The practice of psychotherapy requires me to have several qualities: presence, perspective, and self‐knowledge. These demands of conducting psychotherapy are discussed from an experiential point of view as primarily beneficial. Practicing psychotherapy also frequently reminds me of important lessons that I need to remember. Case examples are provided to illustrate central concepts, and research findings occasionally are presented to supplement primary clinical ideas.
