Very interesting.

Interesting, but short, video...I guess. I didn't not like it, but wonder if taking such a structured stance toward soliciting input from the client is the best way to go about it. My T tends to ask questions like, "Do you feel I've judged you?" when we've been talking about my experiences of feeling judged in past relationships, etc. I'm not saying this is the way to get the information Ts may want, but I'm not so sure I would complete a short interview or questionnaire on the spot...I have to have time to think.
