Mauro Zizza , DESIGN THINKING ASSIGNMENT     DT for psychotherapy : The role of story telling     I am an engineer and I became an specialist in Machine Design and Design Methods . For   reasons out of the scope of this essay , I became a psychotherapist in several approaches ,   one of them being existential therapy .      In some point last year , I realized that I operated sometimes in therapy under the scope of   design stages and thought of having a method based on that . This is not the method itself   but a reflection on the coincidences and how a DT is affected by the method itself and , if   seen correctly , it is also a healing process for some .     What is ?     When I have a new client or a regular one , I alway ask : what do you want to work with ? So   they begin telling me a story . At the first stages I use the phenomenological method to keep   asking what is ? Just the data , no judgements -for now . Sometimes this is enough since the   person can change his / her story by clearing the facts and is able to separate his / her own   judgements or prejudices .      What if ?     In a second stage we begin to explore what others would think . So first I ask : What do you   think I think about it ? Some times they are very close and others not . So I continue to ask :   What if you see things like I do ? Then we can ask : what do he / she / they think about our   session ? What if you ask them ? What if you propose / suggest / explore what you found out   today about yourself ?     What wows ?     A regular question to clients is : what are your options , your wishes , alternatives ? Very often   a client is locked out and see no options . Many of the idea development from this course can   be used as a game   during the session . I use many materials . Again , one option is to have   the client re write the story with two , three , four different endings .     What works ?     Therapy sessions is a safe place to try out experiments . And there are hundreds of them to   inspire the client to look out and try new behaviours . Usually they “ feel ” what will work for   them even is not the most safe choice out there . The experiment in the wider world can fail ,   but that in itself is a success since the person is trying out new versions of himself / herself .   Returning back to therapy with a “ failure ” is a chance to iterate in the design process and   pick up one of the ideas the client discarded or graduate the experiment and try it out again .      Story telling 

 The whole process is about telling a story , rewriting it , adding chapters , considering life as a   novel where a new chapter can be written , or revisiting a previous chapter and rewriting it . In   the DT course , I liked when they talked about having empathy with those involved in the   process . Well I practice the so called humanistic approach to therapy and being empathic   and teaching that to the client is central .
