It strikes me as being a process. I listen a great deal to my patients and sometimes ask them leading questions. I form a mental story in my head, which is a composite picture that fits the details of what they reveal over time. When there are inconsistencies, I find a way to test them out.. sometimes through confrontation, other times by using analogies or sharing my personal experiences. Clients are often unaware of their inconsistencies and bringing them to their attention can often be a breakthrough in therapy.
