In this episode we discuss:

Identifying the true thing that’s holding a client back
Using curiosity as a tool for conversation and avoiding judgment
How do you balance pushing clients out of their comfort zones while honoring boundaries?
Seeking feedback from clients to gauge progress
Fighting the natural tendency to make assumptions about a client
Listening to what’s not being said
And much more

“It's recognizing that the client in front of me is whole and complete, and they have the resources within — and have them pull it from themselves.” – Kristin Vesa
