Elena presents in therapy with you after trying four other therapists who don’t quite understand where she’s coming from. When she explains that she suffers from low self-esteem, you suggest some of the following. Which is not considered a short term objective?
  1. Take responsibility for daily self-care
  2. Reduce negative self-talk
  3. Identify and verbalize feelings
  4. Build a consistently positive self-image
Explanation
Answer - D - The word consistently is what defines (D) as a long term objective. Viewing some positive aspects of self-image is easier than making it a long-term proposition. After all, since exploring feelings is long term, consistent positive images would be long-term as well. In this case, though, verbalizing the feelings doesn’t necessarily mean having a full understanding.
