<strong>Adlerian</strong> <strong>Brief</strong> <strong>Therapy</strong> 31<br />

Therapist: So someone told you that you should kind of get interested<br />

in the guy, and you caved in and did it. You got married<br />

right after college?<br />

Client: No, we got married when I was a sophomore.<br />

Therapist: Okay. Think back to when you were really young, and then<br />

I am going to stop doing my quasi-objective stuff. What’s<br />

something you remember from when you were really little?<br />

Client: Well, my very earliest memory was when I was just a<br />

toddler, and I remember we were at the ocean, and all the<br />

sudden the water was coming at me, and it scared me to<br />

death, and my dad picked me up.<br />

Therapist: And how did you feel?<br />

Client: I felt scared when the water was coming at me, but then<br />

daddy saved me.<br />

Therapist: Got any others?<br />

Client: One time we went camping. I was, I don’t know, 4 or 5, and<br />

we were . . . my brothers and my dad were out in the boat,<br />

and my mother and I were in camp, and I was wandering<br />

around from campground to campground, and I saw this . . .<br />

what had been a fire, and the ashes were just so soft. And I<br />

took off my shoes and waded through it barefoot, because I<br />

thought it would feel good on my feet.
