Notes to Therapists and Group Facilitators
If, for example, you're working with a client who has what could be classified as "an eating disorder," you can use the food section to help the client asses their own sense of what the meaning of that behavior is.
The most important thing is to remember that this is their process. It's not about fixing anybody. It's about giving people tools to help see and perceive what's going on in their own lives.
If you're running a support group, this provides a great many more opportunities for personal growth. The initial survey, for example, doesn't need to be written. It can be done using a group exercise. The group could be given a set of percussion devices or other noisemakers, and asked to use them to make sounds to indicate agreement with the statements. This tends to open up dialogue and allow for sharing of information.
There is, of course, no limit to the specific questions included in this workbook. Good facilitators can devise questions of their own which are appropriate to the group.
