In therapy ( as opposed to biofeedback, for example) I agree that the therapist has to care a lot. That's not enough, but it's crucial. They also need to know how to help you through (or in light of, in a way shaped by) the caring, or love, too.

I wouldn't call it "technique" because I don't think anyone who's working merely technically can help someone else. Experience and skill, knowing how to, as they say, "use" who you are as a person to find the other person, and to help them, in whatever way you can, as the particular person you are in relation to the particular person the patient is --are the key things, along with caring.

I basically have an interpersonal (or some might call it relational) view of psychoanalysis, or other therapy.
