31. Types of Boundaries • Loose – no one is aware of what’s going on with anyone else in the family • Enmeshed – family members are too involved in each other’s lives • Healthy, clear – the necessary distinction between the various subsystems are present; members are allowed the 5 freedoms

36. Negative Core Beliefs Continued • “I am ugly.” • “There’s only one right way to do things –my way.” • “You should never do anything for yourself; if you do, you’re selfish.” • “I am unworthy of love.” (Some clients in Stage Two Recovery report that they are able to find their “soul”)

37. Termination Phase • Denial • Bring up termination • Expect and explain regression • If the client disappears, reach out

38. Anger • Allow open expression of anger • Try not to personalize the client’s anger
