David: How about your dad – why don’t you pretend I’m dad?

Client: Okay.

David: Without even working it out, or thinking it out, I want you to say honestly what’s there for you to say.

Client: I basically feel that I come second to now to your new family. I feel that the plans that you make are based firstly on what works best for Carmen and her children, and whatever time is left is set aside for my son and me. I realize that I don’t reach out and I don’t talk to you every day, like Carmen’s daughter calls her every day. I’d like to change that. I’d like to call – maybe not every day – but call more often. I’d just like us to be closer.

David: Wow! That was beautiful, Kelly!

Client: Well, thanks.

David: That was like someone that had done three years in communication study. That was just beautiful and straight.
