Answer 1

Hello!

As humans we are bound by many relationships I think that is what Makes us great individuals , various kinds of relationships help us in our being as individuals we all need to have relationships of some kind and many of us are fortune to find the kind of bonds with people and many other who need to work on it and some times seeking help is not a bad option after all a good relationship is the key to a healthy mind .

The concepts I would personally integrate into my counselling practice would be intersubjective theory as I find it very fitting because here in intersubjective concept of relational psychoanalytic approach communication is considered major and as we humans have a gift of language we are lucky because we can share our ideas and thoughts basically intersubjective theory tries to convince us that when there are two partners involved in a active social interaction there is always an outcome of that discussion .As humans and also many intelligent animals we are all aware of the self and our society and mostly we work in harmony because we communicate and adapt through shared views language and relationships, for your better understanding let's consider an example if you had a younger sibling who is an infant how does he or she grow to understand the surrounding and to understand their culture and most importantly how will the child know about relationships?,when he or she is an infant you will try to understand the child as much as possible through the action and sounds it makes like wise the child observes you and what you do etc as the child grows it will understand it's surrounding, it will a mainly know the relationship it has with you the child comes to know this through language as there is a similar language you follow in your house , as he grows he sees his parents understand what is life all about he underatands what special relationships stand for and can identify and understand the meaning of several aspects in Life. That for you is simplified meaning of intersubjective concept as it's a conversation or understanding between people that usually has some kind of understanding and outcome .

Thankyou, hope this helped
