In clinical practice, one of the most common issues encountered by therapists is the patient’s tension and inability to relax, particularly during the early stages of therapy. Before applying analytic therapeutic techniques, this issue of relaxation must first be considered, adapted to, and addressed within the therapeutic settings. This article aims to explore the relationship between the therapeutic settings and the patient’s need for relaxation from the perspectives of Freud’s psychoanalytic paradigm and Winnicott’s psychoanalytic paradigm. The focus of this article is on how, under the theoretical guidance of Winnicott’s concepts regarding the therapeutic settings and the illustration of a clinical case, therapists can conceptualize and implement adjustments to therapeutic techniques. This is intended to help patients develop the ability to relax and further their personal growth.
