In my coaching session, I came to appreciate more deeply how important it is to clarify the essence, and that there is still benefit even if I wasn't quite right. I tried to stop writing everything down and allowed myself to be ok with catching what spoke to me about what the client was saying "underneath" the words. If I got it right, I helped the client make true sense of their own thoughts. If I got it wrong, the client was still able to clarify and refine the essence of their thought. Either way, I realized I am helping the client understand their own thinking.
