The Counseling Process for Individuals and Couples
The counseling process at PPC is distinct from the “Medical Model”; that is widely practiced in the USA.
Some points of contrast:
| Phoenix Process Consultants | Medical Model |
|---|---|
| * Starts with Relationship Building | * Starts with Diagnosis |
| * Assesses life struggles and difficulties | * Names disorder and “illness” |
| * Helps client set goals | * Treats with talk and Meds |
| * Helps client remove barriers to goals | * Helps client to cope |
| * Uncovers and converts self defeating beliefs | * Uses continuing sessions to maintain coping ability |
| * Uses personal holism and action to improve psychological life style and meet goals | * Continues treatment based on insurance plan dictates |
| * Bases future relationship on transition and future Wellness | * Return of “illness” sets future treatment |
