Summary:

"In this session, Dr. Paul L. Hewitt demonstrates dynamic relational therapy with an undergraduate student who presents with concerns related to perfectionism, impression management, and grief. The therapist helps the client explore her tendency to manage others' impressions of her and her desire to always want to fit in. They also discuss the client's upbringing in a low-income, single-parent household, her mother's long-term sickness and eventual death, her father's incarceration, and the client's experience with bullying as a young child. Dr. Hewitt works collaboratively with the client to begin building a clinical formulation and identifying the client's cyclical relational patterns throughout her life, including her tendency to push away her grief and other emotions related to her mother's death. The therapist and client conclude the session by discussing the client's previous experiences in therapy and the possibility for continued treatment in the future"
