This alliance helps clients feel safe to express themselves and engage in the healing process. A strong therapeutic alliance can significantly enhance the effectiveness of therapy, as it encourages open communication and fosters a supportive environment. Essentially, it’s about working together toward the client’s well-being, making the therapeutic experience more beneficial and impactful.
