Huge and vague inquiry from a non-professional active in mental health social work: I have read that there is not much evidence for the value of "I-messages." This leads me to ask about a lot of things I use:
-mindfulness in trauma reactions-
-reflective listening/validation-response
-challenging questions to people [in therapy, although I am not a therapist]
-I-statements/I messages
-Broken-record technique to avoid arguments
-Application of motivational interviewing to misinformation, e.g. "I don't want to have therapy because only crazy people need therapy."
-very simple screening questions
-scaling questions
-miracle questions
Questions are: evidence base exists? Evidence can be evaluated as? But in my experience or thinking, it may be that...?
Some common sense tips help; It can also be due to the recovery of the psychopathological state and the foundation of the "informal / non-professional" help, that someone listens to you -helping to "ventilation" and catharsis, and -in addition- to "model" and behave as a figure of relicience; It may be that the "spontaneous" recovery - as Eysenck defined for these cases - coincides with the evolution and natural history of the process ... without forgetting the "Placebo effect" (obviously two or more of the reasons stated may coincide and interact)
