emotions.
2.Dream analysis –a method to explore unconscious process using
dreams.
3.Confrontation and clarification –a form of feedback procedure
for patients to become aware of what is happening to him/her
and to determine areas for further analysis.

Example:
Cheryl had grown up in an abusive home
and couldn’t wait to get to college to escape
from her parents. She met some wonderful
people at school, but it took her a long time
to develop close friendships because of the
trust issues she had developed as a child and
teenager.
