We are relational beings. Healing occurs in relationship, always. There is an over inflated myth of individuality in western culture, so appreciating nuances in the relational space is important to get right if you are hoping to help people move towards health.
Perceptual field includes what you can sense in the present moment. Relational field is very similar but is focused on the human being you are relating too. Relational field can include history and future expectations. For example, you may be in a relational field with someone close to you, even if they are not in the room. You know where they are (probably) and your present is to some extent determined by what has already happened between you (you live with them, you dropped them off this morning, you trust them) and what is likely to happen in the future (you will see them soon, eat with them, be reassured by them).
