Adlerian Brief Therapy 38 people like this for 25 years. What do you have to say to this person? Client: I’m sorry you feel that way. If Gary is so bad, why do you like him? Therapist: Now, how does it feel for you to say that? Client: It gives me power. Therapist: Yes, and how’s it feel to say that? Client: It feels good. Therapist: What kind of good? Client: Well, I got it out. Therapist: What happens if it just stays in? Client: It just smolders there. Therapist: Yes. When you’re smoldering inside, are you living or dying? Client: Dying. Therapist: Okay, let’s carry it one step further. “Well, I don’t need you around. He’s hard enough for me as he is. I don’t need to tell you why I love him. After all, it’s not your business.” Client: [in her strongest, most centered voice] I realize that, but I want the best for my son, and I hope that you’re the best for him.
Therapist: Oooh. How’s that? Client: That was really hard. Adlerian Brief Therapy 39 Therapist: Yes, but it was practically perfect. You just took my breath away. You don’t have to back down from any punk kid. You haven’t done it for 25 years, and no reason to do it now. The main thing is this: You already have everything you need inside you; you’ve always had it; and what’s left for you is to stop ignoring it and use it. You might want to practice a little bit, because you are a little rusty, but you aren’t dead. And then when you get done with your son, and his new friend, you start inviting other people to do things with you. You invite them and don’t wait for them to invite you, because, by God, you are worth having as a friend. How’s this been for you? Client: It’s been great. Therapist: You’ve been great. Client: Thank you. Therapist: You’re welcome. Concluding Remarks What happens with this client will depend a great deal on what she chooses to do when she gets back home. Finding one’s voice does not always equal the choice to use it. This is only one session. If there were an opportunity
