If the patient says "its justified" they might still be in the defensive position of a victim, experiencing righteous indignation. Ultimately, we are helping patient's own their own feelings and impulses. It's not about what the parent's have done but how the patient feels about his own viciousness and desire to hurt someone he loves. It is a complicated topic and one I will address in a future video.
So you say: If you have a chronic headache, it is very often because you basically have an impulse to get out of your anger by hitting the current person in the head. Is that correctly understood? Can it not very well be related to the fact that instead of acknowledging the anger and its address in the external world, the person turns the anger inwardly into self-blaming etc and also in this way gives her self chronic headache. What could be a key word to work with that kind of patients?
Nice recovery intervention with the fantastical expression of rage. Thanks Patricia for continuing the videos on this topic and sharing your wisdom.
Great details!
What do you do next if the client doesn't feel any guilt or regret for having hurt their parent in fantasy? If they feel that it was justified?
This is a complex topic and is case specific. I will address the topic of guilt in an upcoming video.
