ABSTRACT
Clients commonly come to initial encounters with helping professionals with a clear sense of the problem and what they want to be different. Where they are almost always less clear is how the different component parts operate to produce the cycles of stuckness they encounter. It is like they are in the middle of a tornado blowing around them, making it virtually impossible to make sense of what is going on. The practitioner’s job is to press pause on the tornado, so together with the client they can start to observe the different parts and identify how they are related to each other. These two skills are called discrimination and tracking.
