2. I tell my clients on their first visit, that we
hardly focus on things in our life that are right.
But when things go wrong, we are continually
worrying about it and it now becomes a central
focus – I assure them that this is normal.
But I also point out to them that because they
are always concerned about their problem, they
see things differently about that then those of
us to whom it isn’t a problem.
To demonstrate this, I get them to do the Jesus
picture...
