Sometimes, the benefits of therapy may seem vague. Today, we want to share with you five qualities that we believe every therapist should have so you can better understand how therapy is designed to help you. In therapy sessions, our aim is to support and guide you using these qualities.
Genuine Empathy
A therapist should be able to empathize with you effectively and make you feel heard and understood.
Nuanced Perspective
A therapist should provide perspective that you either did not have or that you should consider putting more weight on.
Empowering Education
A therapist should be able to educate you in subjects that you were not aware of.
Effective Tools
A therapist should be able to help you develop approaches to use in difficult situations. They should also help you feel confident that you can employ these tools when needed.
Mindful Awareness
A therapist should be able to guide you towards improving your awareness. That awareness should help you to make better decisions when you are facing a challenge.
The wellness team here at Breakthrough Solutions makes an effort to use these qualities in each of our sessions with our clients.
