Rapport

Had to read up a bit on Rapport for examples of recent conversations to become clear to me, for using in my assignment. I am going to use three examples...

Conversation with Ann, one with Helen and one with Craig.

Ann called me to book a Reiki session, she was very distressed and said she had a decision to make and couldn't work out what to do.

We arranged a Reiki session and when she came round I did a Reiki with crystals treatment and then went on to try a technique I'd read about in an Avatar booklet called 'releasing fixed attention', the idea is to focus on the problem then change the focus to something in the immedieate vicinity...this leads to taking control of the problem and deciding when it should receive attention and be thought about.
I found myself coaxing Anne into talking about her problem then getting her to talk about the Faerie photos I had to hand as a diversion.

The conversation progressed amiably, with Anne needing to be encouraged to define her options and realise that if she looked at the time scale of things she didn't need to make any hard decisions right now, she just needed to start the ball rolling.
