The Client's Dance - the client's process: the therapeutic relationship

"The Client's Dance is a metaphor for the client's communication - their dynamics and behaviour in a therapy session. Anything and everything I do is based around The Client's Dance. I take notice and sense the client's experience instead of doing to or applying onto the client. Working in this way is about bearing in mind and noticing the client's uniqueness, their specialness, their limitations, where they might be stuck, the client's resourceful parts and their own immediate experience - the client's own process." Barrie St John
