Next time you find yourself making a judgement about a client - right/wrong, good/bad, approve/disapprove - take a moment and step back and see them as they are and not how they “should be”, allowing them to be who they are, how they are at this moment.
This is not an invitation to do away with the judgements, but merely to put them aside for the time.
The experience of accepting does not mean agreeing, approving, or even condoning, but merely allowing them for the moment to be just so.
What did you notice as a result of this? How did you make the shift? If you wanted to do more of this, how might you do it, remind yourself?

Rob,
is it a consideration that when we judge someone, we are really viewing the world through our own eyes without respect to the client? The question then is where would this lead to?
