(EP37) Advice-Seeking Mind Games
from Power For Positive Living · host Dr. James Hughey
This broadcast PTP (Point to Ponder) involves the behavior of responding to someone who often seeks advice and then chooses not to implement it. People seek advice from others for a number of reasons ranging from seeking confirmation of ideas (people do what they want to do) to seeking help from others to reinforce a perspective of neediness. Psychological mind games can be played such as, "See, I told everyone that my problem could not be solved". A significant point to ponder is for a helper to self-define what he/she sees as their role in encouraging others to seek healthy assistance.
