We worked through a mock-session where she “played client”.  She felt it was exploratory and it clarified her goals.  She helpfully gave some tips for further development.

I will probably explore the demand for CL services (self-esteem/other, coaching/ training; funded/ voluntary).  If anyone is interested in exploring this with me, let me know.  I’m thinking of focusing on, say 6 months + after the domestic violence has finished and other have helped with practical issues.

For some reason I feel the need to clarify that I don’t have any experience of domestic violence;  I’m interested in useful ways to use Clean Language.

Here are some links I’ve placed here, mostly as a note to myself.
