VERY interesting!
Question: Client comes into a sesison where t is having difficulty swtiching gears. Client needs a lot, and it is intense for the client, but t is off in la-la land, still getting grounded. What is a client to do? I wouldnt want to be there! I have felt this more times with desk-t than I can possibly say. She is preoccupied and distracted, for who knows what reason. Once, in the middle of a sentence, she got a light knock on the door and said "one minute, I have an emergency" and she left the room to take a call? To do something? She didnt return right away. It was more than a couple of minutes. She returned and said, "Dont worry, I'll give you a couple of extra minutes at the end." I felt like an obligation. I didnt want to talk after that and felt weird. She never acknowledged that I might have had feelings about that. The other times she has been distracted are not in as obvious a way as in this example, but what does a cliet do? Say, "You seem distracted, are you OK?" Who's the t, who's the client? I guess in a closer t relationship it is more OK to say that.

Anyway, I know its up to me to say how I feel, and she cant read my mind, but this is a good example of where a t can be more sensitive to what a client MAY be feeling. And it ties in with this thing about a t swtiching gears and being preoccupied in a session. What should we do? What should t do? Say, "Im sorry, Ms. Client, I cant be completely with ya right now, Im having a moment of distraction." Im talking about when they arent fully aware of the effect it has on us, not like Tree's t that (after his learning experience) he that grounds himself well now.
Do you know what I mean?

Thanks for the giggle! Id feel the same!
