042: Leaning on the Contract

Play Episode 42 Here Some sessions are going to go places we don't
want them to. When that starts to happen we can hope to be skillful
in moving things to the better direction. If we can see early on
that we're not likely to be successful at redirecting attention
later, it can be a good idea to pre-establish a contract so
we'll have something to lean on when it comes time to ask for a
pause or when we interrupt. In this episode I mention an earlier
blog piece on the same subject of establishing and leaning on the
contact which you can read here.
