Moments of Love

Embodied attunement in the therapeutic relationship
This book explores the profound, intimate moments of deep connection between therapist and client that feel like moments of love. Drawing on decades of counselling literature, Emma Swales helps practitioners recognise, ethically navigate, and harness these powerful bonds to deliver genuinely healing therapeutic experiences and drive lasting change.

'Almostlike a buzzing of energy - I could feel my blood moving, a warmth spreadingthrough my torso. A feeling of being very deeply anchored in the moment. Anintense moment of contact and relatedness.'

That momentwhere you look at one another with tears in your eyes. Where you feel youunderstand each other completely. You feel a bodily resonance, the aliveness ofyour blood, and there is a sense of expansion as you experience this moment ofdeep connection. What is happening in our minds and bodies during these momentsof profound relatedness? How do we make sense of them - and what meaning dothey hold for us?

This bookexplores these moments of profound contact between client and therapist:experiences that feel, in their intensity and intimacy, like moments of love.Drawing on decades of psychotherapy and counselling literature, Emma Swalesexamines how these experiences have been understood, named, and navigatedacross the helping professions.

Written forqualified and trainee counsellors, psychotherapists, supervisors, and otherhelping professionals whose work draws on the therapeutic relationship, thisbook will help readers recognise, understand, and respond to these moments inan informed and ethical way - using them to offer genuinely healing experiencesand deepen the bonds that make change possible.
