The comment "what's missing," often invites a client to continue reflecting after a session's completion. That can be very powerful for some people. ( so they tell me)

I personally like "what's Missing" it made me actually think of something that is missing for me, which in turn actually puts me in touch with how to gain it. Simple - But powerful. Thank you Rob

I think personally "what are we or you overlooking" is a good phrase as it sends the client on a sort of quest, which is an enjoyable challenge and less confronting. What are you or we missing seems to imply an error on the cleats part or maybe that projection on my... probably so, but maybe not I'm just trying to cover all the bases. Is it better to use the word we or you? Does the word we help form a therapeutic alliance or disempower the client?

I really enjoy all of this, Thanks for therapeutic alliance you form with your colleagues and clients multitasking. Especially the one on one sessions, whether spontaneous (or contrived) you can see what a difference it makes to the individual with countertransference and the change in facial expression, mood, behaviour and beliefs in possibilities from the beginning of the session til the end. of it I feel vicariously happy watching your "work".

My clients have has successes with your suggestion to me to invite them to explore what is missing, as it automatically implies solution. Ah, if only this.....
