Professional Practice & DevelopmentCuprins
- Keep in mind that your client may or may not know what SST is
- Keep in mind that you may see the client for one or more sessions. Be open to both possibilities
- Keep in mind that one session may be sufficient for the client
- Keep in mind that you need to use time wisely in SST
- Keep in mind that it is useful to invite your client to prepare for the session
- Keep in mind the importance of focusing on now and that change is possible now
- Keep in mind that you and your client should both be active in the session and collaborate with one another
- Keep in mind that it is possible to conduct a session without prior knowledge of the person. However, also keep in mind that your client may feel that, without you knowing certain things about them, you will not be able to help them.
- Keep in mind that not knowing is a key part of SST
- Keep in mind what you fail to keep in mind in SST
- Keep in mind that you should start therapy from the first moment, if possible
- Keep in mind that the session is complete in itself. It is not necessarily the prelude to anything
- Keep in mind that potentially, anyone can be helped in a single session. But also keep in mind that this does not mean that everybody will be helped
- Keep in mind that the client in front of you is a unique person, and not representative of a disorder
- Keep in mind that the client-therapist relationship can be established rapidly
- Keep in mind that it is critical that you are transparent with your client
- Keep in mind that the client is the expert in their own life. Thus, single-session therapy should be client-led
- Keep in mind that people are constantly changing
- Keep in mind that the client decides how much therapy they want
- Keep in mind that different clients will seek different forms of help from the session
- Keep in mind that you have plenty of time to do the work
- Keep in mind not to overload the client
- Keep in mind to keep your ego out of the way
- Keep in mind the importance of negotiating an end-of-session goal with the client
- Keep in mind the importance of co-creating a therapeutic focus and maintaining it once it has been created
- Keep in mind that, unless the client’s preference is to the contrary, a single-session therapy session requires a structure. It has a beginning, a middle and an end
- Keep in mind that a complex problem does not necessarily require a complex solution
- Keep in mind that your client has probably attempted to solve their problem before. Look for what has worked, even a little
- Keep in mind that the client has strengths, even though they may be hidden from view
- Keep in mind that the client probably has access to a range of potentially helpful external resources
- Keep in mind that if you expect change, it often happens.
- Keep in mind to focus first on what the client brings to the table
- Keep in mind the importance of offering the client the opportunity to hear what you can bring to the table if what is already on the table is insufficient to effect change
- Keep in mind to check to see if your client is discussing what they want to discuss
- Keep in mind that you will probably need to use different methods with different clients
- Keep in mind that it is important to remain hopeful and trust the client
- Keep in mind that if your client is seeking help for a problem, you will probably both need to be solution-focused
- Keep in mind the value of rehearsing a solution
- Keep in mind the value of action planning
- Keep in mind that all you may need to do is to get the client moving, and that small may be beautiful
- Keep in mind that change occurs in different forms
- Keep in mind the usefulness of asking your client to summarise the session as you reach the end of the session
- Keep in mind the helpfulness of encouraging your client to specify their takeaway(s) from the session
- Keep in mind the value of encouraging your client to generalize their learning, if possible
- Keep in mind that the benefits that your client derives from the session will be mainly achieved outside the session
- Keep in mind that the best time for your client to judge if they need more help is when they have had an opportunity to reflect on what they learned from the session, to digest this learning, to implement what they learned and to let time pass a little
- Keep in mind the importance of ending the session well so that the client leaves the session with their morale restored
- Keep in mind the value of taking nothing for granted in SST
- Keep in mind that it is OK if the client chooses to seek further help and it is OK if they don’t
- Keep in mind that every session provides you with the opportunity to develop as a single-session therapist
