The client who looks fine.
She’s on time. She did the homework. She apologizes for taking up your session.
She looks like your easiest client.
She may also be the one you’re most likely to miss.
Desirae knows this woman from both chairs: as an LCSW, and as the patient who woke up paralyzed and thanked the medical team anyway. She shows clinicians how perfectionism, appeasement and self-erasure hide in plain sight, and why the client who never complains can be the hardest to reach.
Perfect forTherapists, social workers, mental-health organizations and clinical conferences.
