When Clients Talk About Their Partners

Hey everyone! I’m keeping this discussion open-ended, but I’ve noticed that one area I sometimes struggle with as a therapist is when clients complain about their partners.

I’d love to hear how you navigate these conversations, knowing that the best approach will always depend on the specific relationship and situation. How do you balance validation while not placing interpretations on the partner, alongside help clients gain insight?

Would also love any recommendations on readings to assist in these areas!

Thanks in advance.
