This was a tremendous entry and helped me see some things from a new perspective. I think that what I have gathered from this author will help me in my practice and make me more intentional in my work. I agree with all that has been said here.

Rather than doing what he had learned in text books, he listened to his own intuition and really helped this woman in the way she needed it the most. A dying person doesn't need to be bothered with reaching potential. Instead, he or she needs to know that he or she is not alone and is understood.

I think part of it is fear that I am not adequate in my judgment and that all that I learned in school is much superior to anything I could come up with on the fly.

I think we do often focus too much on the theories and rules of therapy we were taught in school rather than really being present with a client.
