I love my sessions with Client A! She’s come so, so far - I think that after week 6 I’m going to be worried what the heck there is left for her to accomplish! I think she’s feeling that way too, but hopefully we can dig below the surface a bit. I mean, how can someone get a hold of their finances, form meaningful relationships, and discover their life’s work all in 12 short weeks? Or 6?! Even if it looks that way on the surface I’m not convinced that there isn’t more there.

In terms of my own “performance” today, I definitely listened more and spoke less. I asked for permission before giving a suggestion. I still gave her multiple choice questions, but I also noticed myself recognizing these and trying (& sometimes succeeding!) to trail off instead of offering the answers themselves.

I’m trying to focus on the heartfelt Thank Yous I get from Client A. Even when I feel like I haven’t helped, I think of how she says “Thank you” - sincerely - and tell myself that my time and efforts are being well received. I’m really looking forward to see where my first client takes me (as well as herself)!

Today I’m grateful for spring.
