Never ignore “Therapy Anxiety”
Although I stress that psychotherapy is a creative and spontaneous process shaped by each practitioner’s unique style and customized for each patient, there are, nonetheless, certain universal rules. One such rule is always explore session-related anxiety. If a patient experiences anxiety during the session, after the session (on the way home or later while thinking about the hour), or when preparing to come to the next session, then I always make a point of focusing in depth upon that anxiety.
Although the anxiety may sometimes issue from the content of the therapy discussion, far more commonly it stems from the process—from feelings about the patient-therapist relationship. For example, one patient described feeling anxious entering my office:
“Why? What makes you anxious about coming here?” I asked.
“I’m frightened. I feel I’m skating on thin ice here.”
“What is the equivalent of falling through the ice in our therapy?”
“That you’ll be sick of my complaining and moaning and not want to see me again.”
“That must complicate things for you a great deal. I tell you to express all your troubling thoughts. That’s hard enough, but then you add to it something else—that you must also take care not to burden or discourage me.”
Translation - Danish Kapitel 66
Underkend aldrig “terapiangst”
Selv om jeg understreger, at psykoterapi er en kreativ og dynamisk proces, som er påvirket af den enkelte fagpersons terapeutiske stil og tilpasset til den enkelte patient, er der universelle retningslinjer, der gælder. En af dem er altid at udforske den angst, der kan opstå i sammenhæng med sessionen. Hvis en patient bliver ængstelig under sessionen, efter sessionen (på vejen hjem eller senere, når vedkommende tænker på sessionen), eller når vedkommende gør sig klar til at møde op til den næste session, gør jeg meget ud af at gå i dybden med den ængstelighed.
Selv om ængsteligheden undertiden stammer fra indholdet i sessionen, vil den som oftest opstå fra selve processen - fra oplevelsen af den terapeutiske relation. Eksempelvis fortalte en patient mig, at hun følte sig ængstelig, da hun kom ind på mit kontor:
“Hvordan kan det være? Hvad gør dig ængstelig ved at komme her?”, spurgte jeg.
“Jeg er bange. Jeg har det som om, jeg er ude på tynd is.”
“Hvad ville svare til at gå igennem isen i terapien?”
“At du ville få nok af mit jamren og ikke ville mødes med mig igen”
“Det må sætte dig i en virkelig svær situation. Jeg beder dig om at sætte ord på alle dine bekymringer. Det er svært nok i sig selv. Men så tillægger du noget mere - at du også skal passe på ikke at komme til at bebyrde eller afskrække mig.”
