However, if you do not believe your clients, they may sense your doubt and never fully trust you. As Bruce Goderez (1986), director of a PTSD inpatient unit says, "It is important for the clinician and counselor to be willing to be made a fool."

Even if that client were to continue in therapy, they would never fully trust you. — Aphrodite Matsakis

in truth it's himself that makes this hard for him. When he's most himself, he's most aware of what's happening, where he's been and where he's going, how he has to get there. He knows when he's been raving, he knows when he's been lost entirely, he may perhaps have some ghost memory of each. And he knows there will be more of each to come, and less of this. Ultimately he knows there will be nothing, and that for him is worse than either. He can lie there and savour his own dying, feel the slow determined tread of it, chart every separate step he's yet to take. This terrifies him, but not so much as what follows, that logical final step, the being dead. — Chaz Brenchley
