Summary:

"In this session, Dr. Carl Lejuez demonstrates behavior therapy, using a behavioral activation approach with a middle-aged White male client presenting with symptoms of depression and substance use. Dr. Lejuez begins the session by asking the client to share about his struggles. The client has a history of using alcohol and drugs such as marijuana and cocaine, and he notes that his use is often triggered by peer pressure and periods of intense stress. The client notes that he struggled with depression after separating from his family to try to jump start his recovery. He has since been sober for nearly 26 years and has used both talk therapy and medication to treat his depression in the past. The therapist and client then explore the "positives" of substance use (what the client got out of using alcohol and drugs) as well as triggers (short-, middle-, and long-term) in the client's life that have led to recent urges to relapse. The client explores his stress at work as a certified substance abuse counselor at a hospital, and he discusses growing up in an alcoholic home with a strict, overbearing, and hypercritical father. Dr. Lejuez then introduces the concept of behavioral activation and leads the client into a discussion of alternative strategies for meeting the needs that get met by alcohol and drugs. The therapist and client conclude the session by discussing the client's values, including his desire to improve his relationships in his life. Dr. Lejuez asks the client to engage in self-monitoring during the next week, and they make plans to look at what happens to the client throughout the day, as well as his corresponding thoughts and feelings"
