Summary:

Dr. Shari M. Geller conducts an emotion-focused therapy session with a female client in her early thirties who has recently gone through a divorce. Now as a single mom raising her three year old son, working full time, and going back to school to complete her degree, she is experiencing a lot of stress and exhaustion. As the client and Dr. Geller discuss the divorce, Dr. Geller notices that although the client's marriage is over, the client is still carrying a lot of anger and hurt towards her ex-husband. In order to express some of this anger, Dr. Geller uses the empty-chair technique for the client to relay her feelings to her ex-husband. Dr. Geller also asks the client about her childhood experience growing up without a father and how that experience is affecting her and her child's similar situation now. In the future, Dr. Geller suggests that the client continue to work through the anger and hurt she has experienced toward both her father and her ex-husband so that she can free herself from these emotions and not let them interfere with future relationships
