In working with clients, it can be scary to tell them the truth. It's a risk. If a person has lived in illusions for a long time, your words can burn.
It's a conflict between what the cliens need and what they want. If the goal is genuinely to help, their need takes priority. This is where your professionalism shines in risky moments.
But I've noticed when people willingly accept the truth about themselves. In your eyes, they should read warmth, interest, and, dare I say it, love.
Twice they took blood from my vein. The first nurse was in a rush , so she wasn't present. The injection was painful, even though she followed the checklist. The second one worked with a person, not just a patient. It even lifted my mood.
Loving someone else requires honesty with yourself. Otherwise, you'll find yourself either forcing their rescue, watching from a distance, or scolding them for their mistakes.
During your work, you should disappear but be actively present. Then the client will feel like they're the center of a mini-universe. In ordinary life, such an experience is rare. Changes happen on their own.
Sincerely yours,
