Tracking moment-to-moment interaction sequences of how the client responds to what the therapist just said is the most accurate way for therapists to determine if they have effectively "passed" important tests from clients. This allows the therapist to quickly adjust their approach and validate the client's feelings, leading to a stronger therapeutic relationship. Waiting for verbal affirmation or listening to a supervisor may not accurately reflect the impact of the therapist's actions in the moment with the client.
