What Makes a Great Counselor?

“Presence, the ability to remain centered and resonate in a primitive way with your clients. The ability to connect with their inner world, nervous system to nervous system. Let difficult feelings and sensations move through you, showing your client how to feel their feelings, and then let them go. Do your own work so you can resonate emotionally. The treatment modality is only 15% of the therapy. 85% is the relationship you develop together.”
