Colin the Companion Talks

2:16:35

Educational materials for public benefit, such as information about mental and physical health issues, farming and agriculture, business, literacy or other education. Motivations and variables for Alzheimer care applied practically in the chats: • Focusing on creating comfort and a positive environment – flourishing. • Each chat is a ‘frozen moment’, the introduction of Colin as friend and ‘being there’ is repeated de novo. There is no sequence of ‘events’ or story line weaved through the successive chats. • Since it is assumed that the senses are affected less by cognitive damage, there is an underlying sorting matrix: the five senses. To assist cataloguing, Themes are provided. (However, it is understood that the senses also have neurological links to the brain; thus, this is not pretended as a winning recipe – only momentary comfort and recreation.) • The cub must be present and confirm ‘being there’ by ‘care moments’ – hug, touch, soft laugh, etc. • Introducing simple, unadulterated humour (without an agenda) – help patients focus on flourishing within the situation. This is also accompanied by a distinctive reassuring soft laugh (Colin chuckle). • In preliminary stages, involve care-worker – guidance given in square brackets. In later stages, the interaction follows it course. • Building interaction without overloading the patients with questions and taking their mind off the here and now. • Avoiding excessive direct questions. Use guiding questions and prompts. Simplify posed questions. At times, ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ will suffice. • Sharing experience with view to immediate pleasure – short-term care and matters current to the chat. The presentation is in ‘frozen-moment’ present tense for sharing. • Avoiding alluding to past or future times. Focus on the situation of a shared experience. • Since patients have difficulty remembering, no ‘homework’ or tasks flowing from the chats can be given. • Since memory is the problem, the chats steer away from inculcating insights or problem-solving. Work from the senses at hand and the associated experience. • Giving the patient say in the situation, by providing options (lying down or sitting up, choosing flowers, etc.). • Incorporating simple, basic exercise to guide patients and help them enjoy the chat. • Breaking tasks into simple, manageable bits/steps. • Where possible within the interaction process, we avoid instructing; rather indicate or demonstrate how actions should take place. • Presenting a simple, one-dimensional narrative with an uncomplicated story line, which involves the patient. • The chats progress incrementally. During the progress, more complex concepts and words are filtered in – to exercise the brain (albeit on subconscious level). • The interplay of sound effects and ‘mood music’ is used to calm the patients and make them feel special. • As an appeal to their subconscious, a recreational phrase, at times, mantra, is inserted after each chat. Since the ‘appeal’ is to the subconscious, these final phrases provide a certain leeway. They may use references to God in a responsible, discerning and caring way, without evangelising or aiming to convert (see the examples in the chats). The main aim is a ‘final phrase to comfort’, not ‘a thought to remember’. • The chats are structured in a way that allows the music to enhance the narrative or blend in with the final recreational phrase. Thus the choice of music should be ‘chat-specific’ to a degree, although generally provide a soothing and comforting background sound. Again, religious music would also be acceptable, if it adheres to the mentioned criteria.(For this mix we used 432Hz calming tunes.)
