#17. Seek to be Disconfirmed (Therapy Tip of the Week #5)

Dissonance can be a powerful ingredient for learning. How do we challenge our intuition in order to listen to our client's unspokens in order to foster a deeper connection with them?

In this video, I recommend an exercise that I use called the "Rate and Predict," to help me open up the conversation in therapy.
