Mine does something similar to the chair work-- sometimes actually involving chairs, sometimes not. She makes me do dialogues between the Critical Parent, Adult, and Child. The point is to get me to empathise with the Child who is being told the hateful message, and to talk back to the big mean Critical Parent as an Adult, in order to refute the unfair criticism and protect the Child. It really does lift my spirits.
