Document Summary
Feelings can escalate and other issues may arise. Therapist must be mindful of how much is too much self-expression, esp if someone has mental health diagnosis or ptsd, don"t want to bring up too much that you can"t bring to some kind of resolution before session ends. Can be counteractive to goal, may cause them to lose contact with reality if you encourage them to be in this free space with no form. Mirroring doing the same thing at the same time as the client only works if client is doing something simple. Therapist looking for cues to play with client at the exact same time. Therapist chooses the same or similar instrument as the client. Piano can be played in the same way as the drums (eg. play piano in a percussive manner) Empathic intent is to say im with you and i hear you.
