It underscores that addressing these responses is crucial for overcoming psychological suffering, irrespective of the therapist's model. The author emphasizes the importance of 'observational distance,' a strategy that encourages clients to engage with their experiences without avoidance. This technique allows individuals to observe their thoughts and emotions objectively, facilitating behavioral change and promoting healthier interactions with their internal responses. Thus, diverse therapeutic methods converge on similar principles for effective emotional management.
