1
One of the simplest and most useful exercises that psychotherapy has gifted to us is known as the empty chair technique.
2
A client who has been wrestling with their feelings towards someone
3
is gently requested to stop discussing them in the third person and is instead invited to face a chair
4
and start talking to this bit of furniture as if it were, to all intents, the specific troubling person in their life, perhaps a long-dead absent father,
5
a neglectful mother, or a traitorous so-called friend.
6
Many of us spend a good deal of time ruminating on difficult people in the recesses of our minds.
7
We say that so-and-so really deserves a comeuppance, or that we'd love to give X or Y a taste of what we actually think.
8
We find ourselves returning to them again and again late at night and on the journey to work, their offences interrupting our sleep and spoiling our digestion.
9
And yet we rarely speak with any degree of clarity or sincerity, out of a fear of retribution,
10
a dread of vulnerability, a pessimism as to the chances of being understood, or perhaps stubbornly ingrained good manners.
11
The feelings remain in us in a latent form,
12
contributing to a layer of static frustration that damages our health and lends a compulsive quality to our moods.
13
Now, under the aegis of a therapist, we can give form to our cloudy annoyance.
14
Once we move past the hesitation at the particular strangeness of discoursing with a seat, we may find that we are a great deal more eloquent than we supposed,
15
far more sure of what we needed to say, far more at home with letting the world energetically know how things look through our eyes.
16
Dad, why did you have children if you couldn't even be bothered to get to know them?
17
Why did you think that your responsibility stopped at providing for them materially?
18
Chris, why do you pretend that you don't want to be intrusive
19
when in fact you just never take an interest in me, despite the hours that I've listened to your troubles?
20
All this might not seem so different from previous remarks like, I'm pretty angry with X or Y,
21
but the impact of a concrete articulation and a public audition is of a different order.
22
Anger is a poison and to speak it is to drain it of its malevolent force.
23
We falsely imagine that the only speeches we can ever usefully make are to flesh and blood attentive listeners.
24
In truth, it may matter far less that we are heard than that we have a chance to speak.
25
The empty chair technique is liable to be especially helpful to
26
those of us who had to grow up to be extremely good boys and girls.
27
There may be few opportunities to be anything but when dad is an alcoholic or has a violent temper, temper, mum is neglectful, or a sibling is very ill.
28
We may lack any knowledge of how to complain because, in our formative period, we sensed correctly that our survival depended upon meekness and good humour.
29
We learned to smile and appease when we would have needed a long wail at the unfairness and cruelty of it all.
30
Our silence may have won us a safe enough passage into adulthood.
31
Its ongoing nature threatens to ruin the remaining years.
32
We may fear that we won't be able to get too far into a speech
33
without either collapsing into humiliating tears or escalating into unmanageable fury.
34
The empty chair technique can reassure us on both fronts.
35
There can be ways of speaking without shouting, of saying no without being alarming, of standing up for ourselves without coming across as entitled or unworthy.
36
We can assert our needs without bringing about the catastrophe we fear.
37
And we can start right now, without even waiting for a psychotherapist, by looking across the room to the nearest available chair
38
and asking who should be sitting there and what if I needed to tell them for the longest time.

Кому подходит это видео?

Этот материал идеально подойдет тем, кто учит английский по видео и хочет улучшить не только речь, но и понимание эмоциональных тем. Легкий, но глубокий разговор подходит для среднего уровня — вы познакомитесь с естественной речью, а не с формальными фразами. Если вы практикуете shadowing (повторение за спикером), видео станет отличным инструментом: его темп умеренный, а интонация выразительная, что поможет освоить естественный акцент.

Слова и идиомы, которые стоит запомнить

  • Empty chair technique — техника пустого стула (метод психотерапии, когда разговариваешь с несуществующим interlocутором).
  • Ruminate on — размышлять, крутить в голове (например: "She ruminates on past mistakes" — Она крутит в голове прошлые ошибки).
  • Comeuppance — заслуженное наказание (в диалоге: "so-and-so really deserves a comeuppance" — тому-то-то действительно заслужено наказание).
  • Latent form — скрытая форма (чувства остаются в нас в скрытой форме).

Как улучшить произношение: фокус на акценте

Спикер использует мягкий, но уверенный тон — обратите внимание на интонацию при выражении гнева или обиды. Например, фраза "Why did you have children if you couldn't even be bothered to get to know them?" требует подъема тона на слове "children" и снижения на "know them" для передачи эмоции. Для практики используйте shadowing site или инструменты вроде shadowspeaks: повторяйте фразы сразу за спикером, копируя его ритм и интонацию. Особенно важны слабые формы (например, "couldn't even" произносится как "couldn't 'ven") — это делает речь естественной. Не бойтесь экспериментировать: shadow speak помогает привыкнуть к живой речи, а не к сухим текстовым примерам.

Также обратите внимание на паузы: спикер делает их перед важными вопросами, чтобы подчеркнуть эмоциональную нагрузку. Это отличный пример, как правильно структурировать речь, чтобы она была понятной и убедительной. Практикуйте каждый день, и вы заметите, как ваше произношение становится более уверенным!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
