S5: Ep8 - The one where Alex psychoanalysed Becky
In this episode, Alex - who is currently studying to become a professional counsellor, has recently been studying Freud and psychoanalysis and has been learning some Free Association and Visualisation Analysis techniques... so... decided she would use Becky as her lab rat this week!
.
Before we recorded, for the 'Free Association' section, Alex said a list of 9 words and Becky had to say the first 5 words that came in to her head. We didnt keep this in the edit because it took too long, but, for those of you who want to play along, here are the 9 words:
Sport
Surprises
Work
Pleasure
Friendship
Love
Sunshine
Father
Social media
.
Disclaimer: Alex is not yet a qualified counsellor but on a Level 3 Counselling course therefore we want to make it clear that this is NOT a representation of a counselling session, nor is Alex treating this as any form of mock counselling session. This is merely a very light hearted look at some of the fun exercises and tools used in psychoanalysis.
