My Approach to Helping
In a therapy session, I prioritize active listening to ensure that clients feel heard and understood, allowing them to express their thoughts and emotions freely. I incorporate supportive feedback to reinforce their strengths and encourage growth, while open-ended questions help deepen the conversation and explore their experiences more thoroughly. Additionally, I emphasize validation by acknowledging and affirming their feelings, creating a safe space for self-exploration and healing. This combination fosters a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship, essential for effective therapy.
