Unconscious Plans
Patients test the therapist according to unconscious plans that
provide a general direction. These plans are ways of achieving therapeutic
goals by mastering the effects of trauma through overcoming the
internal obstructions that interfere with the pursuit of goals.
The plan tells the patient which beliefs to test first and which
to defer testing until later. A plan is not fixed; rather, it is
a tentative, flexible strategy for achieving one's goals. It is
modified and revised as the therapy progresses. In fact, the patient
will often mold his plan to the therapist's style, stance, or orientation.
