So, after several months of us working with a single session with Tom and Vicky, I am now posting the final section of this transcript. Before reading it you might want to review last month’s post and some of the insightful comments by your colleagues.

We begin this section with only about 10 minutes left in the session. Until this point, much of the focus has been on Tom. Now, I want to check in and work with Vicky before the session ends.

I step partially out of the Initiator-Inquirer framework. I don’t know Vicky very well yet and I want to understand her more completely.

•    How does she respond to Tom’s attack?
•    Is she afraid or angry?
•    How rigid are her defenses?
