The Therapy Show - Behind Closed Doors.

In this episode we discuss the topic of script backlash and how therapists can navigate it in the therapy room. We delve into the idea that when someone goes against their scripted beliefs, they may experience a negative reaction. The importance of timing in therapy is emphasised, as well as the need for therapists to spend enough time understanding a person's history before attempting to facilitate change. The type of therapy mentioned is long-term developmental work, which can extend up to several years. This approach focuses on a developmental inquiry that helps both the therapist and the client feel validated and understood. The concept of "script backlash" is introduced, and the hosts share personal experiences and insights they have gained from their own therapy journeys. Transaction analysis and the concept of "script" are explored, with references to Eric Berne's work. We highlight the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and understanding. While the hosts acknowledge that their approach may not be suitable for all therapists, they believe in the power of exploring the layers of issues for long-term results. In conclusion, this episode provides valuable insights and strategies for therapists in dealing with script backlash and the importance of understanding a client's history, creating trust in therapy, and working towards meaningful and lasting change.
