DO be flexible. Clients aren't eggs, twelve standard to the box. They're individuals.
That's my therapist's greatest strength. He's willing to evaluate what's going on and change course if necessary.
And DO be committed to the therapeutic relationship. Trust is a big issue with so many of us. Knowing that a therapist can get angry, or feel frustrated, yet remain committed to working it through, is healing in itself.
