The therapeutic relationship is a sacred relationship between therapist and client rooted in trust, understanding, and growth. The therapist’s role consists of listening, conceptualizing, guiding, suggesting, encouraging, questioning, validating, supporting, consulting, advocating, and holding space for the client. Holding space means putting one’s own needs, opinions, beliefs, and biases aside and allowing the client to just be.
