QuestionAnswer
3 ways in which acupuncture skills are useful Patient rapport, better observation, assessing inappropriate emotion
Why rapport generates trust Patient feels you understand them
3 things determined by the depth of rapport Quality of information given by patient, quality & depth of change patient experiences, accurate assessment of emotion
What matching is Adjusting behaviour / expressions to be similar to your patient
What matching does Creates unconcious 'agreements' > builds trust > increases patient receptiveness & responsiveness
10 areas to match Posture, breath, tempo, representational system, phrase & word, gesture, voice, values, mental filters, language patterns & metaphors
4 areas of posture to match lower body, upper body, head, face
Stages of emotion testing 1-rapport, 2-opportunity, 3-emotion choice, 4-setting up, 5-delivery, 6-observation, 7-notation
The test of rapport Extent to which someone will allow you to lead / direct them
What the structure of an emotion refers to Factors that need to be present for the patient to naturally experience an emotion
2 things required for good 'delivery' in an emotion test Geniune & congruent expression of feeling from tester, be short & stop
3 types of responses to emotion tests Normal, inappropriate, hiding another emotion
2 things to notate in emotion testing Type of test, judgement of patient response
Emotion testing is done . . . Because you don't know, when you are in charge, in the patient's best interest
Angry brows & eyes Brows lowered & drawn together with vertical lines between, eyelids tense, lower lid may be raised, upper lid may be lowered, hard stare
Angry lips & jaw Lips pressed firmly together, jaw tense / jutting

Reassurance face Neutral
Reassurance posture Upright, straight spine, breathing low down
2 reasons why observing breathing is important Weak breathing indicates weak lungs, changes in breathing indicate changes of internal state
How breathing is matched directly Matcher breathes at same rate & depth as patient
How breathing is matched indirectly Matcher moves in sync with breathing (eg pressure of hand on patient's arm)
What a key gesture is Repetitive, comes at moments of excitement / stress, connected with significant recurring inner states
2 important things when matching a key gesture Be respectful: key gestures are powerful to match because they connect with significant internal states, match key gestures in their context
The intention of matching a key gesture Deepen rapport
We notice an emotion via . . . Gestures, posture, facial expression, voice tone, words
Metal CSEO White, weep, grief, rotten
Emotion can be experienced / expressed in . . . Feelings, thoughts, behaviour
2 things that are compared to assess Grief What was / might have been vs. what is now
Objects of grief (what was / might have been) Physical objects, status, a relationship, a function, an ability, a dream
Grief: what is now The current situation, from which something is experienced as missing
An alternative to assessing Grief Assess respect by articulating a Personal Inner Quality
PIQ Personal Inner Quality
What a PIQ is Attributable to a person, wothwhile (esp. with reference to a person's culture), Inner so they can plausibly take credit for it
When PIQs are often demonstrated Under difficult circumstances
How to find a PIQ Ask the patient to think of a difficult time / struggle
What Fire-Joy is associated with Interpersonal warmth, ability to share love, warmth & affection with other humans
Fire CSEO Red / lack-of-red, laughing, joy, scortched
What to give to assess Joy Congruent personal warmth, focus on a joyous activity (can they hold their joy?), natural lessening of joy
What to observe after giving congruent personal warmth Can the patient raise & maintain joy in themselves
The essence of congruent personal warmth "I like you. It's nice to be with you."
How to make focus on a joyous activity a good test Question the patient so they feel like they're engaged in the activity
How joy lessens naturally Once experiencing joy and stimulus is gone, joy recedes slowly in its own time
Inappropriate lessening of joy Joy disappears suddenly and drops into sadness
Earth CSEO Yellow, singing, sympathy, fragrant
Structure of sympathy 1-wound, 2-inner wound, 3-timing (recent/on-going), 4-can't be changed easily / not obviously the person's fault

What a 'future-fantasied violation' is Undesirable consequences we imagine are indicated by the 'threat'
What 'future-fantasied safety' is A safe situation imagined when the 'threat' no longer exists
What we need to give genuine reassurance Relevant information
3 distinctions with respect to Reassurance information What the patient knows, what you know, what other info may be available
