The success of therapy depends above all on the therapeutic alliance that develops between the patient and the therapist. Just as in other forms of support, aspects of life, experiences, and feelings will be shared, recounted, listened to, imagined, and reflected upon during the sessions. It is the therapist’s approach and professional stance that facilitate the emergence and exploration of new perspectives. The therapist acts as a catalyst, a supportive witness, and a sounding board, making the therapy possible.
