In reply to pdoc's goals? » ghost, posted by badhaircut on December 27, 2004, at 10:26:26

That is a good question. I've been going for over a year, and my initial goal was to decrease depression symptoms and to stop sabotauging myself. At this point, I'm not sure how I would describe my goal. I'm not even sure what I would say about how I've progressed. I've got more awareness of how I project onto others, especially authority figures. But I still catch myself doing it, which is really frustrating. I guess my goal now is just increased understanding of myself and perhaps digging out some deeply buried pain.

I always ask my clients in the first few sessions what their goals are, and they often have trouble too. I think it really is a hard question to articulate, especially early on.
