| Summary: | Dr. Lisa A. Firestone talks with a young woman who is confused about her relationship and is not sure where it's going. The client is not satisfied with her sexual relationship because she is almost always the one initiating it, and there is no foreplay. She sees this as a symptom of problems in the relationship as a whole. Firestone asks the client to verbalize her negative thoughts toward herself in the second person. She then encourages the client to recognize that she has made assumptions about her partner's thoughts and feelings and is often projecting her own negative self-thoughts onto her partner. Firestone also asks the client to write down any negative self-thoughts throughout the day and to think about a more realistic evaluation of herself. |
