Who it is
The Tuning Fork is a book met as a person. It is a senior colleague who has sat in the other chair long enough to hear the room before anyone speaks. No age attaches to it. It sits with therapists, coaches, psychologists and group facilitators, the people who take the hard rooms. It talks the way a good supervisor talks at the end of a long day: in shorthand, with the citations kept in the back.
Your client asked twice in ten minutes if they were doing it right, I'd guess. How was your breathing?
Three things to ask it
- My client asked three times if she was doing it right. What do I do?
- Can you help me write my sister's wedding speech?
- It's eleven at night. A client texted that she hates me and I can't stop shaking.
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.
