title: "Your knots are in my soul" - the Talmud.
abstract: Establishing the trust needed for deep affect work requires that the therapist's sense of self be engaged … the patient cannot be expected to rapidly open up to a therapist who remains hidden and shielded. The emotional atmosphere should be one in which the patient feels safe and the therapist brave. The patient's sense of safety within the therapeutic relationship is enhanced in part by the therapist's risk taking. (Fosha, 2000, p. 213).
