Client - Therapist Rapport is 80% responsible for success in therapy.
Hello and congratulations on taking this first step toward mental wellness. I strongly believe that what is most important in a therapeutic relationship is the rapport that is accomplished. Without this, progress will not be made and improvement will not be felt. After all, who wants to reveal vulnerabilities to a stranger who is without warmth or the feeling of being accepted? Feeling truly heard by another human being is powerful and undeniably healing. I became a therapist because of my desire to help others find the answers within themselves to improve their life. No one should have to struggle through life's storms alone. I encourage you to continue the journey forward. Even if you feel the right therapist for you is not me, please connect with someone so you can transform your life to an existence that includes joy again.
