There’s no escaping from desire. From the time we’re children, we worry and want — I wish I were bigger, I want a new bike, I hope I don’t fail the spelling test. The desire for a better life is in us all. And while it often leads to frustration and a sense of failure, that same desire is the driving force behind the successes we do achieve. Of course, no one succeeds in life alone. Everyone benefits at some point from a bit of wise advice, a kind word, or even a harsh critique. Think of all the times you yourself have been carried through a crisis supported by the words of others. If the time came for you to be the one giving support, what kind of job do you think you would do?
You are a psychotherapist with a private counseling service. In what kind of room do you hold your therapy sessions? Describe the room in detail.
Your first patient for the day has arrived. What problem does he or she want to talk over with you, and what kind of counsel do you give?
You sit across from the patient and give your professional advice. What kind of reaction do you get from the patient?
Office hours are done for the day, and you’re at your desk doing paperwork when someone bursts in. Who is this person coming to you after hours? (Use the name of a person you know when answering.)
