One of the most common things clients will say to me after an emotional session is: “This must be so hard for you, how do you do this all day?” As everyone does, I do of course have bad days and confusing moments; but what I do is more often than not very engaging and doesn’t feel like work at all. The difficulties aren’t the intense sessions or even the ones with lots of conflict. It’s when I see a couple parting ways when from my point of view the situation is very workout-able AND I see change right around the corner if only they could stick with it for awhile longer. Sometimes it is right for a couple to separate, but that’s a different conversation for another time.
