Relationship Help Union

What is the helping relationship? The “helping relationship”, also known as “counselling”, is an approach in which the therapist tries to support a person in understanding and resolving problems that he or she cannot face alone. The helping relationship includes various techniques and approaches, such as the following: Self-talk, relationship therapy, shock therapy, dream and/or daydream analysis, coaching, gestalt therapy, hypnosis, music therapy, art therapy, animal therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, rebirthing, emotional-rational therapy, 12-step therapy, spiritual or soul therapy, mind-body therapy, music therapy, “IMAGO” relationship therapy and others. The helping relationship enables the therapist to listen without judging the person. In this way, acceptance can be built up, a fundamental attitude in the helping relationship that indicates to the person that someone is trying to understand and accept him or her as a whole. By getting rid of judgment, the helping relationship establishes a relationship of trust that helps and supports the person, while respecting his or her dignity and worth.   The helping relationship therapist is there to help and support the person on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level, while respecting the dignity, values and freedom of the individual to determine his or her own values, goals and right to pursue his or her own lifestyle.

By getting rid of judgment, the helping relationship builds trust, enabling us to perceive and understand the person’s feelings and emotions. The helping relationship builds authentic relationships, without masks or facades, by openly expressing the feelings and attitudes that are invading the person from within at that precise moment. In return, the helping relationship often encourages the other person to get in touch with his or her own emotions.
