Topic:
How are shifts in clients' self-understanding related to focusing on feelings during therapy sessions?
Methods:
A phenomenological study involving matched-pairs of clients and nurse-therapists using video-cued narrative reflection.
Findings:
Feelings disclose significance within a therapy session. Dialogical relationships and involvements help clients experience the feelings they are discussing, obtain feedback from therapists, and develop self-understanding.
Conclusions:
Nurse educators should stress the importance of focusing on feelings in a session, and clinicians should practice this skill to facilitate a client's developing self-understanding.
