Quotes by David McPhee  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Jack-Jack was a 15-year-old boy with a cop fixation. I was still pretty green. He asked me to shut my eyes, and I thought “This could build trust , and I’ll just close them for five seconds, tops.” That was more than enough for Jack-Jack to expertly handcuff me—with three seconds to spare. (He did not Mirandize me, but I stayed silent anyway, acting like a bored, non-reactive gray rock, and he released me in less than a minute.) I am not sure what Jack-Jack got out of the session, but I learned a lesson about letting a kid get ahead of me, for sure.”

“Client-centered therapy is an open, genuine conversation between two equals—the client and a trained expert. The therapist isn’t there to judge or offer pat solutions. Instead, they listen with empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. They create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their strengths for growth, change, and personal fulfillment, helping them become the best version of the unique, irreplaceable person they are.”

“It was a fairly long therapy, almost a year, but that breakthrough in the first session set the stage for success. We became a “team of two” that day. Nate became trusting, open, and ready to express, explore and resolve his horrible childhood, and my job was to provide unconditional empathy, care, a supportive presence, and to create a safe space for his beautiful work.”
