A successful therapy outcome is determined by three key factors:

 

• The client-therapist relationship: A strong, trusting bond is essential.

​

• A shared understanding: Both the client and therapist need to be aligned on what the client wants to work on.

​

• Belief in change: Both parties must believe that progress is possible. As Irvin D. Yalom once said, the therapeutic process should be an “installation of hope.”
