Therapeutic Stance

Written By James Nole

Therapeutic Stance/Attitude

Every therapist has their own unique stance and attitude in the therapeutic endeavor and process.  But there are some basic tenets to the therapeutic stance that are shared amongst all therapists.  The most universal tents being that of compassion, healing is possible for everyone, and presence.  There are many others, but there is also room for subjectivity and individualized stances and attitudes.  It’s important to know where you stand as a therapist, and how you view and approach the therapy process.  If one does not take a stand on anything, then one stands for nothing.
