Love, trust and faith are the only basis for a person to have a relationship with themselves and with others. “Relationships†without these qualities are not really relationships at all, but just opportunities to use other people as if they were objects without a life of their own. My work as a touch healing psychotherapist is based on the same principles as Carl Rogers' person-centred psychotherapy. These principles state that it is only when a therapist is able to be who they really are in the therapeutic relationship, and able to love and trust their client for who they really are, that there is sufficient trust and faith in the relationship for a genuine meeting to occur between them, the basis of all healing. Anar Patel has rediscovered these principles (as we all must, in the end, do for ourselves) in her work. This once done, as she says, "nothing is a sacrifice" because in all such meetings with love, all parties are "healed".
