Today's counseling session is just about over.
Actually, today's "integration" process using the [empty chair technique] was relatively incomplete.
In the most ideal scenario, after the visitor has separated the [ideal self] from the [real self] and refuted the unreasonable aspects of the [ideal self] from the standpoint of the [real self], they should find a bond between the [ideal self] and the [real self].
Finally, through a ritual-like act similar to a "handshake," integrate the [ideal self] and the [real self] into a complete "self."
However, as it was the first implementation of the [empty chair technique] today, the [ideal self] of the visitor had too many unreasonable cognitions, and identifying them one by one took up too much time.
Just as the [grounding technique] needs to progress from the [5-4-3-2-1 technique], which involves aimlessly seeking sensory stimuli from the environment, to eventually stabilizing oneself through a fixed object.
