A bus session

The other day, I had the unique opportunity to do a addiction education session on a bus. We were suppose to meet at a coffee shop, but the client was late for work, and the bus was the only feasible option at the time. This was first for this writer. I try to have a completely, confidential place for each client's needs. Being creative in our 1:1 sessions  in my experience is a positive! Sitting in the middle of the bus, next to each other while other people getting on and off the bus heading to the city. Voices of all of kinds, filled with all different kind of faces. This particular client, (I gleaned as we hit the stops) was very popular on this bus ride! We began reviewing the goals, doing our mood check in, when all of sudden a stranger, (I thought) began listening to our session. I realized this stranger was a peer, maybe even a close friend, ok, how about a girlfriend. Soon I had two voices going back and forth with our conversation. I decided to roll with it, what am I going to do? I never knew that this other person could help me elicit the responses that can help this writer be a better helper? At the end of bus ride, (I had to take it back to my car- and I was late for next session) a older gentlemen tapped me on the shoulder as my client and her girlfriend got off the bus. He replies that the person that I have been working with over the last 17 months is doing good things! I looked, smiled, and said that is a positive right? He said with a chuckle if you only knew. I thanked the man for his positive words. Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
