Making links of knowledge and skill with preferred ways of being
Level 1: Discovering responses and actions What did you do when you were scared? How did you comfort yourself after being beaten? After the abuse, did you do anything that helped lessen the effect? Level 2: Making links of responses with knowledge and skills How did you learn to do that? What name would you give to this skill? Level 3: Making links of knowledge and skill with preferred ways of being What do you think of yourself as an individual who knew how to keep yourself safe? What does it tell us about the kind of person you are? Level 4: Rich description of responses which reflect values, skills and knowledge Can you recollect and share with me other instances you have used this skill? Do you remember the first time you used this method to comfort yourself?
