i remember reading somewhere (Brene Brown? who knows) about how a mother acts with her very small child - the child doesn't get her own way from someone, say, and goes into a rage, and the mother reacts calmly, containing the child's frustration, until the day comes when the child can handle it for herself.
There were then dotted lines drawn to the therapeutic relationship. does that make sense?
Thanks for this!
