learning
Erickson said so helpfully that all problems are learnt limitation.
So, if problems are learnt, then they can be unlearnt or new behaviours can also be learnt.
First, learning is possible is a process that has to be learnt. If resignation can be earnt, then possibilities can also be learnt.
This transforms change can relieve pressure from client and therapist.
A young woman was in a psychiatric hospital because of her “anorexia” but continued to lose weight. Her brother got her out with the warning that he was signing her death warrant though their treatment was making her worse. Over time she learnt to have a different relationship with her body. She learnt to change her body image. It sook time, but when she accepted that there was no pressure, the change happened so this resulted her becoming “normal”.
What problems have you learnt?
How do you learn other things?
What do you notice when you try this out?

I’m beginning to pay attention to learning cues that I previously ignored and made invisible
