The key takeaways are that Remotivational Therapy aims to help patients improve self-esteem and socialization skills through group discussions about various topics in the real world.

The objectives of Remotivational Therapy are to stimulate patients, help them develop feelings of acceptance, improve communication skills, promote group harmony, increase self-respect, and get patients to think and talk about their feelings.

The five steps involved in Remotivational Therapy are: climate of acceptance, bridge to the real world, sharing the world we live in, appreciation of the works of the world, and climate of appreciation.

POEMS: Tanman sa Ilalom sa Adlaw (Beth Padillo) Ang mga dahon nagpaabot nga bisbisan Sa silaw sa adlaw, human sa mga adlaw Sa katugnaw og madagayaong ulan. Mga bulak nga misugod sa pagbuklad Nanggayo sa kainit sa adlaw aron matuman Ang pagbuklad sa iyang mga gihay. Ania usab ang hagawhaw sa kasingkasing Nga unta ang adlaw sa langit mopakita Sa iyang panagway aron sa pag dan-ag Gubat (Moises Santiago) Malawak na dibdib ng sangkalikasan may pusong maliblib ng kahiwagaan; Madawag sa tinik ng kasiphayuan;mababa, matarikang mga halaman; May mahalumigmigna himig ng buhay. May sapa at batis na umaaliw-iw sa kristal na tubig ang buntong-hinaing; Sarisaring tinig ng galak at lagim; may lamig at init ng dusa at aliw.

Anupa't kinapal na napakalawak ang kahiwagaang hindi madalumat; sa sangkatauhan ay guhit ng palad ng bawat nilalang ang nakakatulad; Ganda't kapangitan ang buhay sa gubat. Trees (Joyce Kilmer) I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

-After reading the poem to the patients, let one patient read the poem written on the visual aid 3. Sharing The World We Live In - The facilitator stimulates about 8-10 questions leading to the topic. The questions are not emotionally based but objective in nature.

Aha makita ang mga klase-klaseng mananap ug kawayan? Asa ga tubo ang mga prutas? Unsa inyong nakita sa kalikasan? Kanusa mu last naka kita ug kalikasan? Asa mu nakakita ug kalikasan?
