This message from a client I’ve had the privilege of working with stopped me in my tracks and got me thinking about the importance of creating the secure base for the client, as well as the power of an integrated approach to therapy 🌿
The secure base begins with the therapist creating a space where you feel truly safe; no judgement, just you being heard exactly as you are. When a client feels genuinely safe, they can be truly vulnerable, and that vulnerability is where the real work, and the healing, begins.
Alongside that, I often use CBT based approaches to help clients develop a deeper understanding of the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. These aren’t just tools for the therapy room, they are practical skills my clients can use independently, which can be incredibly empowering.
