ABSTRACT
To paraphrase the opening line from M. Scott Peck’s famous self-help book, The Road Less Travelled, therapy is difficult. It is filled with uncertainty, mistakes, complicated issues, and distress. It can be an intensely personal process between two individuals that is incredibly meaningful, and at the same time, isolating and lonely. As the practitioner witnesses incredible growth and change, they also hear and see the depths of despair and pain. We sit with people who are suffering and stuck who both desperately want the practitioner to understand how impossibly difficult their situation is, while at the same time want their situation to be radically different.
