Thus, therapist observation of even the client's most camouflaged expression of a shame-linked need is a trigger for shame. What the client longs for-to find a listener for a "lost voice"-will necessarily be shaming, particularly in the beginning of therapy. Therefore, during activities that involve exploration of the inner self, the therapist must pay particular attention to possible signs' of the experience of shame in both client and therapist and to the felt quality of the relationship that such an experience of shame might imply.
