This podcast is the narrated version of my article 3 Psychotherapy Techniques That Identify Your Client’s Real Problem.

Some clients are clear on what they want to achieve in therapy. Others present an amorphous cloud of detail that can hypnotize us with by detail, leaving us almost as confused and overwhelmed and they are.

In this episode I talk about:

  • How to avoid getting bamboozled by your client
  • How to discover what are they not getting from their life
  • What ‘faulty pattern matching’ is going on?
  • What are your client’s metaphors telling you?
