This is a two part activity, the first part will be you following the instructions to complete the activity, and that second part is answering questions about your experience (this is what you will submit for the assignment).

Step 2: Place all of your post-it notes on a wall and your partner should do the same in a separate spot. All of these post-it notes symbolize your lived world as an individual (uberwelt).
Step 3: Switch places with the person you are doing the activity with or use the example provided and review their uberwelt. You are now in the lived world of the other (mitwelt)
Step 4: If you are doing this activity with a second person, make changes on the lived world of the others post-its (mitwelt) that are not congruent with your own values, thoughts, ideals, likes, dislikes etc. If you are using the example, make note of these changes.
Step 5: Return back to your post-its (uberwelt) to re-review. If you are doing this activity with someone else, record your thoughts, feelings, emotional responses to the edits the other person made on post-its. If you are using the example, identify how you feel seeing the other (mitwelt) and how the statements conflict with yours. Step 6: If you are doing this activity with another person, put blank post-it notes on the wall between the two and fill-in gaps between lived worlds and identify gaps within the larger shared world to connect some of the ideas. If you are doing this activity with the example, note the variances and how these could come together with your ideas.
Step 7: Complete the following questions to submit your assignment.
Discuss how the personal lived world is comfortable/familiar
Discuss how the lived world of the other took effort to make fit, can be incongruent etc. but we try to make it fit to ease tension.
Discuss how the post-its between worlds represent this surface response to the tension that keeps individuals/families/humanity trapped in a binary world.
How might this perspective of worlds creating tension in humanistic theory, be similar and different from other theories of counseling (psychoanalytic, behavior, relational, cognitive therapies?) Compare and contrast.
