A few years ago I was asked to make a brief video about just WHAT happens in the therapy process. You can see the video below. While I would definitely say a few things differently now, I think the 4 main features still hold.
Cultivate Awareness.
Cultivate Containment.
Build Trust.
Build Relationship. https://www.therapy.live/online-therapy-video/29-dr-ellis-jaruzel-pith-outline-of-therapy-part-2-what-do-we-do-in-therapy
