Nice work Daryl. When it comes to therapy and boiling it down to it's essence, I always think about Rollo May's comments in his book "The Courage to Create". He essentially said that therapy should not only help people feel better, it should make people "be" better.

As a new therapist it’s so helpful to hear other professional’s personal perspectives on what it means to engage in the therapeutic process/space. Thank you!

Any other thoughts or reading recommendations for new professionals would be much appreciated. Your book The First Kiss really resonated with me!

Tara, I'm hoping to get to a list of top 10 books in specific topics, incl psychotherapy in general.

For starters, Irvin Yalom's The gift of therapy is a classic.
