therapeutic rapport

Therapeutic rapport refers to the trusting, respectful, and collaborative relationship between a therapist and a client. It involves open communication, understanding, and a sense of safety, which helps clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Building this connection is crucial because it creates an environment where clients feel respected and supported, making it easier to work through challenges and achieve personal growth. Effective therapeutic rapport fosters cooperation and trust, helping therapy be more effective and meaningful for the individual.
