Answer 1

Answer:

Unlike Bowenians, experiential therapists will (third option) raise the level of anxiety in the family then behave in alternatively provocative and supportive ways in order to help families learn to express honest emotion.

Explanation:

Experiential therapy is used to address and treat traumas as well as compulsive or addictive behaviors. It uses a variety of tools to help patients re-experience memories, feelings, and situations in a way that allows them to be creative and to change their perception of those experiences.

Experiential therapy may use techniques and tools that will, at first, raise the level of anxiety. As stated above, the purpose is to have patients re-experience situations in order to gain deeper knowledge and understanding. Therapists may alternate provocative and supportive responses as a strategy to have patients access feelings, emotions, and processes.
