The most difficult aspect is perhaps also a relational one, i.e. we’re in a relationship between two individuals, and there are cases where the current just doesn’t flow. The person in front is not receptive, we ourselves have a bit of trouble with this or that aspect of this person, so that’s the difficult part for me, it’s reversing a preconception that I might have about the first few minutes or the first quarter of an hour, where I say to myself ‘it’s not going to be easy with this person’, So what’s difficult after that is to reverse the tendency, to open your ears wide and get to know the person in question so that you can succeed, that’s what you have to do, to anchor yourself in what they say and who they are and not have any hang-ups about a person.
