Therapist Jason Wasser says identifying a client's core values before setting goals is essential. Without this clarity, clients repeat the same stuck patterns. Aligning goals with values creates lasting change.
clients that were driving me nuts or that I wasn't enjoying seeing. They weren't specific to the kind of clients I wanted to be seeing with the specific issues. Now I get to wake up every morning and look at my schedule and be really excited who's coming in that day. I'm not excited that they have issues, that they have to come to therapy, but, you know, I get to like walk into work every day loving my therapy clients and loving my coaching clients because I'm also trying to get them to that same place. And, you know, as much as this came from probably an entrepreneur or business mindset, it is so damn therapeutic. And now I'm going through with each of my clients, I can't help you get to a specific goal until I know your core values. And once I know your core values, then I can help you get there, because why would I lead you to a place that's already gotten you stuck because you weren't clear? And you're gonna keep making the same decisions that are keeping you stuck.
