Attitudes and Behavior

Assume you are a COUNSELOR and have just had a break through with one of your clients. It seems your client is just realizing how powerful behaviors and attitudes can be. Your client was caught in a negative cycle of poor behaviors and attitudes. Each poor decision was followed by negative feelings. Each negative feeling was then followed by more negative actions. Without compromising your client’s right to privacy, you are interested in sharing some of the themes you discovered with your colleagues.
