Well the counseling is today, in just a few hours.

My plan is:

1. Remain calm. No expectations and no pressure.
2. Remain quiet. This is a 180 for me as I would traditionally take over this type of situation, explain things to the cousnelor and control the situation.
3. Listen and validate.
4. Let the counselor drive the bus.
5. Get away from w. after the counseling as she is doubtless going to feel pressured.

Any other thoughts?
