Compassionately confront the unworkable agenda, appealing always to the client's experience as the ultimate arbiter
Support the client in feeling and thinking what they directly feel and think already—as it is not as what it says it is—and to find a place from which that is possible.
In the service of that goal, teach acceptance and defusion skills.
Help the client make a richer and less defended contact with the present moment, and with their own on-going thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
Help the client contact a transcendent sense of self.
Help the client become more consistently mindful.
Help the client move in a value direction, with all of their history and automatic reactions.
Help the client detect traps, fusions, and strange loops.
Repeat, expand the scope of the work, and repeat again, until the clients generalizes.
