Dealing with silence can sometimes be one of the hardest things for new practitioners to learn. We are used to conversational engagement, and we may have a desire to fill gaps with any comments that come to mind. Silence in our clients can be a sign that they are thinking about themselves or others in the family, are thinking about what just occurred in the session, or simply do not know what to say. Silences in family work tend not to last very long, but they can feel twice as long as they are in actual time.
