Research has shown that rupture repair can sometimes be achieved through effective communication and exploration of the ruptured relationship. It is not best practice to ignore ruptures and hope they will resolve spontaneously, as this can damage the therapeutic alliance and hinder progress in therapy. A strong clinician-client goal consensus has been found to be related to better treatment outcomes. While spontaneous rupture resolution can occur, it is not consistently supported by empirical research.
