Abstract
The relationship between counselor and teenager is unique because of the nature of adolescence. Teenagers both need to be seen by others and also to develop the ability to look at and see themselves. These are fundamental elements of the encounter between counselors and teenage clients, especially when the teenager is going through a difficult time. Metaphors introduced into counseling sessions by teenagers offer a direct way of building a relationship. However, this deep seeing may create a merging of emotions that can lead to the breakdown of the relationship. This article describes the author's work with a teenage boy and examines the mistake she made in interpreting his metaphor.
