 The first element involves the therapist provoking or stimulating the client's responses through both verbal and non-verbal interactions. This can involve using humor, sarcasm, or other provocative techniques to encourage the client to examine their beliefs and thought patterns in a new way. The first element involves the therapist provoking or stimulating the client's responses through both verbal and non-verbal interactions.

 The second element of PCW involves using non-specific or indirect hypnosis and metaphor explorations to create what's called "fluid states" for the client. These fluid states help the client become more open to new ideas and ways of thinking.  The second element of PCW involves using non-specific or indirect hypnosis and metaphor explorations to create what's called "fluid states" for the client.

 One of the key benefits of PCW is the immense flexibility it offers to deal with a wide range of client conditions in a time-effective manner. The practitioner uses a variety of techniques, but the most important aspect of PCW is the adoption of different stances to assist the client. These stances are designed to deliberately provoke responses from the client to create new ways of thinking and feeling. One of the key benefits of PCW is the immense flexibility it offers to deal with a wide range of client conditions in a time-effective manner.

 +====== Frank Farrelly ======
 +
 +Frank Farrelly[(Frank_Farrelly>Frank Farrelly[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Farrelly|Wikipedia]])]
 + (1931-2013) was an American psychotherapist who created the approach known as Provocative Therapy in the 1960s. He was known for his unconventional style, using humor, sarcasm, and provocative statements to challenge clients' beliefs and provoke emotional reactions.
 +
 +Farrelly believed that traditional therapy approaches were often too passive and polite, and that clients needed to be confronted and challenged in order to experience true change. He drew on his experiences as a salesman and his own personal struggles with anxiety to develop the approach.
 +
 +Provocative Therapy aims to challenge clients' assumptions and defenses, and create a therapeutic relationship that is playful and confrontational. Farrelly believed that humor was an important tool in therapy, as it could help clients to see their problems from a different perspective and reduce the intensity of their emotional reactions.
 +
 +After meeting Frank Farrelly and training with him to become an approved Provocative Therapy Trainer, Nick Kemp continued to develop and refine his own approach to personal change, which he called Provocative Change Works (PCW). In 2013 Frank Farrelly's son Tim Farrelly passed with Frank's instruction the Frank Farrelly archive to Nick Kemp who continues to promote Farrelly's classic Provocative Therapy as well as his own Provocative Change Works approach.
