Scott’s Second Transcript
Welcome back my friends! I’m glad to see everyone is still getting here. We missed you last week, Kaz.
Maybe one of your goals can be making it on time to every meeting? Remember, we aren’t going to give any diagnostic labels in this group. If what you are doing is not working, I encourage you to experiment with doing something different. We are going to focus on what you are doing that is already working and encourage you to continue in that direction, wah-wah—things should get better!
Who would like to share today? Look back over your week and tell me what seemed to go slightly better than the week before.
Valeria

Valeria starts in, “My baby’s daddy left me with these damn kids, and I’m gonna have to move back into my mom’s shitty 1-bedroom rathole. You know how I went out for my birthday, got that DUI, and now I’m facing eviction? I can’t get into any other housing cuz of my drug conviction. It was just weed. I don’t know why that still matters. And I also have a felony from when I stole $300 from a Subway two years ago. Nothing will ever get better for me.â€
How should Scott respond to Valeria?
Let’s explore the thoughts behind what you just said, my friend, and expand your responses to these situations.
Yes, yes, Valeria, my friend, you have challenges certainly, but what is working for you right now? I mean, what is one thing that is going well for you? Let’s start there.
Valeria, my friend, last week you told us you were saving up some money. I know you are working hard. Everything will be okay. Wah-wah! You just need to think good thoughts about this all. I used to have similar problems when my wife left me with our three kids. Have you heard of Suze Orman?
