- Summary:
- Dr. Jon Carlson continues therapy with a female client who is seeking help with trust issues, especially involving men. She has had a problem trusting men throughout her life, and this has grown worse since her husband of 5 years cheated on her last year. Dr. Carlson asked her if anything had changed since the last session, she said that she realizes that she has shortcomings and has to accept responsibility for her part of the difficulties in her marriage, which for her is difficult. She states that she has discovered that making him constantly try to make up for the fact that he cheated will not help the marriage. She has been trying to see her husband in a more positive light, and has begun to apologize for not accepting her responsibility for helping the marriage work. Dr. Carlson suggests that by being less critical, it will make her husband feel more secure and able to open up more to her, so they can learn more about each other. She also discussed with her mother why she distrusts men, and her mother conceded that there are some trustworthy men, which surprised the client. Dr. Carlson suggested that some of her long held notions about reality may not be as concrete as she once thought, and that she should work on finding her own truth about her environment. Dr. Carlson also suggested some communication skills and activities to try with her husband, such as looking at situations from his perspective and being less judgmental and parental when there is a conflict
