Last night, we had supervision in our Aspire Clinic practicum class. We had a very interesting session where our therapy viewing team did a reflecting team with one of the clients. Because there was equipment malfunctioning, we went inside the room to sit with the client and the therapist to provide the feedback.
During the feedback process, I learned a lot about myself, my life, and how I can use the sharing sessions for my own growth and benefit. Kayla spoke about the difference between people's choices to go on a diet or different diets or different things they would like to try but fail to make a life style change that is comparable with the change they hope to make. In other words, instead of making choices that are different, what if people made life style choices that make desirable choices more attainable? And may be such choices you make will be around you for the long term.
This was interesting to me. We often tell clients to make changes to their schedule, work out more often, and other homeworks. How much are we influencing their lifestyle changes? Is it ethical to influence such changes in their lives? Exercise and the decision to be conscious of your own behavior and how that relates to your wellbeing is the start of a life style change. One is automatically committing to a greater sense of awareness and investment from one's own part to make exercise work.
What are the cascades of changes that one can expect from it? What other changes can you make in your overall life style to be better take care of yourself? Are there rules that successful people who commit to a healthy life style follow? If so, what are these rules? I know a friend who has a reward system. She will not eat sweets or related items during the week but one week on Friday, she would do it. I realized this is similar to rules we all can develop about exercising and taking care of ourselves. So, has this assignment helped each one of us think more about lifestyle changes overall or change in one particular behavior?
