Declining Client’s Invitations
In this week’s video I discuss how identify and decline patient’s invitations that come from their pathogenic beliefs. Instead therapists can cultivate and express attitudes towards clients that disconfirm these beliefs over time. I give the example of “Harry” and how he tested out his pathogenic belief that he was defective. It was the therapist’s attitude that he was intact and a good person that was helpful in him disconfirming this belief.
