An activity manager must follow a process when creating an activity program. This outline helps an activity professional create a program that is successful for clients. Because there are five steps to it, the same process applies for remotivation. The second step will be covered in this article. I’ll then explain how it works.
The second step is what we call “A Bridge to the Real World”. To guide group members to the topic, the facilitator will use questions. These questions are known as bounce questions. Bounce questions refer to a series of questions designed to logically direct clients from one topic or another. The questions and answers are predetermined when you write out your session. Similar to everyday conversation, the questions the therapist will ask are the same as those asked in remotivation therapy sessions.
Leaders ask a minimum three or maximum four questions. Each set has four answers. It is okay for clients to reply with a different answer than you expected, but it is not a problem. Here is Step II, where four questions lead to the topic for the session and the poem.
STEP II ” A Bridge to The Real World”
A. Which of the following are the seasons?
1. Winter
2. Sommer
3. Spring
4. Herbst
B. Is there anything special about summer?
1. Heat
2. Warmth
3. Beautiful weather
4. Outdoors
C. Which outdoor activities can you engage in?
1. Swimming
2. Fish
3. Enjoy food
4. Golf
D. Which type of activity can be associated with eating?
1. It’s not clear to me
2. Picnic
3. Barbeques
4. Outdoor snacks
The facilitator then reads a poem on a barbeque at the end of Step II. Next, the facilitator leads the group to the topic for the day. This article is all about barbeques.
The above illustration shows that one answer leads to another set, which eventually leads you to the topic and poem for your session.
The facilitator helps the client to get out of the wounded place by helping him focus on the positive side of the mind. The Remotivation Therapy can redirect clients to talk about daily objects rather than dealing or focusing only on their shortcomings. Leaders are able to help clients get out of their own way. This is just one of the five steps in a session for remotivation therapy. It helps those with cognitive impairments or physical limitations increase self-esteem.
