What truly heals in therapy — the method, or the space we hold?
In this episode of What Truly Matters, psychotherapist and spiritual teacher Svagito Liebermeister joins Candra Karlholm to explore the subtle art of working with people. Drawing from decades of experience, Svagito speaks about why presence and love matter more than techniques, and how true support always respects the client’s freedom.
They explore:
– Why healing does not come from “fixing” someone
– The difference between love and “being nice”
– The trap of the helper’s syndrome
– Why advice is not therapy
– Respecting clients’ parents and avoiding projection
– The role of meditation in therapy and the risk of spiritual bypassing
– How therapy, spirituality and personal growth must come together in ordinary life
This conversation is a reminder that real transformation arises not from what we do to others, but from the space of presence, truth and freedom we share with them.
