I thought you'd be curious to hear an anecdote too: yesterday I used the Metaphorical Moment script on a client who I'd been feeling stuck with for several weeks- I actually had the thought "if this doesn't work, I'm either referring out or they're firing me." Well, it went off without a hitch, although the client had a relatively flat affect upon completion. I was a little disappointed, but let them know they could reach out for more sessions if desired. This morning I received a message that they can't remember ever feeling as steady and calm as they do today and want to be sure they can get another session scheduled for next week (we typically meet every other). Their exact words, "I don't know what that was, but I feel like I woke up with a fresh set of eyes!" They'd put on rose colored glasses in the director's scene!
