Case Study 5 Miss A has had a few unhappy relationships and is now very distrusting of men. She is bitter and resentful. She also has difficulty building friendships and feels lonely. She has financial problems and is constantly battling with her weight gain. She is very insecure. She spends money to make her feel better and eats unhealthy food for comfort. Miss A agreed to be a case study for SEERCHI Self-Help Therapy and here are her early reactions: Wednesday 5th July Today I started my SEERCHI therapy by subconsciously composting the years 1969 to 1971. I couldn’t do anymore something inside stopped me. I realised that this was a sensitive time for me as my mother had my brother. I was no longer the baby of the family and had lost my mothers attention. Saturday 15th July I have now composted 1972, 1973 and 1974. Have felt a little down not sure when I will be able to compost more years. Thursday 20th July I have managed a few more years. Today I was able to face someone who I was really scared to confront before. I was so proud of myself. I have finished composting my teenage years and I am so relieved. They were not very pleasant years and during that period my self confidence suffered. It was amazing how light I felt, composting those years. It was just like lifting a heavy weight off my shoulders. |
