'Confessions of an alcoholic' - Page 138:
Many of his clients, after listening to his story and his description of his ‘cycle of life’ said, ‘I understand what you’ve said. That’s me I’ve been there and done that. That’s happened with me.’
During the initial session Bundy always asked his client, ‘what do you want to do with your life? Where do you want to go?’ He gave them until their next session to make up their mind. If they needed his help to improve their life, he encouraged them to return, but if they thought one session was sufficient then it was okay. It was each client’s decision to know ‘what he or she wanted to do and where he or she wanted to go in their life.’
Most of the clients returned for their next session. Bundy felt great seeing his clients return for their sessions. He knew they were ‘doing something for themselves to improve their way of life’. In this session he asked his client ‘what do you want to do with your life and where do you want to go?’ Most of them replied to ‘wanting to change their drinking habits and enjoy their life.’
In this session he explained how he had developed a habit of becoming a ‘RESCUER’, and shared his story of how it started from an early age, causing him immense issues throughout his life. During his time at college when his lecturer pointed out ‘he was a ‘RESCUER’’.
He told them with much determination and personal commitment he changed his habit of being a ‘RESCUER’, re-enforcing upon his clients they too could CHANGE – IT WAS THEIR CHOICE. He explained how for forty-four years he’d carried this ‘RESCUER’ tag around his neck, until he developed sufficient personal courage and self-belief in himself, to take it off and throw it away.
