ABSTRACT
Wednesday 21 May ‘I w ant to drink . . . and I don’t w ant to drink.’ Gary paused, he was confused.
‘Does that make sense?’ ‘You w ant to drink, you feel th a t urge clearly, but you also feel an urge not to
drink as well. Two very different experiences.’ Rick felt it did make sense and he hoped his empathic response conveyed the sense tha t he felt from w hat Gary had been saying.
