I think there's a profound insight here. T will always
start with a textbook clinical response. What happens next depends on how you respond to that.
Does the patient sulk, cry, shout, demand to be loved? You can both learn a lot from that reaction (or so the theory seems to go). Because not everyone responds the same way. And later on, you may get a warmer response.
