The roots of presence in the therapeutic relationship go back to the early days of psychotherapy. Aspects of presence were highlighted across different therapeutic approaches, such as Freud’s evenly suspended attention (M. Epstein, 2007) and Perls’s (1970) contact, and help inform our current understanding. Therapeutic presence as understood currently reflects the entirety of the different aspects of presence: the embodied and relational qualities of being fully in the moment, within the therapist, with the client and in the relationship between them. The emotional, physiological, neurological, and interpersonal entrainment that occurs when the relationship between therapists and clients deepens into the moment provides the safe connection from which growth and healing occur. This brief historical account of various conceptions of presence will aid your understanding of the whole experience. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
