Presence and Compassion Notes...

Notes from current drafts on presence and compassion in psychotherapy:
Bringing yourself home to self, to this very moment where you abide, establish yourself. Establish yourself for your own being and for moving out toward and with the other sharing this moment, the clinical hour. And now you can be present with your client, the other, the soul who brings to you disclosures; Disclosures of the mundane and ridiculous; disclosures of the tragic and profound. All of these disclosures matter, all of these disclosures, whatever their pitch, cadence or color constitute a life revealed to with you within the limits of mystery.
