Such cases often require identifying and challenging these introjects.
Frequently clients have a difficult time recognizing introjects
as such. Yet the aim in helping them challenge their
introjects is to allow them to reevaluate these inner demands and
come to a true, reflective choice about whether they are indeed
congruent and meaningful for the individuals. To the extent that
they are reflectively considered to be authentic and appropriate, the
clients can then work to integrate them. To the extent that the
demands are considered inappropriate, the clients can begin to
experience, with support from their therapists, what it means to
discard them.
