For me, the therapeutic processes are real collaborative processes which I hold in very high regard. We have to be good on each other aligned To get well ahead. So our interaction is really a very important key in this!

In this, it is a very conscious choice for me to work from a cognitive-behavioral vision. This therapeutic movement suited me the most because throughout your process you are always perfectly can interpret what you are doing are and why. This is by no means a rigid fact, but does give us together a good view on where we are in our process and why. There is more than enough space anyway to vent and catch our breath, and to go through the process at our own pace. But we don't have conversations to have conversations and not know at the end what exactly we did.  

That fact gives the necessary peace, security and the trust along both sides. 

Sometimes cognitive behavioral therapy is unfortunately mistakenly viewed as counseling where you are only given ‘homework assignments’ to fulfill. So this is it anything but! If at all we are asked to do something between sessions, it is embedded within our broad collaborative process and thus does not come across as at all artificial as is sometimes posited.
