Based on this, one of the primary private tasks of the therapist is to simultaneously confront the client’s dead-end expectations and formulate his motive for presence. I suggest not delaying the implementation of these tasks and start solving them from the very first session. However, therapists themselves should not build any expectations in this regard. It may take many months of regular therapeutic meetings, sometimes taking place in a rather intense emotional background, to form a motive in the client that was not there before. Especially if the need for presence is completely unfamiliar to a person, or he has “abandoned” it due to a series of traumatic influences throughout his development. So, stage number one is to form the need to Be or the need to be present[1]. However, this thesis apparently needs some clarification. I would not like the reader to get the impression that a dialogue-phenomenological psychotherapist is engaged in a certain kind of modeling, i.e. the formation of what the client does not have, as well as the introduction of alien phenomena into his life. In this regard, I would like to make a few comments. All of them relate to the important thesis of contact-focused psychotherapy - the therapist is a specialist not in the individual and his inner world (the inner world simply does not exist), but in the field. I have already spoken about this more than once, but repetition in a new context will, apparently, not be superfluous at all. In other words, all that we can do in the therapy process is to help the client restore his connection with the field. Since it is the field that shapes the individual and his life, by restoring this connection, we help the person become more alive. And only at this moment does he get the opportunity to begin to form a field. And this reciprocal connection is the basis of our concept of experience. Let us express this differently: experience, the free process of which underlies the creative healthy functioning of the self, is mediated by the process of mutual formation of the field and the person. The only reality to which we have access in the process of psychotherapy is the situation of this interaction. This is where the process of psychotherapy unfolds. No psychotherapist has access to either a person or a field in its pure form. Let us return to the comments regarding the process of developing a client’s need for presence. The need, from the point of view of the methodology of the dialogue-phenomenological approach, is derived from the field situation. In other words, a client with an “absent” need has never yet encountered the awareness of elements of the phenomenological field that would “prompt” its existence. Meanwhile, many elements of the field simply scream about it. They shout, and this happens in the life of every person who communicates with people. The exception may be autism. Although in this case, apparently, we are only talking about blocking sensitivity and awareness of the corresponding elements of the field. As a matter of fact, this is what therapy for autistic children is based on. When we say that a person is not interested in presence, then most often we are talking about lost sensitivity to the corresponding aspects of the field. Therefore, the “formation” of this need occurs through the restoration of sensitivity. The moment a person stops ignoring the elements of the field that scream about the thirst for present contact, they become phenomena. And now man begins to realize the need to Be. Simply put, in the process of therapy we only draw a person’s attention to what existed without our intervention, but was hidden in the form of peripheral elements of the field. We are only restoring the power that belongs to natural valence. Now the elements of the field, speaking about the desire to be present, themselves strive for awareness, beginning to “bombard” the client. And vice versa, those field elements that were previously
