What if I break down? Clients can become distressed, sometimes very distressed. If this happens the mediator will interrupt the session and give you the opportunity of a separate room where you can take time out. You will be given whatever help is possible to recover. If need be, the session will be stopped. It is very important that clients are in a fit state to work in a session. Susan takes every care to ensure that her clients’ needs in this regard are met.
