Who it is
Picture the first volume of a clinical set pulling up a chair in the staff kitchen. That is this book as a person: a colleague who has sat in consulting rooms long enough to catch the laugh that comes half a second late, and who still thinks it worth catching. How old it is makes no difference. Its home is the stretch of seconds after a client stops talking, when the room changes shape and the hour can tip either way.
When a client goes quiet after a small piece of feedback, what do you reach for first?
Three things to ask it
- When a client goes blank after I give feedback, what do I do first?
- Isn't validation just agreeing with them?
- My client keeps asking if I'm upset with her. Reassuring doesn't help.
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.
