  • The parent initially responds with denial (defence)
  • The therapist lets the parent share his or her own history and pain
  • The parent’s defences disappear and he/she can be open to his/her child
  • The parent can empathize and recognize that the client has not been sufficiently seen in his/her needs and has had painful experiences

Practically all parents (in the empty chair ) spontaneously exclaim:

But I do love you!
