Defining Competence Through Context
Defining Competence Through Context is an approach grounded in the principles of solution-focused therapy and developed by the staff of Court Ordered Programs.
https://www.courtorderedclasses.com/WebcastedGroupList.html
Based on the pioneering work of Richard Bandler and John Grinder, this approach emphasizes identifying and building upon the inherent strengths of individuals and families rather than focusing solely on deficits, problems, or failures.
At its core, the philosophy encourages participants to "catch themselves doing something right." Even when individuals have made serious mistakes or engaged in harmful behavior within their relationships, it is essential to recognize the positive choices they have made and use those successes as a foundation for lasting change.
Rather than spending excessive time analyzing why problems occur, this solution-focused approach concentrates on identifying practical and effective ways to overcome challenges. While understanding the causes of behavior can be insightful, lasting change is more likely when individuals develop and strengthen successful behaviors. Because of its flexibility, this approach can be applied across a wide variety of situations and is not limited to any single theoretical model.
Even if facilitators do not use every specific solution-focused technique in their group sessions, creating a competence through context remains invaluable. Many participants in batterer intervention programs struggle with deep feelings of shame, guilt, and personal failure. While these emotions never excuse abusive behavior, they are important psychological realities that can either hinder or support the change process. If our primary goal is to prevent future relationship violence, one of the most effective strategies is to identify, reinforce, and strengthen participants' positive qualities and successful behaviors.
This approach communicates a clear message: we believe participants are capable of developing healthy, respectful, and nonviolent relationships. Their successes should be recognized and reinforced, while harmful behaviors continue to be addressed directly and held fully accountable. A strengths-based approach does not minimize abuse; rather, it helps participants build the skills necessary to replace abusive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
The Weekly Check-In reflects this philosophy by beginning with a discussion of each participant's weekly successes. Starting with accomplishments helps establish a context of competence and encourages participants to recognize the progress they are making. When examining relationship challenges, facilitators should also explore the strengths and resources that already exist.
Strategies for Building Competence Through Context
Past Success
• What have you done in the past that worked well?
• What strengths helped you succeed?
Positive Exceptions
• Even though disagreements about money are common, when have you been able to discuss finances without arguing?
• What was different about those situations?
Coping Questions
• What do you already know about handling these situations successfully?
• Which strategies have helped you remain calm and respectful?
Scaling Questions
• Although conflict still occurs, pay attention to times when arguments happen less often, end more quickly, or are less intense than before. What contributed to those improvements?
Questions That Promote Competence Through Context
• How will you know you have been successful by the end of the Court Ordered Classes Batterers Intervention Program?
• After completing the program, what positive changes do you expect to continue making in your life?
• What will be the first sign that tells you this program has made a difference?
• What changes will others notice that demonstrate your progress?
• If you have faced similar challenges in the past, what helped you manage them successfully?
• Tell us about a time when you felt yourself becoming angry but were able to regain control before the situation escalated.
• Can you recall a recent occasion when you pleasantly surprised yourself by responding in a healthier or more respectful way than you normally would have?
• Even though you raised your voice during an argument, you stopped yourself from making threats or becoming physically aggressive. What helped you make that positive choice?
• Even though the conflict became intense, you and your partner were able to end it without further escalation. What did each of you do that helped resolve the situation more quickly?
By consistently identifying strengths, recognizing progress, and reinforcing healthy behaviors, facilitators help participants develop greater confidence in their ability to change. The context of competence creates an environment where accountability and growth work together, supporting long-term behavioral change and healthier relationships.

