Peer Consultation

The SCT 10-minute Peer Consult

What it is:

A negotiated 10-minute consultation between two members of SCTRI: one seeking a consultation and one who has attended the Intermediate Skills Training, and so is trained in using the SCT Gold Sheet protocols with others.

Goal:

To practice using the SCT Gold Sheet protocols for Modules 1 and 2.

Consultants practice by using the protocols to structure a consultation; consultees practice following the protocols to undo a restraining force. Both are practicing, in different roles.

Who it is for:

Members of SCTRI

What it is for:

To use the SCT Gold Sheets to center, and to undo:

• anxiety
• tension
• depression and outrages
• simple one-up/one-down role locks

The aim is to reduce one internal restraining force (anxiety, tension, outrage, depression, role lock) that is preventing the consultee from centering and using common sense in a particular context.

When to use it:

When as consultee you recognize a restraining force of anxiety, tension, outrage or depression and cannot undo it yourself.

How to use it:

Contact an SCTRI member who has the skills to consult and request a 10-minute peer consultation to undo anxiety, tension, outrage or depression or a role lock. Search the members' directory for members with Intermediate Skills.
