Take Responsibility for Oneself as Client
First, take and keep responsibility for one’s self as a client. It is marvelous to feel the responsibility of one’s counselor standing by when one is in the throes of heavy discharge; but in between times it is best to remember to think about and plan for one’s own progress as a client. One will have much better sessions if one comes to them with an idea in mind of what one wants to work on, and allows even the most skilled counselor to fill his/her proper role as one’s helper rather than having to try to plan for the client.
