In my work, I listen to what the client speaks verbally and through his or her body. I pay special attention to client's unspoken words.

I am also impacted by client's painful experiences and resonate with his or her feeling states. Through becoming a witness to client's painful past, the client can become free of his or her earlier experiences and can feel joy and pleasure of living, being alive, loving, and being loved.
