Client: There’d be a lot less fighting and crying.

This is a goal.

Client: I’d probably have a better relationship with my mom. I’d try to be there more for her.

Again, “better relationship” is not yet a value because it doesn’t specify the qualities of relationship that are important to the client. However, “be there more for her” is a value, if a bit vague. Again, the therapist can help the client clarify this value.

Client: And I’d be making more money.

This is a goal, not a value.

Of course, when clients report a goal, one or more values often underlie that goal. It’s important for the therapist to abstract the important valued directions that underlie the goal and help the client make them explicit. The remainder of the exercise will help you practice this. We’ll present some of the goal statements from the preceding example and ask you to generate questions that might help the client get to the values that underlie these goals. For each, write two questions you could ask before looking at the model questions that follow.
