How to Talk to Anyone

Chapter 1: Small Talk in Therapy

Jane bounces into her session.

How are you? How's your week going? I guess that's your question, huh? She smiles and stirs her coffee. Can you believe this weather? I mean, wow. It sure is hot. She settles into her chair. Did you see the Laker game Sunday? I do not know what is wrong with them. If they do not begin playing D, the Celts are gon na sweep the series. Like Boston needs another champion. Is that a new t-shirt?

Jane is making small talk. She's chitchatting, chewing the fat, shooting the breeze and/or bull. Astute insight into the NBA Finals aside, Jane appears all set to go over every little thing except herself.

In the vein of client empowerment, I have got 3 things to say about small talk:

1. Clients are permitted discuss anything they want

2. Clients should never feel obligated to make small talk

3. If it becomes a big part of treatment, there could be an issue

You're welcome to shoot the breeze with your therapist. It's your penny and your time, you can discuss anything you choose. Weather, sports, style, politics, television shows, trivia - all sections of the paper are fair game. Some therapists could ask why you have chosen today's topic, or suggest other items to talk about, but you do not need to bite. | small talk isn't forbidden, you can guide the boat in any direction you 'd like.

Having said that, talk in therapy can be an enormous waste of your money and time. Let's say you banter for the first 10 minutes of each session, you pay $100 per session, and you're in treatment a year. Your table talk will cost you around
