Client as Expert & The Inner-Subjective Question

We may have heard of this exchange before - a client asks the therapist “What should I do?”, and the therapist says “What do YOU think you should do?”. Perhaps that is a good question. Yet there is an even more effective and artful way to help a client understand their motivations and desires. This begins with the inner subjective process - which means the inner life and unique personal experience in relation to self, others and society. In my role as therapist, I help clients go more deeply into the their feelings and perspectives around present day situations and personal histories. From there, I help synthesize new understandings by connecting what they are sharing to what they have shared before, and linking the discussion back to the identified goals and highest good. Often times, having this kind of reflective space is a rare and unknown experience for my clients - and it offers an opportunity for true transformation. If you, or someone you know, would benefit from this type of counseling please contact me for a free phone consultation.
