Biggest Takeaways:

🌙 “The most important thing between clients and therapists are not theories but a relationship��

🌙 Thinking of yourself (a therapist) and your client as fellow travelers together

🌙 If a client makes a statement/assumption about you; ask them “is there a question in there for me?�� Ex. “You must be hoping our session is over soon.��

🌙 Boredom during session? Express your feelings of disconnection in the session today and ask the client whether they feel disconnected from you today too (never say you are bored; use words like distanced, shut out, or disconnected)

🌙 Inquiring about the Here and Now during session can sound like:
✨“Let’s take a minute and see how you and I
are doing today��
✨“And feelings about the way we are
relating or working��
✨“Before we stop should we take a minute
to look at what is going on in this space
between us?��
✨“Before we stop let’s check in on our
relationship today��

🌙 “Strike when the iron is cold�� meaning if you notice something with a client that they could take poorly too, wait until they don’t show the behavior to bring it up gently.

🌙 “Therapists have everything to gain and nothing to lose with self disclosure to clients�� But always take into account “what is best for the client�� when self disclosing (what is your motive for self disclosure? Is it for the client?)

🌙 You do not need to be more healed then your client
