| Summary: | Dr. Jon Carlson continues therapy with a female client who is seeking help with trust issues, especially involving men. She has had a problem trusting men throughout her life, and this has grown worse since her husband of 5 years cheated on her last year. The client has begun to use the techniques discussed in therapy to re-open communication with her husband. She also discusses issues with how a situation with one of the students at school is being handled by the administration. Dr. Carlson draws parallels between her work situation and her marriage. They discuss the idea that if we have negative expectations, that we are less likely to be disappointed, but that this strategy also isolates and makes it harder for a healthy relationship to thrive. Dr. Carlson asks her if there is anything she feels she needs to discuss with her husband before the next session, and she decides to go over boundaries with him.
