ABSTRACT
This is a story of how the ISIS approach can work in both individual and couples therapy. It is mostly Annette’s story, with a note about a follow-up couples session with Annette and her partner. The clients involved have given permission to tell their story, and confidentiality has been maintained by altering their names and other identifiers. As with the stories of using ISIS in groups, you will see that the process is more than just a collection of techniques. You will also see the value of using the ISIS template as a strong and safe container for allowing the core of clients’ stories to emerge in order both to set a stage for deep and lasting healing and to allow that healing to take a direction that might surprise you.
