Conversation Tennis
Therapy involves a steady back and forth volley of words, reflections, and responses that keep the session alive and moving forward... Much like this game.
Advent Calendar for Therapists
Day 3 of 24
Just like tennis, a therapy session about keeping the rally (or conversation) alive. Both therapist and client keep the ball in motion by returning thoughts, feelings, questions, and insight with curiosity instead of certainty, openness instead of finality.
This back and forth builds connection, momentum, and understanding -- and the longer the rally continues, the more room there is for something meaningful to emerge.
