Chris was eager to discuss a myriad of topics this morning. He presented with a bit of a melancholy demeanor as he began to share the first topic that was clearly at the forefront of his mind.
This allowed for expansion once again into the concepts of perspective taking, and presupposition.
This also afforded an opportunity to discuss aspects of emotional variability, and the correlation between emotional reaction and hypothetical "scenarios." Review of the familiar "How does your engine run" from the "Alert" literature was subsequently provided. Chris responded favorably, and shared " Oh yeah, Ms. Lynne, I remember the picture you put up in my room about that stuff." Topic transition within the session was supported with cues to allow for the provision of familiar transitional phrases.
Self-awareness steadily increased over the course of the session, as the need for cues to assist with topic transition diminished, as Chris subsequently utilized topic transition phrases to allow for
stronger segue 6 times. Speaker -speaker overlap was noted once again with increased frequency.
Familiar cues and supports were provided. Additionally, review of the dynamics related to conversational reciprocity was shared. Strong session.
