Betty was looking for a solution to being emotionally out of control by searching for a cognitive answer. This was natural for her because she had learned not to allow herself feelings a long time ago. When cooperating with her on that plane did not make a difference for her I cautiously offered a suggestion (perturbation) that her complaint might be anger. This idea resonated with her and helped her find a solution. Therapy is a collaborative process even if clients can only change as much as they are able to or ready for at a particular time. Offering an emotional suggestion, “Do you think you are angry?,” is as valid as a cognitive-behavioral one, “Do you think it would be helpful if you began an exercise program?”
