Initial Intake and Goal Setting
The therapist conducts an initial assessment, gathers background information from the client, and collaboratively establishes therapy goals and expectations for the sessions.
Exploring Presenting Issues and Feelings
The client discusses their current challenges, symptoms, and emotional states, while the therapist uses active listening and open-ended questions to facilitate deeper exploration.
Processing Past Experiences and Trauma
The session focuses on how past events, childhood experiences, or traumatic incidents may be influencing the client's current behaviors and emotional patterns.
Developing Coping Strategies and Skills
The therapist guides the client in identifying and practicing practical coping mechanisms, communication skills, cognitive restructuring, or mindfulness techniques to manage their difficulties.
Addressing Resistance or Breakthroughs
This session involves navigating moments where the client may be resistant to change or, conversely, experiencing significant insights or emotional breakthroughs.
Termination and Relapse Prevention Planning
As therapy approaches its conclusion, the therapist and client review progress, consolidate gains, discuss strategies for maintaining well-being, and plan for potential future challenges.
