There's been all these "advancements" in the field of psychotherapy since Rogers' time, yet it turns out they aren't advancements at all, but simply distractions. Some people won't get this way of therapy, but when you are the client you FEEL the power of empathic listening. There is nothing to do, nothing to fix, nothing wrong. There is nothing more powerful than someone listening to you, saying back what they're hearing you say from time to time to make sure they're with you. It's absolutely transformative! Perhaps the transformation doesn't occur in one session, but over time, being listened to in this way develops emotional safety, and the client will begin to express parts of them that they've never shared with anyone, and that's where the real healing happens. It's so simple, that many can't see its power.
The pacing, the subtle moments, the silence, the gentle nudging, the focus totally on the client, the safe feeling, the use of metaphor without being pretentious, etc etc… this is absolutely a master at work!
Carl Rogers being one of the biggest existentialist maturated a form of psychology that has staggered the consistent conclusion of objective/subjective dissociation within the phenomenon of that of the psyche. The unaccounted variables that pertain to the subjective nature is where Carl rogers established his principle of unconditional regard and the authentic listening that only comes with a mature and pure existence of the human potential. R.I.P Dr. Carl Rogers
I do like all the approaches, as I think there is not one prescription to fit all, we are all individual with unique experiences therefore a therapist should be relieved to know that is ok to implement a variety of this knowledge to enable the client to embark on a journey of self knowledge that free the individual from suffering, as long as it is based oh safety and empathy for the client without judgment. Thanks for posting this gems 💎
Does anyone know any studies that look at outcomes from different approaches. I guess it would be really difficult as every therapist and client and context is unique.
In general, the finding is that the relationship between the client and the therapist is more important than the technique used. There are many many studies on specific approaches for specific conditions, e.g. CBT works well with anxiety.
Rogers conducted research on his key therapeutic attributes - empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. He found the therapists who demonstrated these three attributes had more success than those who didn't.
“There is a guard around your loneliness” -something I’ve picked up on (can explore with client). “How can I stay safe and open …” (my response - how can I stay safe and open and get rid of my loneliness when it comes to seeking relationships with other men). “If a person really doesn’t want to be your friend how can you have him for a lover” (my response - so there is that feeling of if I don’t get emotional connection from you that is like friendship how can this ever lead to romantic feelings. Rogers response: so friendship is a necessary step?). “I think your eyes are telling me you are at risk right now” (Rogers - congruence). “ Scared part is like cave” (client) - once you feel safe you can come out of cave and let secure part emerge (Rogers - fab reflection). “I cannot reveal myself to people who are too busy “ (client) - Can people handle my emotional weight? How will they respond? I can only imagine the responsibility they may feel (my response).
Does anyone else think Rogers should have challenged this patient by asking more (uncomfortable) questions? Also does anyone else think that he didn't ask enough questions to understand her situation fully?
Oh yeah! There was a lot to be asked about to get a comprehensive understanding of the situation but I think his empathic listening is focused on the patient, her voice, eye movement and gestures and those silences were uncomfortable enough to puch her to talk more, also therepy takes time, maybe more clever questions will be asked as the therepy progresses
@@jacek_dzieciolowski excellent question! Because you definitely don't want to interrupt a chain of thought or ask something irrelevant, but if you use empahic listening like Rogers or free association like Freud you get to read between the lines and feel out the direction of the discussion, it gives you signs of emphasis or concerns and you can use these point to ask questions or clarify a point. This is all just my own personal opinion
@@coldflame999 I think you're making a valid point- any expression whether it's verbal or physical is an additional clue to what's going on in the patient's head

I absolutely agree with you! I want to speak with you and discuss exactly this topic of possible. Thank you.
The silence is absolutely deafening
The rapport C.Rogers achieved in such a short time is incredible. He was a master at creating and holding space for clients- My counseling hero!
u sucks joanna
I think Rogers was able to sit in the cave with the client and she didn't know it. What a legend!
Absolute counselling mastery! This short video teaches you more than hundreds of books.

The silence of Unconditional Love heals
Wow as a trainee therapist myself, I've never related to a client so much. This was a great to watch!
Love Rogerian Therapy . I am heavily influenced by Rogerian therapy in my Counselling work. Respect and gratitude to all.

It's a great session. I have no words to describe the feeling of calmness that Rogers expresses
Carl Rogers is my superhero.
Great example, Thanks Carl and thanks for posting. I’d only seen the Gloria session, he is a gem 👌
