Answer:

b. it allows the patient the comfort to release private thoughts and emotions.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the American Psychiatric Administration (APA), psychotherapy is talk therapy to help people overcome mental or emotional issues.

A psychotherapy is a transfer of information that the patient does with the therapist. But, people don't trust that easy, they psychotherapist must build an trust-based relationship with the patient and the environment is crucial to achieve that. Giving the sensation of being protected is what assure the patient that he can unload all his weight, problems and worries. Then, the psychotherapist evaluates from an objective perspective the situation, to see what could be the reason of all the problems.
