Just to add to the good reply from Greg Snyder, I am interested to know whether or not this client is a partner with you in deciding what techniques to try, and when and how to practice these outside of therapy. She may be unmotivated, though I would be surprised to find that to be the case for an adult who has sought out therapy. There may very well be something else going on. For example, she may find the assignments you have given to her to be too difficult or too fearful. She may not see the value of the techniques, either because she does not understand them or because they are truly not valuable to her. It may help to talk openly with her about her goals, and be sure that you are addressing the issues that are important to her. This may help both of you work together to address her concerns. Hope this is helpful. Regards, Lynne
