Growing up, Sabrina lived in a poor neighborhood with parents that did not work. The child was constantly being told by family members she was no good and would never amount to anything. As an adult, Sabrina suffers from low self-esteem and does not believe she can ever achieve her goals. What method of therapy best represents Sabrina’s problem?
  1. Self-centered therapy
  2. Passive therapy
  3. Expressive child therapy
  4. Inner child therapy
Explanation
Answer - D - As the title indicates, this is a method of therapy where the Inner Child can be accessed and negative conditioning addressed. If there has been trauma or damage in childhood, the spontaneous part of us is damaged. This tends to deprive one of life’s accomplishments. Negative conditioning as a child will cause an adult to have low self-esteem and a feeling of worthlessness. It is important to replace negative childhood conditioning with positive.
