Treatment for the Case of Saul

After analyzing life events that may cause him to have these aggressive and irrational thoughts, he was then instructed to practice breathing techniques for when he starts to feel angry. He shared how there was a direct effect of the breathing technique on the lowering of his heartbeat and also an indirect effect on his mind. The therapists also used imagery techniques that allowed them to revisit past episodes and analyze what may have caused the episodes to start and the level at which they were at. This imagery helped link the fear of betrayal with the fear of weakness. This weakness was derived from his life experiences of his mom constantly reaffirming his weakness as a child. Towards the second half of sessions, the patient was able to become self aware of the tendencies and what caused them. The last sessions was when the patient was able to learn how to strengthen relationships and grow apart from his past notions.
