ABSTRACT

Dave arrived on time, and looked positive. ‘Hi Alan, things are feeling good again. A good week.’ Dave’s eye contact was much steadier, Alan thought. Interesting that it had made such an impact on him. He had not forgotten the supervision discussion around concern for Dave’s mood and suicidal potential, but it did not feel pressing, and to introduce it would take Dave away from his current focus. He let it go and stayed with what Dave had said and kept his response simple to allow Dave to continue.
