Sitting with a psychotherapy patient, a therapist can suddenly feel pain, empathy, fear, rage, envy and even boredom. 

In my experience, most therapies begin with a nasty cough. That is not to say that the issues that lead people to seek help are minor.

In my time as a psychotherapist, no one has ever asked for a heart that’s abloom.

Did the anger register in their bodies, or was it just in their heads? Did they want to lash out, or pull back into a defensive shell?

Many people, who come to therapy, spend a great deal of time reflecting on themselves and why they are the way they are.
