Cli\u00ebnten kunnen enorm lange verhalen hebben, helemaal uitgedacht en al vaak aan anderen verteld. Zo vaak dat het een absolute waarheid is geworden, geen speld tussen te krijgen. Met een gerichte vraag kan zij het verhaal laten voor wat het is en iemand in een keer in het hier en nu krijgen. Plots stopt het vertellen, en is er een stilte, een traan. De authenticiteit van die reacties is voelbaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ze is ook bijzonder veelzijdig in haar gesprekken. Scherp als dat nodig is: als iemand de waarheid ontwijkt, of onnodig kwetsend is. Compassievol, beide kanten zien, gedrag tegen de achtergrond van iemands verleden houden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En de krenten uit de pap vind ik de momenten dat zij achteraf opmerkt dat iets beter had gekund. Een gemiste opmerking, een te scherpe toon van haarzelf. Want weten dat je het ook niet allemaal weet, zelfs niet als je Esther Perel bent, dat maakt ons betere gesprekspartners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ik heb gepiekerd over welke aflevering ik nou zou aanraden, maar het is zo persoonlijk.
