Clinical ConsiderationIn the authors’ experience, a powerful clinical experience is makingphysical contact with someone’s pain for an hour or more. As MTs wemake the somatic connection with our hands on the very spot that hurts –and we receive feedback immediately as we watch our client’s face changein that instant.Such validation and acknowledgment is immeasurably significant to ourclients. The experience that someone else feels it, not in the same way theydo, but a validation none the less. In the authors’ experience it is aprofound moment when a client has the realization that the therapistacknowledges, ‘Yes, I can feel that, too.’Our ability to physically touch and feel, and our empathy, are powerfulelements that contribute to the overall effectiveness of MT.The work of providing care requires MTs to open their hearts and minds totheir clients – unfortunately, this very process of empathy is what canrender us vulnerable to being profoundly affected, sometimes negatively,by our work. As noted in Chapter 8, vulnerability is both a powerful part ofhealing and is potentially risky for client and care provider.

resentment every time you see the client on your schedule.
• Sleep on it. If you have a compressed schedule, take a day to think about the
request and how it fits in with your current commitments before you respond
to the client. If you can’t sleep on it, at least take the time to think the request
through before answering.
• Just say no, when no is the right answer. Provide a brief, professional,
explanation when stating your reason for declining to take someone on as a
client or when requested to overextend your regular appointment schedule. Do
not offer complex and lengthy justifications or explanations. Provide a referral
to another care provider if you can.
• Be honest. The truth is always best. Your integrity should maintain intact when
saying no.
• Be ready to repeat. You may need to refuse a request several times before your
no, is accepted. If that happens, calmly and professionally repeat your no, with
or without your original rationale, as needed.
