Creative Hopelessness and Workability

Creative hopelessness is a critical process in therapy, and one that reemerges quite often. This process is especially crucial for getting a “buy in” for treatment. If clients don’t accept that avoidance and control are the problem and the target of treatment, you can’t proceed with the approach in this book. These clients won’t have the willingness and motivation to experience the difficult schema-related pain that comes up during exposure and values work, yet this pain must be accepted if clients are to take steps in valued directions. Therefore, throughout therapy it is critical to remind clients of the long-term costs of old coping behaviors and help them recognize that schema-related pain is unavoidable.
