There’s clearly a ‘truth’ that clients present to practitioners which calls for a creative response.

Part of empowering parties, I’m seeing better now, is in fact a process of allowing parties to co-create each progressive step with us. Hence, the non-directive style that Mark Umbreit often refers to, not only applicable within facilitated meetings but also throughout case development. Forgive me, Howard, for naming all of these parallels (as if your two vocational interests must somehow justify each other). Nevertheless, the linkages are there, and it was helpful for me to find some new language around that.
