I'm sure T viewed the work differently, especially at the beginning. I think the real work is the growing closer together about one's view of the work so by the end of therapy both people are on the "same" page. It is kind of like two horses learning to work in tandem; at first they have different jobs, therapist horse is trying to match themselves to client horse and mitigate some of client's lunges in the wrong direction so that the therapy cart does not turn over but as client horse settles down and realizes this tandem work does not interfere with who s/he is, that bad things are not happening (cart turning over or therapist horse trying to force client horse in a "different" direction) and starts to understand what is wanted, is calm enough to pay better attention to the whole, then matching therapist's steps forward can occur and trusting therapist occurs to when a change of pace happens (going from walking to trotting to running) client horse can catch on faster and the work goes smoother.
