ABSTRACT
Jason is a young man with a big heart that often gets him into untenable positions. He presents in therapy as a victim of his experience. It “happens” to him and it’s unfair. Gentle explorations of what his investment might be in maintaining this position fall on stony ground. He is attached to the unfairness. The therapeutic relationship falls into a precarious impasse. He wants me to confirm his position-and I want to give him permission to deconstruct it.
