<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Core Value Therapy is a model that helps a client discover their unconscious values that drive their thoughts, emotions and behaviours.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Core value therapy started with a client of mine in early 2007. The<br /> client came for anger management and kept mentioning people kept<br /> pressing their button. I made a circle on the white board and said, 'we<br /> are going to find this button'. This began a conversation about what<br /> bothered them about other people's actions towards them. What was<br /> revealed was a value word.<br /> I observed in clients that their particular value was influencing<br /> their anger. For example, clients would say, 'I don't like it when other<br /> people disrespect me and don't accept what have to say.' This may not<br /> sound like some amazing revelation, as we can all relate to hearing<br /> clients say these sorts of things. The critical discovery I have made<br /> with statements like this, is clients do not actually hear the majority of<br /> these value words. For example, in the above statement, the value<br /> words 'respect' and 'acceptance'. Assisting clients to discover, connect<br /> with and take charge of their value words is now known as 'Core<br /> Value Therapy'.<br /> Key aspects of Core Value Therapy<br /> One key aspect of Core Value Therapy is listening for value<br /> words in stories which have made clients feel strong feelings mainly feelings such as anger, becoming annoyed or offended. These<br /> stories are embedded with values. These values influence a client's<br /> behaviour, thoughts and emotions.<br /> Once a client discovers their core value they improve remarkably<br /> well in their emotional regulation when applying the core value to<br /> themselves in situations distressing to them. It is very much like the<br /> core value is the centre of the problem and then becomes the answer<br /> to that problem. In this way it tends to shift the 'locus of control' from<br /> the other person back to themselves.<br /> Another key aspect of Core Value Therapy is the acknowledge<br /> ment that clients do not hear themselves say their core value<br /> words despite saying them very frequently. Clients' core values are<br /> hidden from their conscious mind. Therefore, they are operating<br /> from an unconscious state. Many clients have told me they do not<br /> know why they get angry and can't make sense of it. The moment the<br /> value is revealed it makes sense to them what is going on and they<br /> begin to see the world completely differently, through a different lens.<br /> When clients apply their value correctly to themselves and to<br /> others, they report increase in self-esteem, improvement in relation<br /> ships and stabilisation of emotion regulation. This approach is<br /> explained in more detail in the 'Clinician Techniques for Core Value<br /> Therapy' section.<br /> For most practitioners, when we hear the clients' stories on a daily<br /> basis, we get engrossed in the circumstances and details of that story, <br /> want to know what is going on, focus on their feelings and focus on<br /> solutions. All this is good and worthwhile while we often miss the<br /> main point. The main point is found in what types of value words the<br /> client uses to tell their story. It represents the meaning of the story to<br /> them. Over ten years practising Core Value Therapy, I have observed<br /> clients use countless different value words. I do not interpret that<br /> value word, change it or put my own spin on it.<br /> Most practitioners who attend Core Value Therapy training state<br /> they have to learn to listen differently to their clients from now on<br /> and will need to expand their vocabulary on what constitutes a 'core<br /> value word'.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>It has been some time since we have seen an effective technique devel<br /> oped and evolve in such a way that is easily explained to clients and<br /> easily understood by clients. The experiential nature of Core Value<br /> Therapy (CVT) provides a real-time grounding for those who have<br /> accurately identified their core value through CVT and experience<br /> this grounding as a comfort. No longer is it an unpleasant, unsettling<br /> set of emotions but an awareness of one's own aroused core value.<br /> Arousal is progressively reduced as the use of CVT principals are<br /> adopted. Extinction of arousal is also possible with intentional appli<br /> cation. CVT has an easy to understand rationale and is truly a tech<br /> nique that can stand alone, beside or integrated into any therapist's<br /> existing models or practice.<br /> Your clients will thank you.<br /> Thank you David for this wonderful gift.
