serenity
The quality of being clear, calm, and peace. It is the stillness of mind, the absence of stress and an environment devoid of disturbance or noise.

empathy

confidentiality
The principle of confidentiality is about privacy or respecting someone's wishes. It means that when privileged information passes through one of the gates of one’s senses, it must remain within the walls of the mind...
Bond & Boundary
This is the ability to balance between cordiality and professional boundaries. We must create an atmosphere that is accommodating and free of judgement. We must also know where we draw the line.

Sight
The power to see, name or identify a situation as it is without any bias or preconception. It takes both courage and deep honesty to see or name things as they are.
Foresight
Foresight depicts projection. It is the ability know the end from the beginning. Proactivity is often the result of great foresight. We do not fear the future, we shape it.
Insight

Hindsight
Hindsight is the understanding of an event after it has occurred. It is the ability to track the footsteps of one's life and claim mastery over it's patterns. If you can name it you can tame it.
