Keep in Mind That the Benefits That Your Client Derives from the Session Will Be Mainly Achieved Outside the Session

When your client has a specific problem for which they are seeking help, it is vital that you keep in mind that they will usually derive most benefit from the session after it is over. As Cannistrà (2022 : 16) said, in SST, ‘the therapist approaches the session with the idea that the client spends far more time in their own life than in therapy, and therefore that the session should in some way trigger change outside itself, even if that change may begin during the time spent with the therapist’. The main exception to this is when the client makes a frame change in the session that does not need to be practised later. Given this, you need to help your client in the session to best prepare themself for implementing the change later.
