¶ … Chase is an interesting one. Indeed, her symptoms are not overt or over the top but they are impossible to miss when a trained eye is affixed on her. It is clear from those symptoms as well as the backstory of Ms. Chase that she has a lot of skeletons in her closet and they are related to things like family, her lack of a social network or support system and so forth. It is clear that she is isolated and struggling and thus any therapy or other methodologies to get her to a better place need to be focused on that. Lynn Chase needs to take control of her emotions and her life and she cannot allow herself to be held hostage by things that she cannot control.

As noted in the abstract, it is clear that Ms. Chase is struggling very hard. She is obviously facing many struggles in that she is one of the more responsible people in her family and she is clearly the outlier in this regard. She is clearly being worn down by the stress and she does not have the support system she needs nor does she have the self-initiative to take control and take care of herself rather than subjugating herself to others and their needs.

family dynamics and relationships would be good. This is evidenced by the fact that Ms. Chase speaks about how her family is messed up, the family of her husband is/was equally dysfunctional and her childhood life was nothing to fawn over or be comfortable with. Indeed, she has lived with and within dysfunction all of her life and something obviously needs to happen to break that trend (Couture, 2007).
The other sort of therapy that would be very useful and necessary for Ms. Chase is couples therapy with her husband. If the issues with Ms. Chase are addressed but the issues with the husband (if any) are not, then Ms. Chase will almost surely regress at some point. Whether it be issues mutual to Ms. Chase and her husband or issues that relate to Mr. Chase in particular, the totality of what both of them are going through, separately and together, must be worked with and fixed itself. As such, both Ms. Chase and Mr. Chase need to address their own issues and then get together and work with each other when they are to the proper point so as to allow them to do so. It is important that it be in that order because the personal issues of each person must be put in…
