World renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow said:
"What [psychologists consider a well-adjusted person or] call normal is really a psychopathology so undramatic and so widely spread that we don't even notice it..."
Therapists need to understand the force of healing or synthesis (which is inherent in all humans) and aid their client learning to facilitate and cooperate with it, as they help remove obstacles to its impeded flow. (For more, see Psychosynthesis by Roberto Assagioli.)
Humor, when appropriate, helps reinforce the equality inherent in this intimate form of human relationship.

Our "Whole-Connected" Self
The major threat to external control is our internal guidance system, which can be spoken about as our soul. Definitions of "soul" vary greatly, but we can begin by referring to it as "the core of who we are." It refers to our deep presence, aliveness and our inner connectedness with the rest of Infinite Being (sometimes known as "The Ground of Being," "Godhead," "the One," "the Non-Dual," or "The Fertile Void").
Infinite Being, in turn, presents itself as indivisible and whole. Though impossible to verbally define, it is said that one can experience this core of Reality. The soul has been considered a "drop" on the Ocean of Consciousness.
This whole-connected aspect of ourselves is the source of our talents and the wellspring of our creativity. It provides the sense that our lives have meaning and is the core of our aliveness.
We have the option of transforming our self-identification from ego to soul. At that point psychotherapy moves from a personal to a transpersonal or spiritual level - from merely clearing out our baggage to higher or deeper levels of awareness.
