in the last few weeks. I just watched the Chinese latest reality show, called “see you again”, its about 3 pairs of divorced couples that come to an 18 day vacation to see if they can save their marriage. There are also 4 hosts and 2 psychologists that form the observation team.
I feel like I learnt a lot from this TV show so far, because these 3 couple decided to divorce because of communication problem. and I will use the TV show as a study case. I think this reality show is a successful intervention, although I still don’t know the final outcome, whether the three couple are really divorced. but when I read the comments, I found that this show has already affected some people.
reflection:
In the TV show, A big factor that disrupts communication is when you want to use your correct value to get another person to follow your correct value. because when you do it , you will not see that person, you just only see the right thing. this is the point to affect communication.
like in my project, parents want to give the best things to their children, so they unconsciously let their children follow their value. they do not have a clear understanding of themselves, and also don’t realize the difference between themselves and their children
based on my previous intervention feedback, the family status and power also is a factor, and playing game can help them forget about the status and power.
next step
I will design a mental game as my intervention, everyone in the game can have an opportunity to express themselves, communicate their emotion, interact and feel the similarities and differences between themselves and others through the game. The result of the game is not important, the important things is the process, they can have a clear understanding of themselves, and at the same time also understand and connect each other.
The purpose of the game
