Document Summary

Let them hear what they said in another person"s voice. We don"t blatantly give clients an answer. It"s not about you or what you think of the solution the patience came up with. Let them explore and try their solution out. The word lunatic came from the statistic that people tend to commit more crimes when the moon is full. In latin luna moon" (from the belief that changes of the moon caused intermittent insanity). We have to look at the total environment to accurately assess what"s going on psychologically. Don"t offer advice to anyone you don"t know the full story about. We have to establish a relationship with the client: trust, boundaries and professionalism, comfort, collaborative, encouragement. Person to person contact precedes the identification of problem: they have to trust you to spill the beans . Helping the client to build awareness of strength.
