Quote:

“It's really, really easy to get fixated on those couple of clients that maybe you didn't get the greatest outcome with and be like, well, that's proof that I'm a bad therapist. It's very likely that there was a lot happening in that dynamic that impacted the outcome, right? Therapy is a relational process and we all know how much can get activated by a therapeutic relationship, both for the therapist and the client.” - Carolyn
