- Summary:
- In this third session of six, Dr. Amy Wenzel demonstrates cognitive behavior therapy with a female client presenting with a gambling addiction, family relationship issues, and work-related stress. Dr. Wenzel and the client spend time discussing the previous week, in which the client was able to resist the urge to gamble. The client observes that writing down a schedule helps her feel accountable to Dr. Wenzel and her own goals, while helping her stay focused and keep her behavior in check. They discuss how filling her time and avoiding isolation helps to reduce her symptoms of depression and increase the likelihood that she avoids succumbing to her addictive urges. Dr. Wenzel helps the client identify several qualities and behaviors that would constitute her "ideal" self, including volunteer work, regular exercise, healthy eating, and social interaction. She also helps the client to construct a schedule of activities for the upcoming week that reflect some of these behaviors. The client also agrees to attend Gamblers Anonymous, after expressing resistance in previous sessions. Finally, Dr. Wenzel outlines a plan for the following meeting, in which she and the client will begin to address maladaptive patterns in the client's interpersonal relationships
