What do I hear?
I always ask clients, “How do you feel?” Today the client replies, “I am so sore”, which easily sounds like, “I want more”. It was an innocent mistake but humorous. A lot of times clients say, “I can’t do anymore.” What I hear is, “I can do more”. Sometimes a client says, “I am dying,” and I say to them, “You are living.” Occasionally a clients says, “My muscles are hurting,” and I tell them, “Your muscles are changing.”
What I hear isn’t always what you say. I am not only listening to your words. I hear your tone, your body language or facial expression. I hear it all and take it all into consideration when I ask the question, “How do you feel?”
