The Importance of Meaningful Therapy
Meaningful therapy goes beyond brief, superficial treatments and focuses on creating a working alliance with patients through mutual connection, agreement on the purpose of therapy, and understanding of the methods used. Good therapy aims to bring awareness to the patient's deep patterns of relating and attaching, which are often recreated in the therapy relationship. Countertransference, the therapist's emotional response to the patient, is a crucial source of information in therapy and should not be dismissed. Therapy requires slowing down, recognizing and understanding patterns, and providing a safe space for patients to explore and change.
