Frontiers Friday #65. See What You Hear, Hear What You See (Part III)

Frontiers Friday #65. See What You Hear, Hear What You See (Part III)  

Though this part of the world doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, I wish ALL of you a happy Thanksgiving season.

I have a lot to give thanks for. One of them is for you being part of Frontiers of Psychotherapist Development. FPD has been around since 2014, and the content has growth slowly but surely over time. With that, I've also spoke to many of you either in person during my travels, or on video calls, and individual and team consults. I'm so appreciative of this. You have blessed me.

This week, we have 1 new blogpost, some useful drawings, and a reflection on how to make the hard things easy, and the easy things hard.

1. ✍️ From My Desk: Obsession with Map Finding 
   
   We have an obsession with map finding. We think that if we search hard enough, we will correct the map that we have, and/or find the right map to rule them all.
   

   

2. Default Practice vs. Deliberate Practice
   
   

   
   

   
   Look carefully at the differences in the 4 domains of both pyramids.
   One of the hardest process goals for therapist in getting towards their outcome goals is to shift from
   - Being dictated what is best for us to learn (i.e., course curriculum) to
   - Figuring out what you have to learn (i.e., individualised learning objectives, based on our zone of proximal development (ZPD) that actually has leverage on improving your outcomes. 
    

3. ☎️ From the Archives: What Does Deliberate Practice Look Like? 
   

   

   
   
   It's what you do "offstage" and "backstage".
   
    

4. Psychological Oxygen 
   

   

5. ⏸ Words Worth Contemplating:
   Compete with yourself and root for everyone else. ~ Candice Millard.
