My teacher trained in America and had a whole different attitude to previous ts. She is all about "The Relationship" between client and t.
I would like to have some sessions with her but I think it would be a conflict of interest, not sure.
I felt so listened to and loved in those few minutes it blew me away. |
Theres loads of person centred Ts everywhere, maybe you could keep searching till you find one that really works for you. One with whom you experience being set free to be yourself.
I do have concerns about therapy dynamics where the therapist becomes the centre of the piece : s - and for that matter of the client's emotions. (It's happened to me tooo many times) Im glad you had that expereince, we should be reclaiming our
s in therapy, rather than losing them, do you recon?
