Did Past Experiences Influence Me?
ОглавлениеAn experience is not an isolated moment in time. It is part of a continuous stream of unfolding experiences. How I respond today is strongly influenced by how I responded previously. As Blackwolf and Jones (1996, p. 78) write: ‘If we don’t stay connected and remember the lessons from the past, are we not doomed to repeat them?’
Every experience is unique. It has not been experienced before. So whilst past experiences may seem similar, they are not the same. They can inform but should not dictate the practitioner’s response. The cue prompts the practitioner to link their experience with past experiences, to reflect on the pattern of their day and whether they are stuck in inappropriate behaviours and routines. The cue urges – ‘wake up, pay attention! Get out of auto‐pilot!’
