The only time I verbalize bits of my personal belief system during treatment with a patient is when the patient first offers an idea or belief that happens to be the same as mine. I do this to establish or increase my rapport with the patient. I see it as "therapeutic use of self" In this example, I see it as something that may help to facilitate the therapeutic process.
