2. Marie and John are a young couple who are very passionate and enjoy a very active sex life. They come to you for therapy and are concerned about their relationship. They have witnessed so many people around them having relationships that no longer are passionate or intimate.

3. 35-year old Corey has a job he absolutely hates, even though it pays him good money and he is vice president of his company. He works long hours, is constantly stressed, and has little time for his wife and family. Corey would love to work as a professional painter and photographer, but he feels this dream would be too impractical. Furthermore, he is concerned if he quits his job and pursues his passion, he will put himself and his family into financial jeopardy. They currently have a mortgage, and Corey is also working to put money into his children’s college fund and into his retirement. His wife is also a working professional, but feels Corey’s dream of wanting to be a professional artist is unrealistic and would hurt his chances to become president at his company. She does not want him to change his career at this time.
What would you recommend to Corey in his struggle to change careers and feel fulfilled in work?
