		<description><![CDATA[What does your doctor do when you tell her or him that you&#8217;re not getting better? What would you do if her response was &#8220;more of the same&#8221;?

		<description><![CDATA[Many clients wonder why I so frequently ask them questions about how the session was, whether we are on the right track, whether there&#8217;s anything I did or said that didn&#8217;t work for them, and so on.
