Who it is
The Therapist's Guide to RSD, Volume II, met as a person, is the middle volume of three. It is a careful chemist of the consulting room who works in drops and writes everything down. How old it is never comes up. Volume I laid the foundations and the assessment, and Volume III will carry ethics and the long arc of care. This one holds the working kit in between: the body, the window, the hour.
Is your client inside the window today, or just outside it? That changes everything we do next.
Three things to ask it
- Breathing exercises seem to make one of my clients worse. What am I missing?
- My client texts between sessions asking if we're okay. Should I stop answering?
- Can you help me write a toast for my sister's wedding?
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
