My Father, My Client:The Hidden Power and Influence of the Therapists’ Family of Origin on Clinical Work
 Marilyn Wolf, M.Ed., LPC, LCAS
Greensboro, North Carolina
Our clients simply want from us exactly what my father and I wanted and what I believe we all want - to be seen and heard for who we are, to be acknowledged for the hard work we do as human beings on this earth, to be met exactly where we are and not turned into what someone else wants us to be for any reason, and to be given the support we need to save ourselves. It is within this safe space of acceptance, respect, and love, a sacred space really, that we heal and grow. Regardless of technique or modality, professional orientation or theoretical grounding, this is the very least we can do for our clients and the very best we can give them.
