Yet, listening, of this special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.” It is from this space a therapeutic alliance develops on trust and safety and empowers the client to look inward for the answers they seek as they are the true experts on themselves. “Your vision becomes clear only when you look into your heart, who looks outside; dreams, who looks inside; awakens”… Carl Jung.
