I think the importance of the 'organic' part (which is how I've experienced it as well), is getting to know the patient well enough before deciding in any kind of definitive way to relate to the patient in a certain way. For example, I think it would take some time to learn (from the patient and through the relationship) what kinds of needs need to be met (this was mentioned in the article) and as important, how and to what extent.
I guess what kind of scares me about 'techniques' is the possibility (again, my fear) that things might be imposed on me according to pre-conceived ideas/theories without focusing more on what I may need at any given time -to be flexible and have an open mind in this respect. I would be afraid that someone who professes a very specific (and intense) technique might be too wedded to it to be as fully attuned as I would like to me, as a unique person, and how things might evolve and change over time.
But these are fears based on very little information (and no experience with such techniques --though no doubt 'techniques' are used with me, they're just not so explicit).
But maybe it will turn out to be just what you need, or at least some variation on it that would be most suitable for you. I'm interested in knowing what she says about how she plans on going about this --keep us up to date and good luck in your new (and hopefully successful and healing) venture!
