When did you last feel genuinely moved by a client — and did you let them know?
Karen Pando-Mars invites us to consider what happens when we allow ourselves to be truly affected. Not swept away — but present, open, real. That visibility isn’t a boundary violation. For many clients who grew up with emotionally absent caregivers, it may be the most corrective thing we offer.
Managed neutrality can feel safe. But the client whose attachment history taught them they were too much, too needy, too intense — that client needs to see that they matter to us. That they land.
What do you notice in yourself when you let a client’s pain actually reach you?

Bowlby taught us that the need for a secure base doesn’t end in childhood. In the therapy room, we become that base — not through method, but through presence.
When a client feels genuinely held by our consistency, our attunement, our willingness to stay — something in their nervous system begins to trust that the world might be different than they learned it was.
What does it feel like in your body when you’re genuinely offering that to a client?

So excited to see Karen’s book come to life. I am so fortunate to be in supervision with her. Her work with attachment patterns and how to utilize this knowledge to strengthen clinical practice, has greatly impacted my work with each individual. Plus I feel more connected and alive to the art of the therapy process. Therapist friends I highly recommend this book and plan to have a book club/study group. Join me. 🙂
