  1. The dyad experience Brianna morrow and seaNdalgarn

  2. Lost “To navigate life today, we definitely need new maps. Our old ones confuse us unendingly. These new maps are waiting for us. They’ll appear as soon as we quiet down and, with other lost companions, relax into the unfamiliarity of this new place, senses open, curious rather than afraid. The maps we need are in us, but not in only one of us. If we read the currents and signs together, we’ll find our way through.” (Wheatley, 2010)

  3. The experience • Clayton Beach – Larabee State Park

  4. Interacting with Systems • Turned off phones – removed from outer system of communication • Focused solely on dyad experience without outside interference • Went to Larabee – left civilized system and entered environmental ecosystem • Seeking clarity or enlightenment through isolation from familiar environment • Other hikers – co-existing within the system

  5. Systems contd. • Obstacles • Dog on the loose – unexpected change in plan, sought assistance from those outside our dyad system (other hikers) • Unfamiliar with trail – rely on each other as trail guides, let go and accepted uncertainty

  6. Connections to Human Services • Case work can be likened to hiking in the wilderness • Case management requires the achievement of a goal through the implementation of a service plan. • Our goal was reaching Clayton Beach, our route had been plotted, but unforeseen events effected the plan. • Clients or the resources they utilize through a service plan may not react as anticipated – changes to this service plan are often necessary

  7. “Interdependence is the next step in our evolution. It fulfills one of the most basic of human needs – the desire to make a difference in the lives of others and for our life to mean something. This can only be developed through our interconnectedness, our relationships to each other.” (Zeiss, 2002)

  8. Dyads in the field • Client/Provider dyad • Interacting with your client develops a dyadic relationship • Both active participants • Common goal – client’s well-being • Opportunity to develop • New methods or solutions • Gained perspective – cultural competency

  9. Dyads in the field • Peer dyad • Working closely with another professional • Working together to help a client • Common goal – client’s well-being • Opportunity to develop • Interpersonal skills • Gained perspective – knowledge and practice

  10. “In true partnership, you will find yourself focusing less on being separate and autonomous and instead ask yourself, ‘What can we accomplish together?’” (Zeiss, 2002)

  11. Reflection • Strategies utilized • Communication skills • Flexibility and cooperation • Problem solving • Patience • Understanding context of identity • Knowledge of partner’s identity/background as a means of gauging appropriate interaction • Can also be related to client/provider relationship
