Each scenario is a live exchange: the client speaks, you respond, and the client responds to what you actually said — softening, testing, or pulling away — across 3 turns. Then the whole arc is scored across 8 FIS dimensions, with layered feedback:
◎ Your response, sharpened — same instinct, better execution.
◈ A different angle — a contrasting approach you didn’t try.
★ The master class — how Rogers, Yalom, Linehan would handle it. Unlocks as you improve.
◉ Inside the client — after each exchange, see what was happening on the other side of the room.
