She believed that a healthy family life involved an open and reciprocal sharing of affection, feelings, and love. Satir's genuine warmth and caring was evident in her natural inclination to incorporate feelings and compassion in the therapeutic relationship. She believed that caring and acceptance were key elements in helping people face their fears and open up their hearts to others.
