Q1: How can I know when I am working for client’s benefits and when I am working for my own
benefits?

During the psychotherapy, when the client's goals are being met and he thoroughly completes his
homework at a given time period, also when I observe the client's behaviors, patterns, and thoughts they
exhibit in session, which can reflect the changes and improvements. I draw interventions based on
client's needs and move forward with the sessions in an organized way achieving both long term and
short term goals. This is where I know that I am working for client's benefits. The client's symptoms
seems manageable after therapy sessions and he is able to face challenges in his life all by himself. If the
client does not comes for the next therapy session and I am happy that the client didn’t came this is
where I'm working for my own benefits by avoiding the client. Secondly, if I am not aware of my inner
conflicts but still I am dealing with the clients so here I'm fulfilling my own need rather than helping the
client.

Q2: How much might I depend on clients to tell me how good I am as a person or as a Therapist?
Am I Able to Appreciate myself, or do I depend primarily on others to validate my worth and the
value of my work?

I do not depend on clients to tell me how good I am as a person or as a therapist, I consider myself to be
confident enough on my own competencies and self-appreciate myself which uplifts my self-esteem and
through this I can take better decisions and make good choices. Yes, I am able to appreciate myself and I
do not depend on others to validate my worth and the value of my work. Through self-appreciation I
explore my strengths and understand my vulnerabilities so that I can work on them and improve and
modify my techniques in an appropriate way. I keep a positive oriented mind set so that I can learn from
my experiences and mistakes and move forward in life.

Q3: How can I deal with Feelings of Inadequacy, Particularly if I seem to be getting nowhere with
a client?

If feelings of Inadequacy arise during the therapy session and I seem to be getting nowhere with the
client I would not give up on my efforts and keep on trying until I see a minor improvement in client.
Secondly, I would encourage myself that I tried my best to understand client's point of view. Then I
would go back to case conceptualization and look into the details again to evaluate what other
interventions I can apply on the client through which I can figure out which technique is working on the
client and what are the other possible ways through which I can help the client. I would then consider
my thoughts and motivate myself that a little more effort on this client can bring a change and improve
the therapy sessions.
