Frank Farrelly – Provocative therapy (Cocky & Funny)

For anyone that uses cocky & funny in their game, listen to this. This is where David D. got cocky & funny from. This is an interview with Frank Farrelly, the founder of provocative therapy. As you will notice provocative therapy is very similar to cocky & funny.  Provocative Therapy is a system of psychotherapy in which the therapist plays the devil’s advocate, siding with the negative half of the client’s ambivalence toward his life’s goals, his relationships, work and the structures within which he lives.The therapist also plays the Satanic role by facetiously agreeing with the doom and gloom feelings and expectations of the client, and “tempting” him to continue his “sinning,” his self-defeating attitudes and behavioral patterns.The purpose of this therapy is to change the client. One of the therapist’s main tools to implement this change is warm-hearted humor in its varied forms — exaggeration, irony, self-deprecation, Daliesque absurdities, etc.With a twinkle in his eye, a smile playing about his lips, and genially employing the style of affectionate banter between friends, the therapist uses humor both to sensitize and desensitize the client to problematic cognitive, affective, and behavioral patterns. This is the key to Provocative Therapy — humor. Jocular, whimsical, caring, supportive humor.format is Realmedia.
