Choice Theory Reality Therapy (CTRT)
Choice Theory, developed by Dr. William Glasser explains that our behaviour is driven by our own decisions and that relationships are key to how we act. We learn that the only person’s behaviour that we can control is our own and that we as individuals have a choice as to how to relate to others in any given situation.
Choice Theory teaches that we have seven caring behaviours: supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting and negotiating differences. To the contrary, we also have seven deadly behaviours that whilst they appear to work to some degree, can do us more harm than good and prevent us achieving our goals and happiness. These are: criticising, blaming, complaining, nagging, threatening, punishing, and rewarding/bribing to control.
At Aspire Counselling we can teach you how to make the best choices for yourself.
Lead Management
Lead Management is the use of choice theory in any situation where you have the responsibility to lead others. This can be applied in situations as diverse as managing workers, students, families, your own children, or even groups that you interact with and have an influential role.
Rather than using the coercive traditional approaches to management, this approach emphasises the creation of relationships, trust and using the concepts of reality theory to solve problems, and create fulfilling and happy environments and lives.
Lead Management is empowering for both the person practicing it and those that they influence. It will teach people to self-evaluate, make the correct choices, and achieve a quality of work and life.
Mindfulness
Being mindful is being consciously aware and focused of the present moment. There are two main catagories of Mindfulness treatments; Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
Both have very similar underpinnings but MBCT is askin to CBT (see above) in that is is focused on changing thoughts and actions. MBCT focuses on this in relation to minimizing unwanted thoughts, feeling and body sensations. It is primarily used to assist relapse and onset of Depression. MBSR has its focus on heightening ones attention and awareness of present Moments. It incorporates Buddhist principals of meditation with psychology, medicine and science to reduce individuals stress response and stimulate the relaxation response.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT is a future directed, solution focused therapy that focuses on an individuals goals. It endeavors to help clients reframe their problems to find solutions. It does not seek to delve deeply into past experiences as psychodynamic therapies do and may appeal to those who want a more targeted, brief counseling experience.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a psychotherapy that assists individuals to change how they think (Cognitive) and change what they do (Behavioral) in order to minimize undesirable symptoms. It is most commonly used in treating anxiety and depression but is effective in treating many issues as well. CBT helps individuals breakdown overwhelming issues into smaller, more manageable portions.
