Description
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 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 is mostly a review of the work done in the prior five sessions. Because the issues are so entrenched Dr. Jeremy D. Safran suggests that the client find further help with a therapist and by joining a codependency group. The client also talked about her current concerns with her teenage daughter and elderly mother and her fears about the responsibility of caring for them alone.
