Bedeutsame Augenblicke in der Personzentrierten Therapie – Reflexionen einer Therapeutin

Abstract

Some miraculous moments in person-centered therapy—The therapist’s reflections. The article is devoted to some of “miraculous” therapeutic moments that occurred during author’s therapeutic work with two different clients, in different phases of her practice. Both moments were touching the work with the felt sense of some of the client’s personally important key experience, which hadn’t been fully processed and integrated before. Although the therapist’s degree of process-directivity differed with each client, both episodes were described by the clients as personally deeply meaningful. The author underlines the key role of the therapeutic relationship perceived by the client as safe and trustworthy enough to enable him/her to face his/her too threatening and painful experiences, to explore and assimilate them.
