All studies show the Relationship between client and therapist makes the Most difference in client outcomes.
Not techniques
#2 Therapist's Primary Role, then, is to
Build & Model Authentic Relationship with client
This requires a relationally healthy therapist
We can only model what we know, so consider . .
How are you at Boundaries?
Do you know how to be Authentic?
How well do you do Honesty?
How well do you handle your own & other's Anger?
Are you able to share Power?
How well do you handle Conflict?
Trust is Earned After Successfully
Building & Modeling Authentic Relationship
Positive Outcomes from Techniques come After Trust
A Healthy Supervision Relationship is also
based on Authenticity

Sherry's Words . .
"I received poor supervision at an externship during my Grad program that left me crying many times, believing I couldn't do anything to please this Supervisor. I was even scared I wouldn't receive a passing grade yet I got an unexpected A.
It was then I promised myself to become a Supervisor and never, ever treat my supervisees as I was treated .
I absolutely keep to that promise."
"I want you to have encouragement & guidance to grow into the absolute best therapist you can possibly be."
