- Summary:
- In this fourth of six sessions, the therapist first responds to the client's written feedback on the last session. They discuss her 16-yer-old son's growing maturity but also the ongoing stress of parenting a child with bipolar disorder and impulsive behaviors. The therapist encourages the client to take a long-term perspective but also empathizes with her worries about her son. The client shares events of the week that proved stressful, which prompts a discussion of assertiveness skills and boundary setting. The conversation moves to the client's future goals and covers her difficulty defining a new role for herself and thoughts on finding a new romantic partner. Fear of the future is a recurrent theme, but the therapist repeatedly draws the client's attention to how she can draw on strengths she has already exhibited since becoming a widow
