Problem:
Emily, a 42-year-old married woman with two children, has been in therapy for 3 months to process the loss of her mother and her subsequent role as caregiver to her Father. Emily discusses how she has been navigating her relationships with her husband and children. Her teenage son was close to his grandmother and has had a difficult time at school since her passing. Emily was able to recognize her feelings of concern and love for her son and describe how she provided him with comfort and emotional support by listening to him and validating his feelings. She can also empathize with her husband's concerns about the kids, sadness, and the stress he feels about the new responsibility for her Father. Emily reflects on how she has grown in her ability to rely on her husband for support as well. She talks about how, in the past, she would have tried to handle everything on her own, but now she can openly express her needs and trust that her husband will be there for her. She is not afraid to be vulnerable and enjoys the closeness that this has brought to their relationship. While not everyone in her life has been able to support her well, Emily has become adept at discerning which people in her life are safe to lean on and has cultivated a network of supportive relationships.
