Wynne Jones, Ros (13 December 2003). "Grayson Perry on cross dressing and happiness as "Britain's pre-eminent transvestite" ". Daily Mirror. Perry was determined not to make her therapist an all-seeing, God-like figure. Sometimes, Pat finds her client difficult, even dislikable and sometimes, in their conversations, she seems merely to be feeling her way. "Therapy isn't about the therapist knowing more," she says. "It's more about the therapist being used to evacuations – no! that's the wrong word! – I mean excavations of the mind." Sepanjang buku, pembaca bakal dikasih suguhan narasi gimana praktik psikoterapi dilakukan. Memang nggak bisa covering all the "magic" things yg dilakukan psikoterapis. Namun bagiku, hal ini bisa kasih gambaran gimana tindakan kita masa kini ada pengaruh dari cara kita dibesarkan.

Though outwardly unusual, the two of them live an ordinary, rather cosy kind of a life. She describes it to me. Philippa spends her day with her patients and then flops down in front of Countdown; Grayson spends his day in his studio listening to Radio 4 and then comes hoping to chat, only to find she is all talked out. At weekends, they go to their cottage, where they grow vegetables. Their daughter, Flo, is 17 and is hoping to read chemistry at Durham University and they are preparing themselves for empty nest syndrome. Together, they are growing older. A few weeks ago, Grayson celebrated his 50th birthday with a big party, at which he treated guests to some advice he received from an elderly gentleman whom he met when he gave the annual William Morris lecture. After 50, he told the assembled company, "a man should never pass a lavatory, never trust a fart and never waste an erection". A graphic novel that explores the months-long encounter between London psychotherapist Pat and her client/patient/co-lead James, a successful barrister with an unhealthy compulsive addiction, Couch Fiction does a superb job of illustrating what exactly happens in a modern psychotherapy session. Perhaps conflict is difficult for you because you have difficulty in knowing what you feel. Conflicts are usually far more about how we each feel than they are about facts. There will be conflicts in any relationship as we all experience things differently. It’s better if we can think of differences, not so much as I’m right, they’re wrong, winning and losing, but as an opportunity to gain understanding of the other’s view point and to communicate how you feel about yours. Then, considering your and their feelings, work together for compromise. If conflict is completely avoided, not talked about, never aired, a relationship can shrink because, as subjects become taboo, it means there will be less and less to talk about and areas of loneliness creep in where each of you remain unseen. This is a graphic novella about one particular psychotherapy experience from the point of view of both parties. This rich English barrister is a secret kleptomaniac (nothing serious, just a little light shoplifting). It turns out that.. er.. it was because he wasn't telling people what he was feeling. As soon as he did so, and it took him a year, his Spanish girlfriend married him and he never stole anything again. The End. Perry has presented various documentaries including: Sex, Lies and Lovebites: The Agony Aunt Story ( BBC Four); [11] Being Bipolar ( Channel 4); [12] The Truth About Children Who Lie ( BBC Radio 4); [13] and The Great British Sex Survey ( Channel 4).

Review

As either a client or a therapist, if something pops into your mind, it may be worth sharing. Even if, on your own, you cannot see its relevance.

Includes some material adapted from the Ask Philippa columns in Observer Magazine. Read more Details Many clients report that naming the issue that brings them to therapy out loud for the first time can be a powerful experience, even overwhelming. Perhaps after learning to ride a bike we might try a unicycle, then hang-gliding? Or learning Arabic, or whatever it is that appeals. We tend to think stress is bad, but there is such a thing as good stress. This creates positive stimulation, pushing us to learn new things and to be creative, but not so overwhelming that it tips us into panic. Learning things causes us to form new neural connections and the more of these we have is probably for the better. If a part of your brain were to, God forbid, die off, the more neural connections you have, the sooner other parts of the brain could link up to go around the damaged part. So let’s get learning, make neural connections and gain new satisfaction from pastimes, skills, interests and erudition. Perry, Philippa (2009). "Relational marketing?".

Was it because I was going to write that it gives me the WILLIES but I didn't want to write the word WILLY because I don't want to draw attention to my WILLY which as you see I have now done? How rancidly ironic. I see I have subverted myself – again.
