Explanation:

The empathic relationship between therapist and patient is the thread with which an effective counseling session is woven, accounting for over 80% of the effectiveness of these counseling.

We have heard many times about empathy, its importance in social relationships, its powerful effects on communicating with others, the need to incorporate it into our lives as an indispensable thing. However, we hear little about its weight in a psychotherapeutic relationship, and how without empathy the therapy boat is drifting. Far from its place in the world, it deviates against the prognosis.

It is necessary for the therapist to establish an empathic relationship with the patient, showing that he cares and understands everything the patient is going through and that will help him understand and overcome the situation that so overwhelms him. We can say that this type of relationship is responsible for over 80% of the success of therapy, so it is so important.
