What helps clients most is not the imposition of a theory to explain their experiences, but the facilitation of self-discovery. This article traces the journey of one transactional analysis therapist's development from one who needed to know concretely how people work and what to do, to one who learned that there are no absolutes in therapy. Each client is unique, and growth will occur within a therapeutic relationship that honors that uniqueness.
