“Reorganizing the meaning of psychological problems is not only a cognitive process but also one of deep emotional understanding. To be transformative, it necessarily includes the felt sense of connection with an empathic other. Being understood is a relational process which reorients awareness away from defensive identifications with limiting narratives of self and toward a sense of being-with others based in appropriate boundaries and a mature sense of autonomy.” …Marjorie Schuman
