Jim grew up in a very critical family. Both his father and mother felt that there were certain right ways to do most things. As Jim grew up he was always given very precise instructions about what to do and how to behave. If he did not follow the instructions exactly, he would be criticized or even punished. Now, as a young adult he is often afraid to try anything new for fear of doing it wrong. For the same reason, he will seldom make decisions. At times he feels that he just can’t do anything right. Jim has little contact with his parents since he knows that they are disappointed in him. Jim has trouble making decisions and feels like a failure most of the time.
