i read something once about how the moments in therapy that are striking to the therapist are often quite different from the moments in therapy that are striking to the client. the therapist tends to think the most significant moments are when they make some insight they are all proud of. the client tends to think the most significant moment is when they got some sense of emotional connection. sometimes therapists don't know precisely what they do that we get so much out of...

Was that Irvin Yalom? He wrote when he asked his clients to wrote down what they remembered about session, it was the little things. He was shocked-- he thought they would remember his 'brilliant' interpretations, his insight-- the things that matter to the client were so very different than that.

I remember when my T recalled a part of a dream that we had discussed weeks prior. I remember the way that he looks so engaged when I'm talking... the time he laughed hysterically at something I said...

Brilliant interpretations? I don't remember if he made any. lol.
