Okay. But generally we go to t and say, I have this problem with the world. T says, let's see how we can change YOU to get along better. Not, let's play-act a situation, t will be the world, the client will act the same, and the t will change so the client doesn't suffer the consequences. Then the client hasn't learned anything. The client must change. We were effed up.
