Between doctor and patient, there are imponderable factors which bring about a mutual transformation.—C. G. Jung
Similarly to other dyadic relationships, therapy’s success depends on the compatibility of both sides to each other. Research has shown that the most important factor in the success of treatment is the quality of the relationship that is formed between the client and the therapist. Feelings of trust, acceptance, and connection are essential in making the relationship more intimate and committed, and allow a deeper level of collaborative work.
Ask yourself the following questions: Do I feel understood by my therapist? Do I feel genuine emotions in our interaction? Can I openly express my emotions and reveal my experience? Your response to these questions can help evaluate the quality of your therapeutic relationship.
