Relational images are an individual’s preconceived understanding or schema of current relationships based on previous experiences (Duffey & Somody, 2011). For instance, someone who has been bullied in the past expects people to treat them with this same kind of disrespect and enters a new relationship guarded. Relational images from chronic and ongoing abuse and rejection can be difficult to re-create; nevertheless, a GFR, the development of self-empathy, and ongoing authentic engagement can empower clients to revisit and re-create these images (Duffey & Somody, 2011).
