This type of rational approach works well with adults who want to develop insight into their situations & start re-tooling their lives. I can modify the approach for children by involving the adults in their lives so the adults can better understand their child & how to influence the child's behaviors.

Fears, Phobias, Anxiety- What is the basis for your reaction? Maybe your reaction is valid, maybe not. We can look at the pattern of events to understand why you feel this way.

Drugs & Alcohol- Addictions often begin as remedy, a quick-fix for something. It's hard to give up something that worked so well in the past. Let's backtrack & see what the original need was & see if it is still needed today. If so, we'll find a more suitable option for you.

Dead-end relationships- Do you keep finding yourself with the same type of person & the same unhappy ending? What is the pattern you keep following that repeatedly leads you back to the same place?

Stressful relationships- Things get more complicated as you add more people to the mix. Couples often find themselves in a tension-filled relationship with no idea how they got there. Each person should take a look at the relationship script they follow. Where did it come from? Does your partner know about your script. Do you know about theirs? Do the scripts conflict?
