(P/1-5) THE PORTFOLIO OF A CLIENT IN THE PRESENT ERA OF SELF-CENTERED WORLD

As human beings have limitations to diagnose pending on the factual data provided in a session, if a person does not trust or disclose the inner self, complexes and has not gone through testing and regular face to face interaction, even an angel cannot find the facts without the will of God. How can a therapist know why a person is following him for some unknown needs, goals and wishes but all at once after a year of deep communication, drop on a note to point out faults in a clinician?

It is a psychological challenge to handle clients with predisposition, irrational belief system, stored aggression, sadistic tendencies, self-projection, suicidal ideation, low self-esteem and self-torturing tendencies, guilt-oriented and self-punishing obsessive thoughts, ritualistic trends as solution to environmental problems, unrealistic goals with impractical objectives, short cut techniques for deep-rooted complexes, judgments about people or objects, unnecessary concern and uncertainty in people and world affairs, overworrying without action about future, under severe grip of cultural hold over self-correction, perceiving other ugly without realizing and resolving jealousy or aggression, moody in company.

In fact, human thinking is interwoven chain of thoughts depending on the storage of memory with moods. Under the law of association, words generate the chains of repressed thoughts. If a client has lost control on his cognitive functioning power, he is at the mercy pf intense thoughts with linked feelings. For instance, when someone is in love with a beloved, he focuses and feels according to the inner thinking pattern (personal world) and is lost in memory of the beloved residing miles away. He even becomes a poet or artist who perceives spring like a gloomy autumn. He has elaborated thoughts for that person, mostly loses appetite, sleep and routine life activities of a peaceful life. Mostly, his built-in computer with an abnormal frequency feels everything negatively, cries with disturbed songs under desperation and suicidal ideation. Most of the poetry, film songs, novels, fine arts, etc., are the creation of such creative negative thinking as the sadist feel a soothing state in this process.                                                                            

Clinically, the gap between now (thinking) and then (full action to relieved) is called time of anxiety and psychic confusion. A plan is a theory or fantasies (pains or anxieties) till activated repeatedly in a person to turn it into practical achievement for mental satisfaction and relief in sufferings. The client has to come out of the self “cocoon” and listen and feel, by cutting doubts or discussions (defense or arguments, delays or priorities) of I or your territories. Rather, above all activate basis only WE as a built-in unit within the personal spaces, committed to sharing pure intact reservoir of feelings. Personally, get involved in charging and recharging (Psychologically called a rapport prior to establishing deep hypnotic state, i.e., love, respect, belongingness, security, deep trust) each one for the bond for mutual fruitful results. Feeling proud over the bond and enriching it with maximum time in participating in one-to-one level interaction (meetings) for a “durable, peaceful, soothing life.”

Only for clinical output a client should, within boundaries and professional ethic, take the therapist as an ideal person whom he can blindly trust that he will not be betrayed, as the therapist is equipped with knowledge of how to cut the rigidity by reaching up to the same mental level. For altered state of mind or client’s internal wish to be hypnotized for a peaceful solution is dependent on the same level of friendship and frequency. So, the client should not be confused in this process and waste time in games rather for his own mental health, either fully endorse it for practices or come out openly to reject it without any reservation. It is necessary for both peace and activating toward the set goals for an integrated IDEAL UNIT. One cannot build castles in the air. Mutual level of needs and sincerity demands full support with each other’s good intensions.

At times, client try to develop a mental bond through media communication: it is hard to explain or understand other’s delicate feelings through e-mail as the words do not show the non-verbal feelings or facial expressions. So, the sole solution left is one-on-one interaction by psychic frequency and same mental caliber with individual respect and exchange of feeling under trust and confidentiality. It is suggested to avoid such practices as they are harmful for the sensitive, confused clients. There is great possibility of misinterpreting the signals when they are not properly conveyed. So, it creates hundreds of complication or confusions, rather than deepening the already created bond. If the client does not understand the therapist, the client may be right on his ends as he never disclosed himself or whatever the therapist got in one meeting was incomplete.

During the process, prior to starting the therapeutic sessions, some clients play roles to trick or check the therapist’s knowledge and professional skills, to grab technical knowledge for their own practices among the friends. Some are overloaded with information but when derailed in anxiety, become serious clients. A few without resolving their inner self, try to be self-clinicians and turns critical over self-assessment techniques. Others enter the therapy seriously but hold valuable information and when cross-questioned, look for another favorable therapist like shopping seriously but returning home with empty hands. Some force therapists to follow their pleas and not reach the hidden guilt feeling; they often turn aggressive to an insulting level but reappear after weeks to restart from point zero; with unstable moods, they restart without changing the inner self on an old road with an old car without overhauling the engine or combustion, etc. It is worth consideration that he is under flow of pain and suffering and trapped in chains of thought, so he keeps on shifting to one point. Under such circumstances, it is hard to issue step by step to reach the destination. A clever client is controlled by an intriguing unconscious force which never likes to lose grip for a normal mental functioning system. It is a big professional challenge to handle such a crisis in which overt and covert variables are ruling a mentally sick person. Certain clients who have fanciful thinking patterns become reluctant to take responsibilities or follow an activity chart by making lame excuses and putting burden on the other’s shoulders. The same obsessive client looks for lacuna to justify that they are helpless to follow a designed activity chart by indulging in the conversation of ifs and buts. They wish to remain in denial to see the ground reality and face hardships of the cultural pressures as a defense mechanism. Prompting with short goals makes it easy for them to come out of the chain of ideation.

Some are referred by friends or other physicians, brought by a family member, visit after reading an article, very few look for self-analysis for innovation, others rush for emergency session under the spell of manic depression.
