I dunno, but first they have to read Yalom and adopt his practice of touching his patient at every visit and making home visits. (wait, looking around this joint--maybe not the home visit )

I think I would like them to trust us more. Trust our intellect and share more directly what they know about how the mind works so we can think about that and how it applies to us.

How to make their lives more satisfying? I can't think of anything that could be more satisfying than having me as her patient. Maybe if I was a twin?

I know they know the imbalance of the relationship but I don't think they always understand what it looks like from 'our chair'. I think maybe each session should begin with T stepping up onto a pedestal for a minute or two, to fully understand how we see them.
