So why do it?
- When learning any skill, observation, feedback an rehearsal
are required to effect change. For example professional tennis
players...
- Moving from conscious incompetence through conscious competence to
unconscious competence.
- Increasing self-awareness by showing yourself and getting feedback -
remember the Johari window.
- Emotions occur during the consultation - remember
Balint's model - and it
is helpful to learn to handle these emotions safely for ourselves.
- Having to "do it right" is a hangover from our undergraduate
teaching. The opposite of competent is not incompetent, it
is in training.
- Safety will increase within the group as the group moves from a "normed"
group to a "performing" group - this move requires individual group
members to take personal risks.
- There is a mindset shift from feeling uncomfortable to using the
skills in the group members to help you to learn. This then becomes true
adult learning.
- You get out what you put in...
