Christine Padesky helps a depressed client explore her "hot thoughts" using the 7 column thought record.

Watch an entire therapy session with narrative commentary about each section of the thought record.

This session is a vivid demonstration of the integration of technique with a collaborative therapy alliance.

Viewers comment on the helpfulness of this video to demonstrate the pacing and timing of a therapy session when using a thought record. It has been especially helpful to see how empathic and conversational the therapy session can be even while teaching skills in a structured way.

Includes close-up shots of client and therapist notes.
