Consequence of the session?

Henry, I read through the entire demonstration and found it interesting. The demonstartions closes with this comment:

[A few hours after the demonstration, the client came up to the therapist and said, "I have thought a lot about this. Now I don't have to do this any more." It was not necessary to go any further with this issue. The purpose of the brief counseling demonstration had been achieved. The client decided to give up the symptom. If he goes in a different direction that adds to his well-being, that can be enough for the moment.]

The implication seems to be that the client's procrastination will now stop. Is that what you intended?
