The Role of the Experiential Therapist

The role of the therapist in experiential therapy is to create experiences that families can learn and grow from. The therapist promotes family members to describe how they experience themselves, each other and the family as a whole to the rest of the family.

Once the issues are discussed openly, the therapist can then guide the discussion to create resolutions to the problems (Nichols & Davis 2020).
