ABSTRACT

Should the therapy I offer be reduced to a dichotomy of success and failure? Could remaining in therapy be a failure sometimes? In writing about therapeutic failure, I risk narrowing the relational body psychotherapy I offer to a binary perspective. In my work I attempt to allow for a broader perception of reality, where we explore our shared meeting with curiosity and willingness to engage with our mutual involvement that a human encounter can bring with it (Aron, 1996; Epstein, 2013; Levy, 2013).
