“Belonging”

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

“Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us.”

primal yearning

try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval (barrier and hollow substitute)

“True belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world,

our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”

Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection (2010)

True Belonging

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

“True Belonging is

the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and

find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone

in the wilderness

True belonging

doesn ’t require you to change who you are;

it requires you to be who you are.”

Brene Brown, Braving The Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone (2017)

The Occupational Narrative

andL.E.G.A.C.Y.™ Appreciative

Life Review in OT

Meaningful occupational narratives facilitate being, doing,

becoming and belonging

Occupational Narrative supports:

“Participation naturally occurs when clients are actively involved

in carrying out occupations or daily life activities that they find

purposeful and meaningful” (OTPFW, 2014).

Patterns of Living - habits, routines, roles, and rituals can be a

support or barrier to participation (occupational performance)

Satisfaction – individuals experience well-being and quality of life

when they participate in occupations that are personally

meaningful

TheOccupational Narrative

Approach

“Narratives influence and are influenced by the person-environment-occupation-performance” (Hinojosa, Kramer, Royeen, 2017, p. 169).

Occupational narratives are our past, present, and future stories of participation, patterns of living, and the meaning we assign to them.

▪ Contemplative

▪ Reflective

▪ Meditative or

▪ Action-based (Wilcock & Townsend, 2014)

▪ Occupational Narratives are individually and collectively constructed & reconstructed

▪ Occupational Narratives support health, well-being and participation by providing a framework to encourage occupational patterns that are meaningful and purposeful while making sense of challenges and setbacks (Onori Hansen, 2017).

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

“A naturally occurring universal process,

characterized by the progressive return to

consciousness of past experiences and unresolved

conflicts which are surveyed and reintegrated”

(Butler as cited in Haight and Haight, 2007).

origin of the life review

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

Introduced concept of universal life review in seminal ▪

article, The Life Review: An Interpretation of

Reminiscence in the Aged (Robert Butler, 1963).

Created paradigm shift by challenging stereotype of ▪

old age as state of physical & mental decline.

Reframed reminiscence and life review as normal ▪

process with potential for positive outcomes

“time of harvest” & celebration

facilitate adaptive responses

acceptance that one ’s life was well-lived & meaningful

(ego integrity)

“…the recall of memories. This is usually characterized

as simple daydreaming, storytelling, or nostalgia by

oneself or with others.” (Haber, 2006)

“Life review is also more

likely than reminiscence to

be an evaluative process, in

that participants examine

how their memories

contribute to the meaning

of their life, and they may

work at coming to terms

with more difficult

memories” (Haber, 2006).

appreciative inquiry assumptions

In every society, organization or group, something works.

What we focus on becomes our reality.

The act of asking questions of an organization or group influences the group in some way.

It is important to value differences.

The language we use creates our reality.

“an intentional process that facilitates remembering

positive and negative experiences, in context, to

create appreciative and meaning-focused narratives

which facilitate well-being and adaptive responses”

Premise of Appreciative Life Review

“…people of all ages review their past at various times; they look back to

comprehend the forces and experiences that have shaped their lives”

(Butler, 1963).

unresolved developmental milestones are not considered permanent and may

be revisited for successful reconciliation. (Sigelman & Rider, 2015)

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

Premise of Appreciative Life Review

Motivations for Life Review by Young and Midlife Adults

▪ recent problem or crisis

▪ therapeutic/cathartic after traumatic or significant life experience

▪ evaluate the present (rather than reconcile & reframe the past)

▪ life transitions and significant decisions

Shifting the Contextual and Temporal Stage of Life Review

▪ Facilitates ongoing “life course corrections”

▪ Encourages “appreciative mindset” and positive reframing

▪ Increases sense of autonomy (being author of new life chapters)

▪ Encourages relational reconciliation and resolution of unfinished business

▪ Facilitates adaptive responses and normal developmental milestones

▪ Facilitates positive life transitions and decision-making

purpose defined

one’s “…compelling reason for being alive” (Hudson & McLean, 2006).

“that deepest dimension within us – our central core or essence –

where we have a profound sense of who we are, where we came from, and where we’re going.”

Leider (1997)

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

qualities of purpose

woven into a person’s identity and is central to personality

a central and self-organizing life aim

organizes & stimulates goals and influences behaviors

provides a sense of meaning

offers direction yet following that direction is optional

does not require achievement of a designated outcome (e.g. goal)

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

McKnight & Kashdan (2009)

final thoughts about purpose

“Meaning does not always drive purpose…

meaning probably drives the development of purpose.

Once a purpose becomes developed,

purpose drives meaning”

(McKnight & Kashdan, 2009).

▪ Purpose & meaning have a temporal, bidirectional relationship

▪ A person may have a single purpose or multiple purposes

▪ Exists on 3-dimensional continuum (“Scope – Strength – Awareness”)

meaning defined“…the sense made of, and significance felt regarding,

the nature of one’s being and existence.”

(Steger et al., 2006)

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

qualities of meaning

Meaning is an individual rather than universal construct (Frankl, ▪ 1959/2006)

• “the transitoriness of our existence in no way makes it meaningless”

present realities and past are preserved from transitioriness (narrative •

and legacy)

“…▪ good deeds are never wasted and not forgotten. What cannot be

achieved in one lifetime will happen when one lifetime is joined to another”

(Kushner, 1986).

creating meaning

“Activity and occupational demands are

the specific features of an activity and

occupation that influence its meaning

for the client and the type and amount

of effort required to engage in it”

(OTPFW, 2014).

▪ Symbolic

▪ Metaphorical

▪ Unconscious

ascribing meaning

Values: “principles, standards, or qualities considered worthwhile by the client who holds them” (OTPFW, 2014)

Beliefs: “cognitive content held as true” (Moyers & Dale, 2007 as cited in OTPFW, 2014)

Spirituality: “…the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred” (Puchalaski et al., 2009 as cited in OTPFW, 2014)

Generativity“Shifting the Context”

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

generativity defined

“The desire and commitment to

care for younger generations, the community, and/or

society

by creating and sharing a legacy

that is personally meaningful and significant”

(Nicole Onori Hansen, 2016).

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

origins of generativity

Plato’s Symposium (Wakefield, 1998) ▪ Love is the antecedent to generativity.

▪ “In Plato’s view, all people are pregnant with physical or

mental generative products, awaiting the inspiration for

their birthings that can only come through a loving

relationship with another person” (McAdams, 2001).

“To be generative is to give birth to a beautiful product…” (McAdams, 2001).

Ultimate expression of generativity considered the birth of a child.

Appeases the human yearning for immortality.

qualities of generativity

Paradoxical in Nature

▪ Agentic element - create a legacy that will outlive the self

▪ Communal element - expresses care & concern for future generations

▪ “…curious blend of narcissism and altruism” (McAdams, 2001)

Composite or integration of self-actualization & altruism

▪ Concurrent fulfillment of one’s purpose & altruism

▪ Transcendent actualization (Maslow, 1970)

Copyright © 2017 Nicole O. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.

final thoughts on generativity

Generativity arises from inner needs & external forces such as cultural or societal expectations (Erikson in McAdams, 2001).

Generative concerns & behaviors increase from young to middle-adulthood but relationship between generativity & age is not clear (McAdams, 2001).

Generativity is not about immortality as much as caring or the next generation with ordinary acts of kindness (Erikson in McAdams, 2001).
