WHAT CONVERSATION ARE YOU AND YOUR CLIENT?

I began this series of articles from a quotation, “You are a conversation.” So if indeed, you are a conversation and your client is a conversation, then—

• What conversation are you and your client?
• What kind of conversations can people be?
• What are the possibilities for being a conversation?

The generic answer is that you (and your client) are the conversation that you have had, and continue to have, in your mind as you think, feel, and language the meaning of things.

So, for example, if you think in terms of being a victim to other people’s actions and if you hold an inner conversation of “having no choice,” that you “have to” think-and-feel as you do, then you will feel like a victim and that will energize you to talk and act like a victim. “Victimhood” will result as your conversation, your inner game. You will then be the victim that you language for yourself. That would be the conversation that you are.
