{"product_id":"core-value-therapy-9780975785812","title":"Core Value Therapy","description":"\u003cp\u003eCore value therapy started with a client of mine in early 2007. The\u003cbr\u003e client came for anger management and kept mentioning people kept\u003cbr\u003e pressing their button. I made a circle on the white board and said, 'we\u003cbr\u003e are going to find this button'. This began a conversation about what\u003cbr\u003e bothered them about other people's actions towards them. What was\u003cbr\u003e revealed was a value word.\u003cbr\u003e I observed in clients that their particular value was influencing\u003cbr\u003e their anger. For example, clients would say, 'I don't like it when other\u003cbr\u003e people disrespect me and don't accept what have to say.' This may not\u003cbr\u003e sound like some amazing revelation, as we can all relate to hearing\u003cbr\u003e clients say these sorts of things. The critical discovery I have made\u003cbr\u003e with statements like this, is clients do not actually hear the majority of\u003cbr\u003e these value words. For example, in the above statement, the value\u003cbr\u003e words 'respect' and 'acceptance'. Assisting clients to discover, connect\u003cbr\u003e with and take charge of their value words is now known as 'Core\u003cbr\u003e Value Therapy'.\u003cbr\u003e Key aspects of Core Value Therapy\u003cbr\u003e One key aspect of Core Value Therapy is listening for value\u003cbr\u003e words in stories which have made clients feel strong feelings mainly feelings such as anger, becoming annoyed or offended. These\u003cbr\u003e stories are embedded with values. These values influence a client's\u003cbr\u003e behaviour, thoughts and emotions.\u003cbr\u003e Once a client discovers their core value they improve remarkably\u003cbr\u003e well in their emotional regulation when applying the core value to\u003cbr\u003e themselves in situations distressing to them. It is very much like the\u003cbr\u003e core value is the centre of the problem and then becomes the answer\u003cbr\u003e to that problem. In this way it tends to shift the 'locus of control' from\u003cbr\u003e the other person back to themselves.\u003cbr\u003e Another key aspect of Core Value Therapy is the acknowledge\u003cbr\u003e ment that clients do not hear themselves say their core value\u003cbr\u003e words despite saying them very frequently. Clients' core values are\u003cbr\u003e hidden from their conscious mind. Therefore, they are operating\u003cbr\u003e from an unconscious state. Many clients have told me they do not\u003cbr\u003e know why they get angry and can't make sense of it. The moment the\u003cbr\u003e value is revealed it makes sense to them what is going on and they\u003cbr\u003e begin to see the world completely differently, through a different lens.\u003cbr\u003e When clients apply their value correctly to themselves and to\u003cbr\u003e others, they report increase in self-esteem, improvement in relation\u003cbr\u003e ships and stabilisation of emotion regulation. This approach is\u003cbr\u003e explained in more detail in the 'Clinician Techniques for Core Value\u003cbr\u003e Therapy' section.\u003cbr\u003e For most practitioners, when we hear the clients' stories on a daily\u003cbr\u003e basis, we get engrossed in the circumstances and details of that story, \u003cbr\u003e want to know what is going on, focus on their feelings and focus on\u003cbr\u003e solutions. All this is good and worthwhile while we often miss the\u003cbr\u003e main point. The main point is found in what types of value words the\u003cbr\u003e client uses to tell their story. It represents the meaning of the story to\u003cbr\u003e them. Over ten years practising Core Value Therapy, I have observed\u003cbr\u003e clients use countless different value words. I do not interpret that\u003cbr\u003e value word, change it or put my own spin on it.\u003cbr\u003e Most practitioners who attend Core Value Therapy training state\u003cbr\u003e they have to learn to listen differently to their clients from now on\u003cbr\u003e and will need to expand their vocabulary on what constitutes a 'core\u003cbr\u003e value word'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Andrew Nancarrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwest Counselling Service Tasmania\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780975785812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Australian Languages","brand":"Northwest Counselling Service Tasmania","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40429261389939,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":22.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_1f490458-3121-4eae-9479-3c2ff71141df.jpg?v=1662731947","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/core-value-therapy-9780975785812","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
