Therapeutic Relationships

It is so valuable to have a solid therapeutic relationship with clients. I will try to establish a therapeutic relationship with my clients by active listening and positive body language. When people are nodding and smiling while I am communicating my feelings, I instantly feel more comfortable and open to conversation. I want to make my clients to feel open to express whatever they may be feeling. While doing observation hours in OT settings, I remember one OT who was always making sure the client was feeling confident in his or her abilities. She really wanted the client to really feel like she believed in him or her. She was a great example to reflect back on for having solid therapeutic relationships with clients.
