relational psychotherapy

Relational psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the importance of the relationship between the therapist and the client. It views personal experiences as shaped by ongoing interactions and social contexts. The therapy focuses on understanding how past and present relationships influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By exploring these connections in a collaborative way, clients can gain insight, develop healthier patterns, and improve their emotional well-being. It recognizes that change occurs within the dynamic of the relationship itself, making the therapeutic bond a key component of healing and growth.
