May 20th
Anderson reported feeling ‘confused’ and not sure if he was ready to move on and embrace the grieving process. This was especially because he felt guilty for not being there for his father enough while he was still alive. Such thoughts haunted him a lot.

We discussed the effectiveness of the therapy process and how the result would be so beneficial to him and help him let go the feelings of guilt and comfortably live with that fact.
I gave Anderson an insight on how the process was going to be done. I also assured him that the process would be friendly and managed to establish trust with Anderson and made him comfortable through the process.
