Rendez-vous individuelle pour un filming. Dans la grand salle à droite du passage dans la photo (juste avant le bureau d'administration)

I discovered through my reading of Robert Kegan the iconic video tapes of comparative therapy approaches that Carl Rogers, Frederick (Fritz) Perls and Albert Ellis, with real client Gloria. The contrasts in the therapists' approaches are fascinating. The most controversial session was with Perls, who was seen to have almost bullied and demeaned Gloria. However, there is one interestingly unique aspect of Perls' intervention - how he pointed out the specific moment of when he felt Gloria was speaking a deep and direct truth, on the basis of her energy and transmission (54 min point). Is there a common quality to the energy that we are seeking in the witnessing filming and editing process? How might this connect to Gendlin's Focusing method? After these three consulting sessions, Gloria (to my surprise) chose Perls as her therapist. However, after being his client for years, she interestingly said she felt retraumatized.

In the words of David Isay, founder of StoryCorps, "inviting a loved one, a friend or even a stranger to record a meaningful interview with you just might turn out to be one of the most important moments in that person's life, and in yours." StoryCorps is an American non-profit organization whose mission is to record, preserve, and share the stories of Americans from all backgrounds and beliefs. This is a wonderful TED speech by David, setting out their journey of creating story booths in Grand Central Station in NY, to the incredible achievement of how StoryCorp has now the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. A compelling example of the power of storytelling, the evolution of the lineage of our oral history (StoryCorps is modelled on the efforts of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of the 1930s, through which oral history interviews across the United States were recorded. Another inspiration for the organization was oral historian Studs Terkel. https://www.ted.com/talks/dave_isay_everyone_around_you_has_a_story_the_world_needs_to_hear/transcript?language=en

This might have initially seemed to be a talk tackling the political subject of freedom of speech, but it is in fact a seminal summary of the importance of free-associative and spontaneous full-felt-sense speech, from a clinician psychologist's point of view. Drawing from the likes of Carl Rogers, Freud, Maslow, and Jung, Peterson highlights that role of active listening...that relates directly to the InteriorTruth principles and practice. The initial talk on YouTube is here, with the full audio versions, with the Q&A session 1hr20: Apple or Google Podcast. Another crucial dimension evoked in Dr Peterson's speech, is Carl Rogers' notion of how powerful the process of playing back what you thought you understood as an active listener, to the speaker. The mere fact of clarifying in the clearest and most authentic way possible what it is that you understand the speaker is saying, can provide deep revelations - the speaker is hearing themselves back, through the listener. Peterson advises this as the one lesson to take away from this session - of direct relevance for situation of conflict, through to therapeutic processes. It is very interesting to reflect on how the InteriorTruth process of the editing and playback to the film subject, mirrors the same principles. As a filmer, I seek to be an active listening, and in my editing, I reflect back to the film subject what I felt I heard. The essence of what I heard is built from a composite of moments, after listening multiple times to the footage. Thereby providing an opportunity for the film subject to literally see and hear themselves playing back what they said, with the added interpretive layer of the editing. I recognise that the editing process is deeply subjective, but have been pleasantly surprised as to how 9 times of 10, film subjects immediately validate the edited versions. Recorded at Caius College on November 22, 2021.

Home Video portraits The unique nature of the filming process is in our dropping into a full body felt sense of the present. Each filming session begins with a period of silence with eyes closed - I therefore ask of the viewer to join us at that same level, by watching when free from distractions and with headphones. ​ If you loose patience after 15s because nothing is happening, then this is a perfect chance to reflect on which energetic level you are at. T reat yourself to the silence and space to connect to what these people are courageously sharing. Video narratives - 1 min clips Watch only when free of distractions, with headphones. Give yourself the gift of presence with these courageous souls.
