Good intervention always comes from the contact between the therapist and the client
She is always unexpected. If the intervention is based on some kind of prognosis, for example, to help the client to become aware of anger at his father, and serves some purpose, this is a weak intervention. Surprise intervention is not based on concepts, but comes from the therapist's personal reactions and reflects the essence of his presence near the client. In a good way, such interventions are done by the therapist for himself, and not in order to move the client somewhere.
This works not only in psychotherapy, but in life in general. This helps to build a presence in the presence. If you say something to a loved one to make him change for the better, this will have no effect. Both in therapy and in personal relationships, it is very important to rely on yourself and your sensitivity in contact with the person.
Each intervention has a set of phenomena
This is what you are aware of in contact and see based on your own reactions. It is very important that the intervention represents the entire context. Noticing, for example, that a client jerks a leg is a weak intervention. It does not present the entire context. “I'm angry with you” also represents only one part of the context and cannot be a strong intervention. It is important to link several phenomena. For example: "When you talked about your husband, your voice trembled, and when you said that you love him, your fists clenched." This blank is a prototype of a good intervention. But at the same time:
A good intervention has a maximum of 10 words
And it should be built only on those phenomena that are obvious to you. You don't have to smear the whole point of what you want to say into sentences in order to enable the client to grasp the point right away. In other words, reduce the intervention to meaning and never interpret. If you assume what the client is feeling or what he thinks, this is a deliberately weak intervention, since you spend half of the energy inherent in the contact on explaining what you see. Explanation, advice or interpretation will never get you to the core of the client's life and experience. Moreover, understanding is often destructive, and causal relationships are not always needed in therapy.
If the intervention is clear to a child 5-7 years old, it is strong
The simpler the intervention, the simpler its meaning and the fewer options to understand it differently, the better. If the client doesn’t take the effort to figure out what you want to say to him and does not risk giving your phrase a different meaning, then this is a good intervention.
Good psychotherapeutic intervention is always the choice
In a psychotherapist-client contact, a good therapist notices several dozen phenomena simultaneously. The task is to choose exactly those that are important to tell the client. If you decide to choose one of the phenomena because it will change the client's life, you have failed. Your task is to notice which of the phenomena impresses you most and to package it into the basis of the intervention.
Intervention is always good if in public contact
Present contact is when the lives of two people come into contact. A good therapist "heals" with himself, with his reactions. You say personally about yourself, what touches you, personally to another person. It is the charge and energy that produces the effect of a nuclear explosion. It changes a person on an energetic level and can radically change lives.
But never facilitate the process of experience for which you yourself are not ready, otherwise you will turn into a pest. If you yourself are not ready to experience the strong shame or pain that may arise, provoke the client to experience such feelings, and cannot psychologically support him and plunge into similar feelings in the presence of contact, you will leave the client with wild energy that will be spent, in this case, for destruction, not creation.
Scan yourself constantly. Are you ready to go into experiencing the phenomena, feelings, reactions, events that the client will start talking about thanks to your interventions? If so, feel free to move forward.

Organizational Change Based On Arnold Beisser's Paradoxical Theory Of Change
To begin with, it is important to say a few words about A. Beisser's theory of change. In the original language, it reads as follows: change occurs when someone becomes who he is, but not when he tries to become who he is not … Change does not occur as a result of forced attempts by an individual to change or another person to change him, it occurs if the individual spends time and effort to be who he is - i.

How Easy Is It To Change And Change?
Each psychologist has some "own" topic that arouses the greatest interest in him. For me, for example, this is development, movement forward, changes. Recently, I have been drawing particular inspiration in this direction from myths, analytical psychologists and, of course, my clients.
Illusion In Therapy: "I Will Change And The World Will Change"
Somewhere in the therapy came the myth that if I “work out” and change, then the whole world around me will change and everything in my life will automatically become good by itself. There is some truth in this, but things are not quite what many people think.
