Dear Therapists Jasmine Badge
Dear therapists, all the tools and approaches are secondary to the quality of our presence. When we are honest with our clients/patients about what’s like to sit with them, how we feel in their present; We may be among the first they share the experience with what it’s like to be with them. What an privileged!
Sometimes … Our clients/patients don’t need a cure, all they need is a witness. There’s so much healing, safety and empowerment in having their trauma witnessed.
When someone cares enough to want to know and to keep track of their stories, they are comforted, courages and more resilient.
We all crave to be seen, heard and known. We feel a sense of loneliness when there isn’t a soul cares about us in this way. When we have a witness witnessing our pain and our trauma, through the therapeutic relationship, we will then find the missing self.
