I was talking with other online counsellors and discussing the speed with which technology is changing and ways in which we all try to \u201ckeep up\u201d.\u00a0 One conclusion we came to was that we can\u2019t stay on top of everything! There is so much to know and only so many hours in the day. \u00a0\u00a0How to select what areas to focus on is challenging.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

One way to determine where to focus my learning and growth in technology could be following my clients\u2019 interests.\u00a0 Here\u2019s an example \u2013 in recent months I have had clients talk about their experiences in virtual reality and how those have impacted their daily life.\u00a0 While I have developed competencies in certain types of online counselling virtual worlds is something I don\u2019t know much about. Whether it\u2019s gaming or Second Life or other applications. \u00a0<\/p>\n

So I read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TILT (Therapeutic Innovations in Light of Technology) magazine often has articles that address \u201cvirtual reality\u201d and therapeutic applications. \u00a0The ways in which others use these virtual realities is intriguing though I have not yet tried any of them myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one that I might try. The most recent edition[1]<\/a> describes a new program called ProReal (www.proreal.co.uk<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0 ProReal is a program designed for coaches and therapists to use with clients to create virtual worlds.\u00a0 It\u2019s a way to do socio and psychodrama virtually. The client, along with a trained facilitator \u2013 \u201ccreates a 3D visual interpretation of a person\u2019s world through story, metaphor, symbols and social mapping.\u201d The idea is that the virtual landscape becomes \u201cthe visual interpretation of the client\u2019s world\u201d.\u00a0 \u00a0Fascinating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is a videoclip showing how it can be used in a therapeutic setting.\u00a0 I can see how useful a process and how rich a source of information it could be if this is the type of counselling you do. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
