Therapeutic use of self
a term that is used to describe how you mold yourself to be flexible in interactions to help clients accomplish their goals.
You may be a person that does not like structure. In the therapy session, however, you will need to “mold” to provide structure to a client who needs it. You may be a person who avoids confrontation. In the therapy session, however, you may need to confront a patient about why they are consistently late for every session. You may show little emotion on your face in daily life but when treating a child, your face will need to show expressions and become animated. You will need to “mold” to the needs of your client and treatment session. Remember that a therapeutic relationship is not the same as a friendship. There is a boundary that must be drawn to be effective in practice.
