How does the psychoanalytic therapist view relapse?
What will be an ideal response?
Relapse is viewed as evidence that the client’s anxiety is overwhelming and triggering the addictive behavior as a coping mechanism. It indicates that the client has not fully worked through the unconscious feelings or memories that underlie the behavior. They understand that relapse is part of the healing process. Relapse situations are used as teachable moments to improve client conscious awareness of sensory environment or emotional triggers and to work through any unresolved emotional issues.
