Alkisah seorang pria datang kepada Pat, seorang psikoterapis. Awalnya dia skeptis kalau konseling dapat membantunya menghentikan kebiasaan klepto--yang kemudian mengancam hubungannya dg kekasihnya. As either a client or a therapist, if something pops into your mind, it may be worth sharing. Even if, on your own, you cannot see its relevance.With a healthy dose of sanity, Philippa Perry's compassionate advice could help you become a happier, wiser person. Success The highest indicator for a successful outcome for therapy is the client’s expectations, motivation and hope. The second is the relationship between the client and the therapist. Neither area seems to be thriving for Pat and James at this stage in the therapy.

Get closer the people who matter the most with the help of the nation's favourite therapist, PHILIPPA PERRY ** I’m wondering if you are numb where feelings are concerned. You don’t say how you feel about your break-up. Perhaps you learned to numb emotion because to have your feelings meant having pain. Trouble is, we cannot just numb hurt and pain without numbing joy as well. I think you need to work on turning up your feelings dial. You don’t have to go from zero to 10; try turning to a two or a three to start with. It will take practice. Your homework is to ask yourself several times a day – perhaps every time you go through a door – “What am I feeling?” Then from the answer work out what you want and then, ask for it, go for it. It’s time for you to experiment.katywayne: “Horse riding: the best therapy... The only time I think about nothing else in my life except the horse and my surroundings.” Research has shown that clients are most likely to make positive changes in therapy when the therapist uses the client’s own theory of change, or when the therapist’s own ideas about change coincide with the client’s previously held psychic beliefs. This is why Pat asks James what would work for him.
