Sameera was referred to a clinical psychologist for anger issues pertaining to differences with her parents. Initially, Sameera kept denying any such concerns and said, it is nothing but an adolescent phase. The clinical psychologist was not convinced and decided to probe deeper. She knew that Sameera was hesitating to share her private feelings and thoughts. The clinical psychologist started by creating an environment where there was trust, empathy, genuineness and warmth. This helped Sameera to develop a positive relationship with the clinical psychologist. Soon Sameera was sharing her inner turmoils and the reasons of her anger towards her parents. The psychologist challenged her faulty thought patterns and substituted them with adaptive and positive thoughts. This helped to reduce her distress.
