Clinical Practice

As clinicians we are often asked to decode and understand our clients’ relationship difficulties. The number and quality of our clients’ relationships is valuable information used during all phases of treatment from initial diagnosis to final outcome and follow-up.

Having a traditional psychotherapeutic training we work hard with our clients to restore their relationships with significant others, make peace with the ones that could not change and form new stronger ones.

Our tools are very effective in restoring our clients’ relationships with others just as they do with themselves. By the end of therapy, they are able to approach others without fear, anxiety, extreme anger or shame.

Our contact with Positive Psychology has highlighted one very important element that is usually overlooked during treatment and that is that relationships are not only useful as a support system, but they also have a “launching” function in which they nourish the individual’s effort to thrive and flourish.

So it feels like therapy left our clients in the middle of the ocean, they had strong vessels to navigate through life’s adversities but they did not know how to build positive relationships that will support their smooth sail towards the fulfillment of their potential.

This is where our trip begun in exploring the elements of what constitutes a positive relationship.

We aim to continue the voyage and create new maps that will offer knowledge and experience of positive relationships.
