Can we allow our Ts to make mistakes? Can we forgive them if they do?

I think we are most capable of learning in a relationship that is genuine. When we respond in a therapy relationship as we would in any other relationship, there is opportunity to both learn and grow from the experience.
Therapists are human beings, just like any of us. They will make mistakes from time to time, just like any of us. As long as the mistakes don't include unethical behavior, I see this as a potential important part of the healing process.
