Question 2

Maurice is working with a 32-year-old male client, Jesse, who has presented in therapy after the recent, unexpected death of his mother. Jesse reports that he has not cried much; rather he has taken charge where he has needed to in his family and has supported his dad, and his two younger sisters with regular phone calls and visits. Recently, though, Jesse reports feeling extremely angry at his father, who after only 3 months is dating a new woman. Jesse found out about the woman when he showed up at his parent's house one evening after work to check-in on his dad and found them having dinner together. Jesse reports that he is trying to be strong for his sisters and to remain loving toward his father, but he is finding it more and more difficult to be the hero in the family. An example of an early phase goal for Jesse would be:

a. Decrease suppression of feelings and increase ability to express more vulnerable emotions.
b. Increase ability to identify and separate own feelings from that of others and ability to act on these feelings.
c. Increase tolerance of difficult emotions and unwanted parts of self that fuel crisis to reduce internal conflict.
d. All of the above
