The therapist may:
- expose you to several new perspectives on your life and the experience may lead you to significant change
- have guts enough to show you how you may be thinking and behaving like a victim and the experience may lead you to change
- strip you of your God-talk and your handy clichés to the point where you really meet yourself and encounter the divine
- show you how you fit into a network of family and friends and how you may be resisting your legitimate place in that network.
- ignore your focus on your weaknesses and help you to capitalize upon your strengths
- insist that you create new orbits no matter how entrenched you may be
- help you get your focus off the endless task of trying to make unhappy people happy
- stir the lion within you until you see the fruitlessness of accommodating poor treatment from anyone
- expose you to the joy of being out of control while keeping the rules all at the same time
- show you how your future may be brighter than your past if you embrace the courage to plan and to implement what you really want.
