Science to be alive. The dialogue between therapist and patients in humanistic therapy (№ 396093)

- You are right. OK, so I know that you don't feel right when people find you in warm feelings and compassion, but, Frank, I think the time has come to deal with this awkwardness, so you can live a normal life. I don't think you should continue to stay - at least to the same extent for the myth of the awesome guy who feels no feelings, needs no one and no one is concerned.
- Not so fast, Jim. Frank was really scared. His voice was so hoarse, as if he is on the edge of a precipice, where I probably really pushed.
- Yes, I hear you.
Jim, for a minute I really was able to hear you, and it's a pain in my liver. And you're right, but it scares the hell out of me. Oh my God, Jim, I'm really afraid. I just want to run the hell out of here, run and run without stopping. Want to forget about everything we talked about all the people in the group and especially Jennifer. - His voice was shaking.
This session was one of those magical moments that randomly occur with some patients and never happen with others - a time when people are open towards the inside and can see what usually hides from himself; the moment when I allow in the most secret corners of another soul; a sacred moment.
