ABSTRACT The present paper attempts to highlight the possibilities for the therapist to look within herself in the process of psychotherapy. It journeys the avenues for personal growth that get created in the process of practising therapy. In particular, the paper chronicles the psychological dilemmas a therapist, practising in the Indian context, encountered in her tryst with difficult clients, which she reckons she might never have otherwise been called upon to face. It dwells upon the repeated challenges a therapist faces to find in herself a personal version of the conflicts, dynamics and feelings troubling the client she sees. Finally, the paper juxtaposes personal growth against the analogy of therapist and client being fellow travellers, as captured in the powerful fable of healers by Hesee’s Magister Ludi.

同行旅客：治疗师在治疗过程中的个人成长

摘要本论文试图强调治疗师在心理治疗过程中自我审视的可能性。它探索了在实践疗法过程中创造的个人成长途径。特别是，该论文记录了在印度背景下练习的治疗师在与困难的客户进行的幽会中遇到的心理困境，她认为她可能永远不会被要求面对。它以治疗师面临的反复挑战为基础，以使自己找到冲突，动态和感觉困扰自己的客户的个人版本。最后，本文将个人成长与治疗师和来访者同伴旅行者的类比并置，如Hesee的Magister Ludi强有力的医治寓言中所描绘的。
