Therapeutic relationship theory and practice
"What happens in the contact? Who do we become to each other? At this level of the therapist-client relationship, attention is paid to how the client feels with the therapist, considering this as information that is the building block of the relationship, without objective judgments about each other" (Peter Phillipson)
The therapeutic relationship is a special space in which previous experience of building contact with the environment can be recreated and the client can experiment with new forms of interaction.
The therapeutic relationship is a space created by the therapist to resolve difficulties in relationships in the client's everyday life and is considered here and now from the point of view of a specific situation.
The therapeutic relationship is a relationship in which the therapist, based on his or her feelings with the client, creates a healing atmosphere in which the client has the prospect of qualitative change.
During the training, participants acquire:
- skills of a stable therapeutic position, staying in contact with the client
- Consciously recognize and interact with problem areas of clients and themselves.
- Resilience in dealing with the painful traumatic experiences of their clients.
- assistance and support in living with one's own experience in difficult problematic situations.
- Theoretical knowledge supported by practical experience (exercises and learning tasks)
The interaction between therapist and client in the therapeutic circle can be a fundamental support for the possibility of being and creating together, in real time and in real space.
Maintaining interest in the client and the relationship between the therapist and the client, in order to make the relationship work, is one of the most important tasks of the therapeutic space.
