It was probably the fears come true thread?

I think it took the whole thread for people to finally reach the conclusion of the title, that that is what happens in t - your fears DO come true, and thats how you work thru them.

But that awareness wasnt present in the earlier responses, so we took the situation more literally, and less therapeutically at first. And that probably wasnt helpful. We were too much in the OP's shoes, wishing we had handled the t's situation differently

But its about the client, not the t. And our responses should be like on Jeopardy, not necessarily in the form of a question, but how can i be supportive here.
