| Summary: | Lisa A. Firestone talks with a woman who has no desire to be in a relationship. The client feels that she can't count on other people, is constantly being let down by other people, and has experienced many broken promises in relationships. She tries to protect herself from being vulnerable and hurt, and is more interested in the "thrill of the chase" than in being in a relationship. Firestone asks the client to verbalize her negative thoughts in the second person and gives her an assignment to write down any negative thoughts throughout the day and to think about a more realistic evaluation of those thoughts. |
