Anna and Sofia went into detailed discussion about each goal and described what success would look like. Since having a home is not really in her control, they discussed how to make her current room feel more like home for the present. For the long term, they would explore how to get her mom involved and explore referrals to agencies that can help and assist with housing. They talked about some strategies to make friends, but Anna wanted Sofia to understand that it is imperative that Sofia feels good about herself and improves her sense of worth before trying to make friends. In order to boost Sofia’s self-esteem, Anna encouraged Sofia to explore some of her negative and irrational thoughts about herself and replace them with more neutral or positive ones. Finally, as Sofia became ready to focus on relationships, Anna and Sofia explored what aspects of relationships were missing and ways for Sofia to establish the kind of relationships she needed, including with family and friends.
