Description
Psychotherapists can be seen as high-risk workers exposed to the emotionally challenging depressive states of their clients. They experience the drama of an endless moment, where two people sit across from each other, feeling hopeless and unable to connect. At that moment, they may be tempted to give up, resign, lose, and abandon hope, yet they must remain and embody that hope. By processing their own experiences, therapists transform the dynamics of the depressive situation and allow the client to experience human coexistence without demands or expectations. Depression can then transform into healthy mourning. This book offers therapists a guide on how to anchor themselves during psychotherapy sessions by understanding their experience with a depressive client and transforming their often negative feelings into compassion for both the client and themselves. The author refers to his own research work and provides numerous examples from his therapeutic practice.
