Cultivating presence makes work as a therapist more effective.
It is the client's perception of the therapist that matters, not the therapist's perception of themselves. "Real freedom is the ability to pause between stimulus and response, and in that pause, choose which direction to throw our full weight—mind, body, emotions, and spirit." We often hear about the importance of “being present” as an employer, employee, colleague, parent, spouse, or friend; while making art, conversation, dinner.
While this seems over-recommended, vague, or intimidating to some, cultivating presence makes work as a therapist more effective. A friend glances a beat too long at their smartwatch (or straight-up reads an e-mail on it) while we talk to them. On the phone with our partner, we attempt to convey an important experience from our work day and notice their lack of attention. We have all experienced similar instances of lack of presence from important others, and we suspect we check out and tune out pretty often ourselves. And yet, we have all experienced someone whose fully present attention made us feel deeply seen and heard
