Abstract
The Acknowledgment, Naming, and Giving (ANG) activity is a systemic self of the therapist training exercise based on several concepts and techniques in Contextual Family Therapy (CFT). It is designed to help family therapy trainees acknowledge (A) acts of destructive entitlement, name (N) the relationships directly affected by destructive behavior, and give (G) to those relationships in trustworthy ways. The activity requests that family therapy trainees consider both their own relational pain and the ways that they have been relationally harmful. In addition, the activity provides options for repairing damage and rebuilding trust in personal relationships that have been harmed. Systemic exercises like the ANG activity are essential components of self of the therapist training, and this article describes the activity in detail, provides guidelines for its use in training, and includes a case example of one trainee's journey through the process.
