A client says something difficult.
Then they go quiet.

You feel the pull to say something.
To move things forward.

And you’re not sure what.

You’re not unprepared.

You’re trying to track everything
while also trying to choose the right thing.

Those are two different tasks.

You’re in the session.

You’re listening.
You’re present.

But inside, you’re trying to figure it out.

Should I ask something?
Stay with this?
Shift the direction?

You can feel there are multiple options.

And that’s what makes it harder to choose any of them.

You’re not stuck because you don’t know enough.

You’re trying to track everything
while also trying to choose the right thing.

Those are two different tasks.

When they happen at the same time, clarity drops.
