Therapists, we're not focused on temporary healing. No, we're here to provide lasting relief. And it takes more than being a good listener or administering different techniques to get there. Therapy is an individual process unique to each and every one of our clients. What works for one client might not work for the other. As therapists, it's our job to understand the right balance of approaches, techniques, and assessments to bring our clients to that long-term healing. Do you agree? Let me know in the comments!

And it's also within a therapist to empower their patients to be able to heal themselves.
I am not sure how much of a responsibility it is of the therapist to build "lasting relief" for the client. Individuals have to take responsibility for themselves while therapists provide the tools, facilitate change and hope, and provide support. The "lasting" part that clients can take with them that therapists are more responsible for is the healthy attachment that is modeled in the therapuetic relationship.
I agree and I feel Iike I’m struggling to help get my veteran clients back to a mental and emotional state of regulation and stability.
Esther Goldstein LCSW what role does the client have to play in achieving lasting relief? I.e. given a therapist that is able to create the right approach for lasting relief, what is the difference between a patient able to achieve their goals and one that is not?
I have found so many therapists do not understand that it is not copy, paste and repeat - but intutively connecting with each person and finding what they need unlocked. I did trauma therapy for over 20 years (returning to my passion of coaching), and found many therapists were scared to connect at that level clients needed. I found connecting was the best self-care because I left it all with the client and I didn't carry my clients with me during the week.
Esther Goldstein LCSW Yes! It’s providing a presence that not only helps clients feel seen and heard, but helps them recognize their importance in the world regardless of where they came from or what limiting beliefs they might harbor.
