Client’s lived experience |
So-called emerging topics |
| Boss = full of himselfWorry = tighteningMeeting = worst |
And my boss I’m supposed to tell their suggestion is bullshit that won’t help the company looks so full of himself. Like a general... In that moment, everything tightens in me and I’m just scared to tell him anything. And the worst this gets is when I have to say something at a meeting. My throat tightens and I can’t say a single word. Recently I have rather taken leave of meetings. |
Relationship with the boss Emotional and physical blockSignificance of meetingsTendency to avoid this |
| Ball = nauseaPeople = staring |
When we’re supposed to go to a ball I start to feel sick in my stomach and eventually stay at home. I guess I don’t want people to stare at me... |
Context of somatisation Benefits of avoidanceSignificance of audience |
| Father = strict, physical punishmentsSon = punk = deserves punishmentBeating in front of siblingsHatred towards fatherAnger at father |
My dad was strict, and when I did something wrong he would beat me up. I guess I deserved this, because I was a real punk, but he shouldn’t have belted me in front of my brother and my sister. At that moment I hated him. And now as I’m speaking about this I’m angry at him as well. |
Meaning of father’s behaviourDeserved punishmentSignificance of audience during punishment Emotions associated with father – hatred transformed into anger |
| Absence of kind fatherAdult son feels pity for his fatherFarm = hard workLittle time for children = beatingFather = a general |
But his dad was also not very kind. Now in hindsight I actually feel pity for him. They had a farm and he had to work hard. His dad didn’t have much time so if something happened, he threw a few punches at my dad and they carried on working. I guess he was brought up in a military way of sorts. |
Significance of replication of fathers’ behaviour Relating to father in the presentUnderstanding context Military upbringing |
| Father needed a participating fatherPresent father for father = interest of father in son |
My father probably needed a father who would spend more time with him, be more in interested in him and who wouldn’t just beat him like a madman. I guess our relationship would be different then. |
Father’s support – support for son |
