When I am able to securely, therapeutically position myself along side of the client, a level of self honesty, willingness to introspect and reflect, usually occurs. This willingness leads to self-exploration and often personal growth with new levels of self-acceptance and self-awareness. This awareness can then lead to further growth. This therapeutic relationship could be described as trusting and accepting (of other and self), providing a safe space for possible change.