A few years ago, I was on vacation with my family, sitting outside a café with my wife in the historic district of Charleston. After a long afternoon of browsing local shops, she handed me her tote bag and asked me to carry it across the square while we found another place to sit. It was a simple request, but I froze. Even though I knew I was overreacting, I couldn't bring myself to do it. The thought of being seen carrying her bag for less than a minute felt impossible. My wife stared at me in disbelief before rolling her eyes and walking ahead.
Why did something so small feel so difficult? All I could imagine was strangers silently judging me, assuming I wasn't "man enough." In my mind, decades of trying to fit society's expectations of masculinity would disappear the moment someone saw me carrying that bag.
Shame is one of the least recognized parts of many men's emotional lives, both by men themselves and by those around them. Consider a fictional story about a father named Mark, who eagerly plans a weekend camping trip with his twelve-year-old son after a divorce. He hopes the trip will strengthen their relationship, but everything seems to go wrong. His son grows bored, complains constantly, and eventually asks to go home early. Rather than recognizing his son's discomfort, Mark becomes consumed with the belief that he has failed as a father.
As those feelings deepen, Mark's embarrassment turns into frustration. A disagreement with his former spouse escalates into an argument, and his growing anger clouds his judgment. What began as disappointment transforms into defensive behavior fueled by the fear that he has fallen short of what a "good father" should be.
Men who experience intense shame during childhood often spend years trying to avoid feeling it again. These experiences may come from family expectations, criticism from classmates, or broader cultural messages about what it means to "be a man." Over time, many become highly sensitive to rejection or humiliation, constantly scanning for signs that they are being criticized or looked down upon. Ironically, the men who most desire acceptance often struggle to ask for support, instead assuming others will reject or judge them first.
Even small moments—a friend canceling plans, a partner seeming distracted, or receiving mild criticism at work—can reopen old emotional wounds. Without fully realizing why, some men respond with anger or withdrawal because those situations awaken feelings of shame that have been buried for years. Mental health professionals sometimes describe this pattern as a fear-driven response to shame that can influence many aspects of a person's relationships.
Because many cultures discourage men from appearing vulnerable or emotionally dependent, some feel pressure to constantly prove their toughness. Researchers have demonstrated this in experiments where participants placed their hands in ice-cold water. Men who believed the challenge measured strength, endurance, or traditional masculine traits tended to tolerate the discomfort longer than those who were told it measured unrelated characteristics or received no explanation.
The findings suggest that behavior can change dramatically when people believe their identity is being evaluated. For some men, the possibility of appearing weak feels more threatening than the physical discomfort itself.
Women also experience shame, and there is significant overlap between the emotional experiences of both men and women. Still, socialization often shapes how these emotions are expressed. From an early age, boys are frequently encouraged to value achievement, independence, and self-reliance, while relying on others for emotional support may be discouraged. These expectations can make it more difficult for men to recognize or communicate vulnerable feelings later in life.
Some theories in psychology and evolutionary science suggest that many men place a strong emphasis on providing, accomplishing goals, and demonstrating competence. Whether these tendencies arise from biology, culture, or a combination of both, they can contribute to the belief that personal worth depends on success and performance.
Understanding the influence of shame is essential for understanding many men's emotional experiences. Seemingly ordinary moments—whether carrying a shopping bag through a busy square or feeling unsuccessful during a family outing—can trigger fears of not measuring up to deeply ingrained ideas about masculinity. Recognizing those emotional patterns can lead to healthier relationships and a greater capacity for self-awareness.

One of our first posts from when we first obtained Facebook.

While I (AS and writer of this class) don't know you personally or are familiar with your beliefs, because we are both human beings, there is far more that unites us than separates us, I am in recovery and have done all of the previous things mentioned above. As an example, we both have physical needs and emotional needs which are unique but also remarkably similar as human beings. Due to my intimate experience with people who engage in self-defeating behaviors (shoplift, drugs and alcohol, gambling, obsessive p**n, criminal behavior, anger... etc.), I do know the truth about you.
Without ever meeting you, I can know who you are. That is because as a human being, you are very much like me. I don't want to appear arrogant but you are a human being who was created by "God" and "Mother Nature" (as you prefer) and you and I were given, at birth, all the things we need to evolve, grow and prosper throughout our life or we couldn't sustain ourselves. To be clear, I am not speaking about the religious God but rather the universal God within all religions. If you are an atheist or agnostic, the wisdom in the world simply has a different origin for you. I simply use the word "God" throughout these next few classes as a word to describe the wisdom that exists in our world, rather than a specific religious affiliation or belief.
You may choose to believe anything you wish about yourself but, in reality, there were powerful forces which some call "God" or "Mother Nature" that created you as part of the wisdom in our world. Regardless of how hard you try to believe one thing or another about yourself, please accept that the powerful truth that you do not have the ability to change those precious things about you that had already been created before birth. However, as you move forward in life, you do have the freedom and ability to make choices about how to live a fulfilling life.
Some people may be at a place in their life where they wonder why they were ever born. They may say, "What good has it done? How is the world better? I brought two children into the world and they are going to have it harder than I did. I don't think God is always right. There are too many problems in the world and it doesn't seem to be getting better."
While I understand how some people might feel they have little value to both themselves and others, this is almost never true. As history shows us, while the world outside you will always be in turmoil, the value of your life is the goodness you bring to the world. This is why the world has never been overrun by evil.
Now, let's look at the real you. Are you ready?
