To me connection is another word for the therapeutic relationship that should exist between T and client. The trusting bond that allows for disclosure, the sharing of secrets that puts shame to rest. Knowing that when I talk he can rephrase what I've shared - that's he's been listening and understands what my heart and mind are saying, or trying to say. That he can then "connect" the missing pieces for me. I think all of that comes under the heading of connection.
