That method of "assembly line" therapy would never have worked for me, amandalouise. I don't do well with pressure and time lines. Everyone needs something different. For me, what I needed more than anything else was just for someone to hear me, be there for me and accept me. I needed the human connection. The rest just worked itself out. I would think losing sight of the human factor in this would make therapy much less effective for many. Therapy shouldn't be about clients conforming to therapist's needs/desires. I realize that you are on a time-limited basis with these clients, but sometimes simply being there for someone can be more healing than having all of the answers.
