Document Summary

Said the struggle of therapy can be described with words such as: evolving, struggling, transforming, adjusting, unfolding. See that therapy is dynamic: daughter once woke up in middle of the night and said there are dragons in my room. Welch said dragons do not belong here and i"m going to make a spray to keep them away. Became a ritual and daughter"s friend insisted on welch"s spray to get rid of his dragons. Did not adapt instead changed the environment and made tunnels in the garden so he could garden from wheelchair: family therapy is huge because the family environment is so influential. If family is screwed up, person will not emerge completely unscathed. Congruence is that your nonverbal and verbal language match, so must say what you mean: make the messages appropriate for the receiver"s frame of reference, such as modality.
