Synchronicity in Counselling
It’s surely happened to all of us, and it will probably turn up at some stage in your therapy rooms, too: a client confides that, just when she was thinking of someone from the past whom she hadn’t seen for many years but who had a huge impact on her life, she runs into that person in a highly “coincidental” way. Another client feels despairing about gaining clarity on his life, and no amount of “talking cure” in session has helped him. Then, when he is doing something totally unrelated to thoughts about his future, something happens to put the answer plainly in front of him — and it’s so obvious that he can’t believe he didn’t think of it before. »
