• The Focuser tells her story
• The Listener gives reflections
• The Focuser resonates and gives feedback if necessary

Part Two: The Double Empathic Moment

• Full Empathic Response by both the Listener and Focuser

Part Three: The Interactive Response

• Exchange roles and repeat Part One and Part Two

Part Four: The Interactive closing, The Relationship Check

• How they now feel about each other and
• How they now feel about themselves.
