Accessible Snags

Melton, J., 2010. Accessible Snags. Reformulation, Winter, p.40.

---

Has anyone else found that some patients don’t quite know how to understand the questions about snags on the Psychotherapy file?
In order to help them I have evolved some examples of common snags to check whether they identify with these or have others of their own. For anyone who may find the list I came up with useful, here it is.

Common Snags

As if my gain / success would:

• deprive others, because there is not enough to go round.
• make others envious, so I fear attack or rejection.
• damage others in some way.
• be bound to be spoiled / taken away, so I give it up first.
• be undeserved.
• never be enough.
• set a standard I can’t keep up.
• be too much for me.
• cost what I don’t want to give up, so I resist moving forward.
• give others satisfaction I want to withhold, in order to keep the power for myself.
