Status Updates From The Gift of Therapy: an Ope...

"Just think of speaking to me. What do you imagine?" "Kissing you on the lips." I feel like this part was breezed over because Yalom did not talk about what to do when clients believe they have feelings for their therapist or how to set boundaries. The book instead attempted to fit this situation into the here-and-now approach

ok but if a client told me the same story again i would not tell them im impatient

This is so good 👏👏👏

Omg why is Yalom insisting on describing female clients as attractive? Even to their faces? He doesn’t comment on male appearances so ew??

Excited to read more from a psychotherapist who draws inspiration from Rilke and Tillich.

"All of this echoes Rilke’s letters to a young poet in which he advises, “Have patience with everything unresolved and try to love the questions themselves.” I would add: “Try to love the questioners as well.”
