Workshop of Adventure Therapy

The CJCU Counseling Center invited the clinical psychologist, Tsai, Han-Jie, to hold a workshop of adventure therapy at the group counseling room of the second academic building (T20503) on November 12th. The workshop was to increase changes of cognitive behavior by experience learning.

As adventure experience bumps into psychological therapy, there will be more self-conversations, which enable students to leave their comfort zone and have more capital to challenge themselves. The psychologist let students have live interactions and play a chicken-catching game. With the increase of game difficulty, students needed to think the difference of actual operation.

The balloon game and tape-pasting game which needed high attention were composed of risk, uncertainty and unbalanced cognition. When students were extremely excited, they could tell what the benefits and disadvantages were. After finding the problem, they found a better self and cured the self that had once been hurt.

At last, the psychologist, Tsai, Han-Jie, suggested that students keep challenging themselves and adventuring as well as taking great frustrations as the motive of growing up.
