Therapy Plan for a Married Couple


Most obvious is that I am a young male with no marriage experience and she is a middle aged woman with a nuclear family. Mira may not be confident in my abilities to be a productive therapist due to my age. She may think I am lacking a proper education, making me less qualified and not competent enough to treat her. This may lead her to also believe that I may have very little clinical practice. She may believe that I am less likely to be able to help her in this situation because I do not understand what it feels like to be cheated on much less to be married. Thus, she may not be able to trust me at all. .
             Mira also has her own personal insecurities. She discusses repressing her emotions not knowing where to turn. She starts off the initial therapy session by saying she does not want to be in therapy and that she is here only to have someone to talk to about this situation. Mira may not actually want to find resolutions to her problems; but to simply vent her anger and hurt. Because she is not genuine in her intentions, truly not wanting to in devour in therapy along with her fear of acceptance from her husband and parents, she may refuse to sign any informed consent paper work that will make it official. .
             Mira may also have different views on a number of aspects compared to myself. An important aspect to our therapy and religion could cause a great rift in moving forward together. Common phrases could be "you just do not understand me! She may not like the way I conduct therapy and would rather try another approach that I am not educated or skilled in. To that I would have to refuse, as it is not beneficial to the client for me to practice outside of my scope of competence.
             If needed, I would have no problem referring Mira to another psychologist or therapist. If she is not confident in my abilities or does not feel comfortable having me as her therapist, then I would refer her to an appropriate number of colleagues for her to choose from.
