mental health oka

The OH card commonly used in the field of mental health is essentially a "projective psychological tool". Its core function is to bypass psychological defenses and help users get in touch with the true emotions and cognitions that have been ignored in the subconscious. It is not a fortune-telling tool, and there is no standard answer. Its effectiveness depends entirely on the usage scenario and the professional ability of the guide.

I led three Oka group salons at a community psychological service station in the past two years. The one that impressed me the most was a 32-year-old Internet operator girl. When she came, she registered for "I have had insomnia recently, just adjust my work and rest." When I took the stress self-rating scale, all the options were "mild discomfort". It was obvious that I subconsciously didn't want to admit that I couldn't bear it. That day, she randomly drew a picture card of a person standing on the edge of a cliff with his back to the camera. The matching word card was "Responsibility." When she pulled it out, she smiled and said, "This card has nothing to do with me. I haven't gone hiking recently." Then she sat there in silence for five minutes and suddenly burst into tears. She said that she was responsible for the performance of three projects at the same time, and had to help her younger brother pay off the mortgage of 3,000 yuan every month. Even if she said to her parents, "I am very tired," she was afraid of being told, "You are my sister, who can't help me?" If it were a regular interview, she would most likely have to hide it two or three more times before telling the truth. Oka was like a step, bringing to the surface the emotions she wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

To be honest, the controversy over Oka in the industry has never stopped. Most counselors with a psychoanalytic orientation love to use it and think it is an excellent carrier for free association. It is much more user-friendly than the Rorschach inkblot test. There is no strong "feeling of being tested" and it is not easy for clients to resist. ； However, many counselors from the cognitive behavioral school feel that this thing is too subjective, there is no standardized norm, and the results cannot be reproduced. It can only be used as an auxiliary tool for emotional catharsis. If you dare to rely on drawing cards to make a psychological diagnosis, it is pure nonsense. There is nothing wrong with either statement. In fact, there is no distinction between high and low psychological tools, only the difference between appropriate and inappropriate.

Oh, by the way, I was chatting with a senior who has been doing family therapy for 12 years. She used the European card method which is more interesting. She never draws cards for a single client. Each time, the conflicting family members are asked to each choose a card that best represents their current state, and then tell each other what they see. A couple who had been in a cold war for half a year accidentally chose the same card with two people sitting on opposite ends of the sofa. The husband said, "This is how we are now, sitting in the same room and neither of us want to talk to each other." The wife was stunned for a long time and said, "I thought you understood. I have been sitting here waiting for you for several months, and I want you to say something to me first." With these two words, the two of them hugged each other and cried on the spot. The knot that had been torn apart more than a dozen times before was just loosened. You see, Ouka has never been a "mind-reading" tool. It is just an introduction. It uses "the content on the card" to express what you have hidden in your heart for a long time.

Nowadays, there are too many people in the market who play wrong with the Oka. Some numerology bloggers use it as a fortune-telling tool, saying that whichever card they draw is destined to break up or lose their job. Some even say that they can read "Eternal Creditors", which is purely to collect IQ taxes. Ordinary people don’t need to find any “master’s interpretation”. It’s no problem to buy a set of genuine cards and play them at home: when you’re feeling emotionally confused recently, you can just randomly pick one, regardless of the “official interpretation”. When you see the tree on the card, it looks like the jujube tree at your grandma’s house when you were a child. When you see the people on it Like the colleague you had an argument with last month, even if you feel that the color block on the card is particularly similar to the strawberry sundae you ate yesterday, it’s no problem. Write down what you think of. Most of them are thoughts that have been suppressed in your subconscious for a long time. It is much more effective than holding your phone and reading emo copy all night. If you really come across someone who says they can "change your luck" with Ouka, just block them.

I was sorting out the materials from the previous salon last week, and I also found a note left by the operations girl. She later printed a small sticker on the "Cliff + Responsibility" card and put it on her workstation. She said that every time she wanted to hold on to a job that was not hers, she would look at the sticker and remind herself, "I can also take two steps back. I don't have to stand on the edge of the cliff and carry everything." You see, Ouka has never been a magical thing that can cure diseases. It is more like a listener who will not interrupt. If you want to talk, it will continue quietly, that's all.
