Key Principles
Shared Expertise: You are the expert on your own life; the therapist brings clinical knowledge, and together you leverage both.
Partnership: The relationship is a cooperative effort, not a power dynamic where the therapist dictates, fostering mutual respect and autonomy.
Dialogue: Focuses on open, back-and-forth conversation, actively listening and co-creating meaning.
How It Works in Practice
Goal Setting: You and your therapist jointly identify problems, set treatment goals, and decide on strategies.
Empowerment: You feel more in control and take an active role in your healing.
Trust Building: Therapists respect your cultural background and life wisdom, building trust by being curious and non-judgmental.
Flexibility: It's not a scripted approach; it's responsive to the living conversation and your evolving needs.
Benefits
Improved Outcomes: Research shows it leads to more effective therapy and better symptom management.
Increased Engagement: You're more likely to participate actively.
Higher Satisfaction: Leads to greater satisfaction with the therapeutic outcome
