What One Can Do
To pay attention with respect, to be interested, to act as if you cared (and to really care, of course, since you can’t fake it), to be validating, to be positive and confident and hopeful, to not resonate with the hopelessness, this is all one can do. That’s all there is to RC . . . [initially]. As the safety grows, other things will tend to happen spontaneously. You don’t ever need to manipulate the person.
