held behind your back can be seen by a person standing in front of you if they change their position slightly.  It is a fascinating and wonderful phenomenon.

In my opinion , this implies the benefit of reflection on ones learning to be that we may not forget. Most of the things we learn from day to day simply become a habit that we could accomplish in our sleep . This is a practice you can see every morning as people commute to work. Some are half asleep and some continuing to get ready for work as they drive a car at top speed. Reflecting or remembering what we have learned reminds us of the other important things in life that we shouldn't forget although we still sometimes forget those as well. As I wrote this answer , a thought came to mind on this subject. The people , places and things that are involved in these learning experiences can be of fond memories and a very nice way to pass the time.......thinking......remembering .......

A reflective commentary is sort of a short essay that basically tells the reader about the author (writer) of the article.  It is written in the first person because it's you.  If you've ever read a book of fiction, sometimes the author tells you why they wrote the book.  Dean Koontz sometimes does that and I love it.\n\nIf this is for a class, the teacher probably wants to get a better understanding of how or why you wrote this essay, article, ect.\n\nA good commentary (giggle) on reflective commentaries is on this website:  http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~e101comp/literacies/ReflectiveCommentary.html\n\nGood Luck with your project.

This is an interesting question. Therapists frequently use a little mirror.  They get it cold, and touch it right in a certain part of your throat to evoke a certain response over and over.  So yes, it is an exercise.  \n\nIt is one of many exercises that they coach patients through.  I also cannot be sure this is what you saw on Dateline.  You may have also seen a little scope that they use to see where they otherwise could not.  But your description is pretty specific, so I doubt it.  \n\nI misssed the Dateline on PD (a cardinal sin for someone who blogs on PD).  I will do more research and blog on it at www.MyParkinsonsInfo.com.

The definition of counseling at times very much depends on the counselors theoretical orientation, or in other words, the framework in which they operate.  For instance, Person Centered Counseling, created by Carl Rogers states that humans tend to have the capacity to better themselves and just need a nurturing environment with the qualities of sincerity, unconditional acceptance, and empathy to do so.  So in the case of a counselor who has a Person Centered orientation to counseling, their aim might be to provide a safe and accepting environment during counseling to give the client the chance to explore their own world freely and without bias from others.\n\nOther types of therapy have other ways of approaching things.  Cognitive Therapy, for instance, created by Aaron Beck states that humans are free thinkers that at times tend to believe irrational thoughts about themselves and the environment.  They tend to learn these things through their experiences.  For instance, a female who was raped might think, "All men will hurt me."  A Cognitive therapist will attempt to dispute these irrational thoughts through discussion and dialogue as well as through guided introspection of the client.  They first do this by getting to know their client and their client's view of the world and then discussing these irrational thoughts with their client.\n\nThere are alot of other orientations out there with different objectives and aims.  I think any good counselor's goal, however, is to provide their client with the proper life tools that will empower their client to do things that they feel are right for themselves and to provide thoughts and choices that perhaps the client has never thought of before.

It sounds like you are talking about one of the most common aspects of the therapeutic relationship -- Freud called it Transference.  When the feelings are love or erotic, it may be called "erotic transference."  \n\nThis website looked interesting.  I have no personal knowledge of the author or his work, but it appears to be on the level.  http://www.guidetopsychology.com/questions/erotic_transference.htm

Reflection essays express you own feelings an attitudes, your own experiences.  Think of a mirror.  this essay will be you relating yourself to the topic.  I have done several in conjunction with books or poltical topics. say your essay is on how music has shaped the twenty first century youth culture ofr some such.  You would take that topic and explain how you are personally influence in you behavior attitudes and experiences by this topic.  If the essay was not reflective you would not include any personal refrences, only published creditable sources.  In this case you and your life are your only source ( or maybe the book or movie she wants you to reflect on)  They are not that bad,  so just take a deep breath and write down all experiences you have that you can think of with the given topic.  Narrow that down two two to three depending on the length of the essay.   if the essay is two pages types double spaced three would be good. be sure to describe, explain and relate.  Describe the event, explain what it meant, relate it to the topic.  These can be done in various orders and manytimes similtainously.  Lastly find a good solid quote that is topical to sart you essay and maybe another to finish it.  \ntips\n1. write intro and conclusion at the same time.  both are very similar and will contain the same info.\n2. do not introduce new info during conclusion, conclusion reminds them what you have already told them.  \n3. outlines work great to help with flow and transition see your ideas and how they mesh on paper before you begin writing.\n4. read you paper out loud, to someone/ to a mirror it doesn't matter. just reading it aloud will help you find spelling and grammer mistakes as well ashelp you hear flow.\n5. If you need more help ask you teacher alot of peer tutors will help and also sometimes the teacher willl take a look before you hand it in for final grade.\n\ni hope i was a help
