During the first and second session of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), the psychologist will help you identify the conflict issues within your relationship, and will help you decide what behavioural or cognitive changes (perceptions, inferences or interpretations) are needed in order to feel satisfied with the relationship again.
These changes may be different ways of interacting within the relationship, or they may be individual changes related to personal psychological problems. Some homework will be assigned at the end of every session to allow you to practice the new skills or strategies you learn during the session.
Sylvia has has recently developed a new model to treat people who are not able to let go after a relationship breakup.
