Problem: What is Progress? Note: Amanda showed up to her second session on time. Amanda was a bit more relaxed than the first time we met. Amanda stated that her symptoms are better with her medication for sleeping and for anxiety. She also shared that she is still going to therapy with her alcoholic abusive partner and feels that she still cannot trust him because he has lied in the past about his alcohol intake. During therapy, Amanda and her therapist discussed the DBT workbook and how it can help her gain tools to manage her PTSD symptoms. Amanda and her therapist also reviewed the strengths and qualities for the self-acceptance sheet, where Amanda answered questions such as things she is excellent at, compliments she has received, and what she likes about herself. While trying to answer these questions, Amanda shared, "I didn't realize how unhappy I am with my life right now until I began to think about the answers to these questions." Amanda agreed to review the book and to bring it to therapy in the next session. Amanda also denied any thoughts of suicide before leaving the session. Need Assignment Help?
