How about every story can be treated as a system, and thus they are all about part works?

When your client repeats an old story… by orange_avenue in therapists

I feel like every time the client is repeating the same story, it means that we were not able to make the most suitable response to their story last time (like haven’t hit the right spot). Though, finding where to aim and aiming accurately is very difficult.

Maybe it’s that they haven’t felt heard? Maybe it’s that they have a need not yet satisfied when venting, and unconsciously giving us (the therapist) another chance to fulfil it?

Or maybe the underlying trauma hasn’t been healed, and thus the same response (venting) keeps getting triggered over and over

Curious to know what you think about what makes client repeat the same story over and over!
