These principles focus on identifying where clients need recognition, understanding, and appreciation. Clients report that this work allows them to better understand themselves from a perspective that they’ve never had before. Helping clients feel known and accepted is fundamental to Ryan’s approach and an essential element of creating the safety that helps clients unburden themselves from damaging beliefs and heal from past trauma.
