We consider consulting a psychotherapist when something in our lives becomes too disturbing or difficult to manage it on our own, whether due to a particular circumstance or due to emotional/psychological suffering.
Sometimes, we engage in a psychotherapeutic process to get to know ourselves better and to self-actualize. The client/patient-therapist connection that we establish is an essential factor in achieving progress and results through therapy.
Such connection comprises the therapeutic alliance. In this setting, characterized by acceptance and non- judgement, the therapeutic process unfolds, giving clients/patients the opportunity to develop effective adaptive resources for facing their obstacles and for recovering a sense of balance in their daily lives.
