ABSTRACT
In dialogue the new experiences often emerge as bodily relaxing emotions, and it might be that just the moment of relaxing in the dialogues about the most extreme concerns in one's life is the turning point towards healing and problem solving. The aim of joint sharing in the dialogue through listening to each other becomes the basis for the treatment and consultation. The guiding centre of behaviour is created in the area between the participants in the actual dialogue. In developing shared experiences and joint language, a new community is generated either through continuing meetings with the same people several times or through continuing dialogues after one meeting. The shared experience unites the actual embodied emotion, the psychological description of it, and the social meaning of the described things. The treatment community is based on guaranteeing continuity and psychological security and is different compared to traditional psychiatric care.
