Introduction
During this paper I will look at what self-defeating behaviour (SBD) is. Look at classes of SBD and potential options for treatment using the TIME and HINDSITE models.

Using HINDSITE without considering a multimodal approach or originating issue seems unrealistic. Similarly, using TIME without considering the clients honesty or empowerment also seemed unrealistic.
Additionally, the subject matter is not an end to end process but more a cycle. Recognising a first time fix may not often happen, I’ve merged the models into one cyclical model (below). The model considers that there may need to be re-assessment at any time given a change of information, model, tool and level of success. It is not meant to signify a constant cycle of solution/resolution, but rather recognise the journey.

Within each of the sections, the counsellor needs to make a choice appropriate to the client. Maybe starting with CCT to support open conversation; understand client goals, history, values, beliefs, rationale for change and so forth. Equally, psychoanalysis may be used if the issue clearly has roots in the development. Perhaps a Thought Record to identify patterns of behaviour ready for the next discussion. However, an easily bored client may need such exploration done during a counselling session as recording issues may feel back facing and counterproductive. Modality may be key; they may like to draw a picture instead of writing a
