ABSTRACT
All practise as a psychotherapist is tied to our lives outside our work. The ability to keep our practice alive itself requires practise. In order to give a good performance—one that avoids repeating the same tired lines—we step outside our Comfort Zone to live with the discomfort of facing the unknown in the real life of our practice. The body of family therapy has restlessness in its blood. It also has a good head for new ideas, while respecting the tried and tested ones. In its heart there is a generosity of spirit that keeps the field alive. This field comprises therapists and practitioners willing to explore their repertoires, to introduce the random, and to perform their practice to the betterment of their clientele. The chapter explores how the therapist's repertoire can be enhanced by an attitude of experimentation, irreverence towards orthodox thinking, and an ability to find the courage to face the challenges of practice.
