Summary:

Using a personality-guided relational psychotherapy approach, Jeffrey J. Magnavita works with a female client in her late teens experiencing major depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder resulting from child abuse and ongoing instability and chaos in her life. In this fifth session, Magnavita and the client continue to explore her apprehension with therapy and her related issues trusting men. Magnavita addresses her approach-avoidance conflict in which she is interested in attaining intimacy with men but is impeded by her cognitive schema that casts men as dangerous. Magnavita urges the client to work through her emotional wall and open up in therapy the way she is able to in her journal writing. After repeatedly encouraging her to express her emotions across five sessions, he is finally able to get her to begin processing her feelings of anger, sadness, and helplessness
