We’ve all been there. That leaden, heavy feeling that descends during a session, as if a thick blanket of hopelessness has been thrown over both you and your client. When a client feels they are "beyond help," it’s incredibly easy to get sucked into that reality and experience what I call "professional impotence." But here’s the thing: feeling hopeless about a client doesn't mean the situation is hopeless. It usually just means we’ve lost our objective "meta-view." In this article, I share how to recognise when you’ve caught your client's despair, and how to step back to find your therapeutic footing again. I hope you'll find it useful, and don't forget to sign up for my newsletter to get articles like this sent to your inbox every week.
