Authenticity.

I simply cannot tell someone my inner-most feelings and struggles without them being able to truly be present and emphasize in what I'm saying. I don't need someone sitting there spitting out different theories and/or approaches we could take in a mechanical transaction. To me, a HUGE part of therapy is that relationship-building and development of trust... and that can't be developed unless both partners are authentic in what they are communicating.
