dc.description.abstractA growing body of evidence has highlighted the limitations of relying solely on positivist research when summarizing SP/SR results since it might hinder pluralistic perspectives from unique backgrounds and life experiences. In the present reflective report, I aim to conduct quantitative and qualitative research on myself to explore the impact of concentrating on genuineness when delivering psychotherapy as a trainee. This article provides concrete examples of how therapists’ authenticity could benefit the therapeutic alliance. The therapist completed the 15-item five-facet mindfulness questionnaire, the Center for Clinical Interventions’ assertiveness questionnaire, the authenticity scale, and the values in action inventory. Clients filled out the working alliance inventory-short, revised version during mid-treatment reviews. Thematic content analysis was applied to the 3000-word written reflective report submitted for assessment as part of the training. The management of difficult emotions coupled with the development of compassion, a practice that promotes EDI, and a cohesive sense of self were some of the benefits I experienced. Emotional awareness is emphasized as the first step towards authenticity, which I facilitated through regular mindfulness practice. Regarding compassion and a paced approach, issues might arise in services requiring outcome measurements to be reduced to the point of recovery by the end of the treatment. The study approaches authenticity as a value constantly pursued in a continuously evolving ideal self. A life of committed professional improvement and practice is warranted, where maintaining authenticity requires ongoing therapist reflection.
