Thats why i see a philosopher!
But i am more interested in what the client is saying to himself, about himself, as well as what the t is saying about herself to herself. I dont think its valid to speculate on what each person is saying about what the other is thinking - i mean, how could they possibly know? That exercise strikes me as putting the responsibility for change on the other person. Each person can only do what they are responsible for.
