If we aren’t careful, we end up treating our client as a “poor baby!” who has to deal with difficult people, and a “what a jerk!” attitude toward family members and relationship partners whose behavior we hear about in every session. The result is a client who feels supported but doesn’t see their role in chronic relationship problems. In this session, you’ll discover:
