Connection

Many years ago, I learned that the therapeutic method used was not as important in a therapeutic relationship, as was the actual relationship, the connection between the client and the therapist.  For that reason, I have focused on acceptance, love and connection with my clients.  When I had completed my training I commented to one of my professors that I had learned many fine techniques that worked well when applied with love and did not work at all without it.  I have seen and experienced that an atmosphere of compassion, love and acceptance together with structure, guidance and boundaries, promotes growth and change in myself and my clients.
