- Write a brief statement demonstrating how you might reflect and validate Tammy’s
non-acceptance (using validation and reflection). - What might you say to help Tammy unfold her reaction, her experience of Ron?
(reflection, validation, empathic conjecture, and evocative responding). - Use empathic conjecture and reframing to tie Tammy’s non-acceptance to both the
negative cycle and her attachment experience. - Tammy responds with: “This is too overwhelming for me right now. Yes, I’m angry,
and I don’t really believe that he cares about me. He left me. I didn’t want him to
leave.” Help Tammy formulate (own) her feelings and reactions and put them in an
attachment context of her experience and needs. - Having helped Tammy explore, unfold, and formulate her experience, now help her
create an enactment for her to engage Ron in a new way.
