Therapeutic Application
Understanding the "Why" & "How"
Person: Why do I feel this way?
At the center of the Question, is You, a person, with real emotions, feelings, and a range of associated behaviors that words don’t fully explain. The expression of emotions and feelings varies as much as the people that try to express them. Trying to understand how to manage or overcome issues surrounding behavior comes down to a simple function:
What can YOU say to explain HOW you understand what the emotion or feeling is?
Observer: Why do they feel that way?
What is an observer? Its anyone interacting with the principal person being observed. This can range from a doctor, a therapist, a spouse, or a friend and everything in between. The observer in Dimensional Psychology is anyone elected to participate in the data collection. As a practitioner the complication comes down to a a slightly less simple function of interpreting:
How YOU can explain how THEY understood what the emotion or feeling is?
We need a better tool to communicate the common human experience.
Understanding the human experience is complex. But when the baseline attributes of experienced or observed feelings, emotions and behavior are synthesized into a usable set of data, or functional language, the foundation for common understanding is created. For decades, the problem with understanding the spectrum of feelings was essentially a gap of common language. What a person experiences, and what a practitioner explains comes from a variable of experiential and emotional aptitude.
Until there is a simple unified response, the subjective nature of the individual will always influence or modify the result. Dimensional Psychology breaks down the barriers of interpretation so that everyone interacting with the solution contributes to the mutual understanding of the experience in its most basic terms.
Connection Detection, What's Your Direction?
The Basic principle of communication is to connect an idea or thought to another with words, expressions, or actions. When connecting our thought to our feelings and emotions this becomes a more difficult task. The key to unlocking the information is in connecting the observable data to the conscious or unconscious feeling or emotion.
The need is not to develop a better tool for filtering the massive amount of data. The need is to make communicating and capturing the data easy, concise, and relatable by all consumers. The connections created from a usable language allow for improved communication, targeted relationship between the actions and the emotions and feelings. on the front end. The complication, science, statics, and relationship modeling happens on the backend, out of sight of the users, where it belongs.
If the needs of the client, observers, and the provider are easy to access and explain, then the communication can focus on the needs and goals of the client and the connection towards positive change.
Use Case
Dimensional Psychology is more than just data, models, and technology. It is a tool, just like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy (PCT), Wellness Modalities, and any Western or Eastern approaches to name a few.
These tools are used to treat or promote change. Dimensional Psychology is a tool that supports the Therapeutic application with a simplified approach to collecting, reviewing, and understanding the interactions between the emotions or behavior and when, who, what, where, or why they elicit the core response. How these behaviors and emotions are treated is separate from the Dimensional Psychology instrument itself. This separation allows for multiple modalities to interact with the information regardless of treatment application.
