psychological contact
π©ββ€οΈβπ©
The counsellor experiences
unconditional positive regard
for the client π
The counsellor experiences an
empathic understanding
of the client's internal frame of reference and endeavours to communicate this experience to the client. π
The
communiation
to the client of the counsellor's
empathic understanding
and
unconditional positive regard
is to a minimal degree achieved π
Counsellors facilitate the OVP and assist clients in hearing their own inner voice
The
locus of responsibility
for the
direction of the therapy
is with the client rather than with the therapist π―

Self Determination Theory
π·
Ways in which extrinsic motivations become integrated with conditions of worth π·
#
External regulation
π
eg
. doing something out of fear of punishment
Introjected regulation
π
eg
. doing something to avoid feeling guilty
Identified regulation
π
eg
. doing something because the values are recognised
Offering people extrinsic rewards for behaviour that is intrinsically motivated
undermines the intrinsic motivation
as they grow less interested in it (
reduction of autonomy
)π π¬ π«
Other external factors, such as deadlines, which restrict and control, also
decrease intrinsic motivation
(
reducing people's need for autonomy
) π¨πΎβπ¨
Increasing the client's
options and choices
increases their intrinsic motivation to said activities (
fulfiling people's need for autonomy
) π© πͺ π₯
Giving people
unexpected positive feedback
on a task increases intrinsic motivation to do it (
fulfiling people's need for competence
) π
