Perceptual positions is a simple technique that enables you to be able to see the other person’s point of view; to gain greater understanding of the other person’s perspective of a certain situation. Essentially, perceptual positions is a dissociative technique that is used to take the emotional charge out of a situation, making people feel resourceful in situations that previously made them feel un-resourceful. The principle behind perceptual positions is the very simple idea of standing in another person’s shoes. In other words, you can’t really understand someone until you have experienced what it is like to be in their situation.
The ability to see things from the point of view of another is a key skill in understanding people and is important to the communication process in negotiations, interviewing and relationships; as well as to having healthy boundaries and the concept of self.
