Mutuality is a way of relating where all individuals are open to being affected and affecting another (Frey, 2013; Jordan, 2018; Miller, 1986; Miller & Stiver, 1997). This acknowledgment of the reciprocal nature of a relationship creates openness and shared understanding. Mutuality means shared growth rather than sameness. For instance, in a counseling relationship, both the client and the counselor grow, yet the counselor is still responsible and focused on the client’s development (Jordan, 2018).
