What do you believe are the key elements of a successful therapeutic relationship?

A therapeutic relationship, like any relationship, takes time to build and nurture. I believe that it grows on a foundation of trust, collaboration, and mutual investment in established goals. In order to continuously grow, both parties need to feel they can give and receive feedback with deep consideration for the other. This means we will take risks and sometimes ruptures may occur. Thus, therapeutic relationships are the perfect practice ground for developing an understanding that ruptures can lead to repair, and then the relationship can deepen. As a therapist, I live in my humanity. I know that all humans trigger unresolved wounds in others, and when that occurs, we have a beautiful opportunity for deep healing. I promise my clients that I will give them my heart-centered attention and will take responsibility for my part in uncovering any wounds that arise in our time together. My ask is for you to open your heart to the possibility that feeling triggered can lead to a deeper sense of connection and understanding of your essence.
