We need two things when engaging in therapy: trust and respect. In order to create a positive therapeutic relationship, we need to feel connected with our therapist and be provided with a safe space to explore our inner world. Honoring and respecting those two factors are the most important interventions that can be used. Whether seeking improvements in behavior, increased emotion regulation, managing anxiety or depression, or seeking to understand past experiences; we will talk, we will play, we will laugh, we will grow- that goes for little ones, teens and grown ups.
