(Introduction: The client is a 46-year-old white woman working in therapy about her anxiety and excessive worry as well as her conflicts with her oldest daughter. The following is a transcript of a session following up on the client's last argument with her daughter and how she is processing it.

Therapist: So last session we were talking about the fight you had with your daughter. How have things been between the two of you in the last week?

Client: Well I don't think we will ever make up after that fight. It was the worst fight we ever had and we are never going to recover from it.

Therapist: Okay it sounds like your fight from last week has had some lingering effects this week. Was there no attempt by either of you to reconcile?

Client: I wanted to. I tried. About three days ago, I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk with me. I shouldn't have said that; I forgot all about her ankle injury from soccer and she's trying to lay off it. I couldn't stop thinking about how stupid that was to say and how I ruined any chance of making up with her.

Therapist: So you felt bad about asking to go for a walk and felt like that ruined your chances of making things better? I'm curious how your daughter responded when you asked about the walk.

Client: She just stared at me and stayed quiet.

Therapist: How did it feel when she did that?

Client: She hates me. I know she does. She's staying quiet and that means she hates me. (Pause) You know, it was my fault she hurt her ankle at soccer practice last week.

Therapist: How so?

Client: I usually drive her there, but my boss had me work late that day. So she had to bike there but she had to rush, so I think she started hurting her ankle before she even started playing. If I drove her, then she wouldn't have hurt her ankle.

Therapist: It sounds like you're feeling bad about your daughter's injury, and also feeling responsible for it. Though, when listening to you, it sounds like that decision was outside of your control. Your boss had you work late.

Client: You know, I think me not driving her might have set her off for the whole big fight we got into last week. That one mistake, that one screw up I did was a huge reason she got mad at me.

Therapist: Even though the fight was about her staying out late and not liking your curfew, you believe you not driving her made her angry?

Client: Yeah, if I didn't let her down, then maybe she wouldn't have been so irrational about the curfew I set for her.

Therapist: Have you considered the possibility that your curfew might be too early for someone her age?

Client: Maybe? (Pause) No, no way. There's right and then there's wrong and I think it's wrong for a 17 year old to be out past 9:30pm. There are right ways to do things at her age and she doesn't get that.

Therapist: Okay, you seem to believe strongly in that curfew for her. It sounds like you are not willing to compromise with her on that. So if that's the case, I'm hearing that the only explanation you have for why you fought with your daughter last week is that you failed to drive her to soccer practice.

Client: Yeah exactly. She knows better about the curfew. It can't be that.

Therapist: On the one hand, I hear you trying to find responsibility for your part int eh argument. On the other, I see you fixating on a factor you can't control, your boss had you work late, and overlooking something you could control, your curfew.

Client: You don't understand. I know my daughter, I do. Whenever she's in a bad mood I know it's because of something I've done. It has to be, and I did not drive her to soccer practice. That's on me. The curfew thing, well, she should know better. That's the law of the house, that's not anything I did.

Therapist: So you're seeing the curfew not as choice you're making but as a rule. What happened with the soccer practice, that was a choice you made?

Client: Yes.

Therapist: Did you choose to stay at work late or did you have no choice?

Client: (Long Pause, eventually starts to cry) This world is so messed up. I can't even take care of my daughter because of my awful job. (Pause) I feel so stupid. I am stupid. I've been a terrible parent to her. I'm the worst! I feel like I should have known better than to think I could have done differently after my boss made me stay late, but (pause) if I don't fix things now with my daughter then she'll never love me. We'll never be on good terms again.

Therapist: I'm hearing a lot of pain and hurt here in what you're sharing. And from that hurt you seem to be putting a lot of blame on you or assuming the worst will happen.

Client: Yeah, I know. I can see that now. )
