Example text

Alan’s CBT therapist explained to Alan why she did not want to put this on Alan’s problem list. She helped Alan see that his partner’s untidy behaviour was under her control rather THERAPEUTIC AGREEMENTS WITH THERAPIST 21 than his. Alan came to see that what was under his control were his feelings (anger) and his behaviour (yelling). As Alan’s feelings of anger and yelling behaviour were unlikely to help him effectively address his partner’s untidiness with her, his therapist invited him to regard his feelings and behaviour as problematic in this context and thus to put his response to her untidiness on the problem list rather than the untidiness itself.

For the purposes of this discussion, I will refer to these as therapeutic tasks. Note well my point that both you and your therapist are expected to carry out such tasks in CBT. What kind of agreements do you and your therapist need to make about tasks in CBT, whether you do so explicitly or implicitly? Here are some of the main agreements that you and your therapist need to make with respect to therapeutic tasks: • That you both understand what your respective tasks are and agree to implement them in the course of therapy • That you both understand how carrying out your respective tasks will help you to achieve your therapeutic goals as a client • That you both understand what your skills and capabilities are as a client to carry out your therapeutic tasks and are both prepared to take the necessary steps to help you to implement these tasks if you cannot do so • That you both agree to make modifications to your respective tasks should it become necessary to do so • That you both understand that your therapist will teach you how to implement your tasks outside of therapy sessions, and the more you are able to do this, the more she will encourage you to take increasing responsibility to become your own therapist Agreements About Ending I mentioned in the previous section that one of the issues that you and your therapist need to agree on is when you will take increasing responsibility in therapy to become your own therapist.

52 UNDERSTAND LACK OF PROGRESS The Therapeutic Bond Between You and Your Therapist Is Not Good The bonding aspect of the working alliance concerns the feeling tone that exists in the relationship between you and your therapist. Thus, if you don’t have good feelings for one another, this may have a negative effect on your progress. My view is that while you can still make progress in therapy if you and your therapist don’t like one another, it is more difficult to do so if there is not mutual respect or if you do not have confidence in your therapist’s expertise.
