One of the simplest and most useful exercises that psychotherapy has gifted to us is known as the empty chair technique.

A client who has been wrestling with their feelings towards someone

is gently requested to stop discussing them in the third person and is instead invited to face a chair

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,

a neglectful mother, or a traitorous so-called friend.

Many of us spend a good deal of time ruminating on difficult people in the recesses of our minds.

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.

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.

And yet we rarely speak with any degree of clarity or sincerity, out of a fear of retribution,

a dread of vulnerability, a pessimism as to the chances of being understood, or perhaps stubbornly ingrained good manners.

The feelings remain in us in a latent form,

contributing to a layer of static frustration that damages our health and lends a compulsive quality to our moods.

Now, under the aegis of a therapist, we can give form to our cloudy annoyance.

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,

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.

Dad, why did you have children if you couldn't even be bothered to get to know them?

Why did you think that your responsibility stopped at providing for them materially?

Chris, why do you pretend that you don't want to be intrusive

when in fact you just never take an interest in me, despite the hours that I've listened to your troubles?

All this might not seem so different from previous remarks like, I'm pretty angry with X or Y,

but the impact of a concrete articulation and a public audition is of a different order.

Anger is a poison and to speak it is to drain it of its malevolent force.

We falsely imagine that the only speeches we can ever usefully make are to flesh and blood attentive listeners.

In truth, it may matter far less that we are heard than that we have a chance to speak.

The empty chair technique is liable to be especially helpful to

those of us who had to grow up to be extremely good boys and girls.

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.

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.

We learned to smile and appease when we would have needed a long wail at the unfairness and cruelty of it all.

Our silence may have won us a safe enough passage into adulthood.

Its ongoing nature threatens to ruin the remaining years.

We may fear that we won't be able to get too far into a speech

without either collapsing into humiliating tears or escalating into unmanageable fury.

The empty chair technique can reassure us on both fronts.

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.

We can assert our needs without bringing about the catastrophe we fear.

And we can start right now, without even waiting for a psychotherapist, by looking across the room to the nearest available chair

and asking who should be sitting there and what if I needed to tell them for the longest time.

FOR YOU

你能学到什么

这个视频不仅能让你了解“空椅疗法”，还能帮你提升两项实用口语技能。首先是清晰表达复杂情绪——视频中用具体例子展示了如何将模糊的愤怒转化为有逻辑的表达，比如“爸爸，既然你都懒得了解孩子，为什么还要生孩子？”。其次是突破沟通障碍，即使面对“想象中的听众”，也能勇敢说出心里话。这些技巧能让你在日常对话中更自信地表达真实想法，无论是与他人交流还是自我梳理情绪。

留意这些发音现象

视频中的口语有不少连读和弱读现象，值得关注。比如“a great deal of”中，“a”和“great”连读成/əˈɡreɪt/，“deal of”弱读为/diːl əv/；“out of a fear”中，“out of”连读为/ˈaʊtəv/，“a fear”弱读为/ə fɪər/。此外，“stop discussing them”中“them”弱读为/ðəm/，几乎听不见尾音。这些发音细节能让你的口语更接近母语者，也更适合用“shadowing”（影子跟读法）练习。

像母语者一样表达

要模仿视频中说话者的节奏和重音，关键是抓住情绪重音。比如在“为什么你的责任只停留在物质供养上？”中，“只”和“物质”需要重读，突出不满；“我们可能害怕还没说几句就崩溃”中，“害怕”和“崩溃”重读，强调内心的担忧。同时，注意句子的停顿，比如在“很多人会反复回想那些难搞的人——深夜里，上班路上，他们的冒犯打断睡眠，影响食欲”中，破折号后的停顿的能让表达更有层次感。你可以用“shadow speak”（影子说话）的方式，跟着视频逐句模仿，感受母语者的语流。

想要提升英语发音，不妨试试“shadowspeaks”或“shadowing site”这样的工具，通过反复跟读强化这些技巧。记住，口语练习不仅是学单词，更是学会用声音传递情绪和意义。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的	is known · being understood · be bothered
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	has gifted · I've listened

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
