You said it
The most powerful word in the English language.
And one of the most useful words for counsellor and client.
Click on the picture so you get to my Flickr and then click on "all sizes" and you will see the large size. One of my better photographs I find.

Chairs and counselling
This is my consulting room where I provide wise counsel
I sit in the floral chair on the right and the client usually sits in the one on the left. Sometimes clients pick other chairs and I adjust my sitting position accordingly at least temporarily.
Here is a picture of me providing wise counsel. Notice how empathetic I am and how attuned I am to the client at this point.
Here is a picture of me using humour in the counselling process. I am telling the one about the dyslexic guy who walked into a bra.
This is a picture taken from behind the counsellors chair and looking towards the chair that the client would usually be sitting in.
Notice how the chairs are not actually facing each other but are sitting in parallel. This provides for the narcissistic gap that counsellors require when conuselling over long periods of time

WARNING, WARNING!!
Stay indoors!!
Do not leaves your homes!!
I just went out to get some supplies from my local supermarket. It is in a area where there is a plethora of cafes, coffee shops and restaurants.
I have never seen so many mothers and their corresponding offspring in one place at one time. It was soooo crowed with buskers, hawkers and the lot. It was packed.
What every one of those people want from their mother
Say you love me.
Those simple words that can give a mother so much power and/or so much angst.

If the world had only 100 people
57 would be Asian.
21 would be European.
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere.
8 would be African.
52 would be female.
48 would be male.
70 would be nonwhite.
30 would be white.
70 would be non-Christian.
30 would be Christian.
89 would be heterosexual.
11 would be homosexual.
6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire world's wealth, and all
6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing.
70 would be unable to read.
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death.
1 would be pregnant.
1 would have a college education.
1 would own a computer
This maybe a bit unfair on the US as Rupert Murdoch maybe one of the six and he became a US citizen for money reasons. Perhaps others have as well.

Happy mother's day
I should write a post on mothers. As a psychotherapist you see them get a terrible onslaught in the counselling room. I do feel for them at times. The vast majority are just trying to do their best.
I should do a post on the Parent Interview technique. I always like doing those and that would help out mothers on this day of days.
