“Mary, let me tell you something. For the last several minutes I notice that I’ve been feeling disconnected from you, somewhat distanced. I’m not sure why, but I know I’m feeling different now than at the beginning of the session, when you were describing your feelings of not having gotten what you wanted from me, or last session, when you spoke more from the heart. I wonder, what is your level of connection to me today? Is your feeling similar to mine? Let’s try to understand what’s happening.”
