That obviously doesn't apply to all clients. Certainly not the Stopdog.  |
Right - I was just saying everyone does not feel that they are not as powerful as the therapist. But I don't tend to go to powerless in general. It can happen of course, but it is not the usual for me. I tend to become more frustrated by their lies, manipulations and opaqueness such that one must go to greater lengths to understand what they are doing at the client. For me, I suppose, I am helped by the refusal to play along until I have understood what they are attempting to do at me.
