| Summary: | The client, a 52 year-old woman, has been the primary caregiver for her parents for years. Her father recently died, and she is struggling with the memories of emotional, physical, and verbal abuse by him. Her boyfriend of nine years is emotionally unavailable and verbally abusive in a way that reminds her of her father. This session with Dr. Jeremy D. Safran focuses on her frustration with her boyfriend's unwillingness to demonstrate that he cares for her and unwillingness to meet her emotional needs. The client views her options as choosing between leaving her boyfriend, a solution that is too frightening for her, or continuing to try to change him so that she will be happier in the relationship. |
