I’ve been a therapist for over a decade now. I’m primarily mindfulness based in terms of technique or adding to what a person knows how to relate to their emotions and thoughts. But let me tell you, Carl Rogers is at the heart of any good therapy. His understanding of the human to human connection transcends his era or any other. We are deeply, deeply social and intrapersonal creatures seeking acceptance, understanding, care, and love just as much if not more, than knowledge. When in doubt, be Carl Rogers.
beautiful. since the moment i heard rogers talk and read his theories, ideas and experiences, i absolutely adored the way this man uses language to express himself and his ideas. his humility and respect for each human being and the uniqueness of their experiences is amazing. thank you so much for all you did!
this is happening to me right now. read about him in my psych textbook and loved his ideas, now i watched this video and i like him even more. i want to do a deep dive into this guy
@@JoyRob1313 Oh my goodness yes!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to facilitate a Person Centered group and it is quite possible using the internet and zoom or google meet? Are you interested in participating? I have done a lot of these. So yes I can facilitate...I just need those who want to commit to a workshop. I would do the workshop as inexpensive as possible. I can do CEU credits for this. People would have to pay for that on top of whatever fee I attach. Usually the CEU's are like 20$ or at least that was the price. And I would do the workshop for like 25$ per head with minimum of ten people. We would have to figure out time zone too.........I am EST I would like to make this work...and from there anything can happen. 😉
“””I met you”””. in college when taking my bachelor in clinical psychology back in my country Brazil. I fall in love with your theory it all made sense to me. Today I am a Masters Mental health counselor in USA. I got closer to you :) and even more to all yr teachings. Self Actualization of the organism is mindfulness. Is just go with the organismic follow and balance it without judgement or stagnation. Empathy is one of the most important principles that I learned in your theory when experiencing with clients. Yr essence still works among us ! Thank you for reminding us of being essentially more human. Or to practice who we really are ! Anna
I just found Carl Rogers because of my personality type results. We share the same type and after listening to him, that makes me happy. I have always felt different from everyone else in this world. This man makes me feel like I'm not alone.
when he said he stretched his empathetic abilities out of care but thought he didn't do well only to learn it did have an impact on his client, I burst into tears. That's so moving and exactly how I feel when I'm trying to support family and friends. What an emotional video for being less than 2 minutes long. You can tell he's a good man.
I love PCT. As a MFT intern I am surprise how many professionals in the psychology field think I am strange for liking his approach. In my experience most people react favorably when someone is truly empathic and caring during therapy.
JOHNYCHINGAZ I did that approach and I'm now extremely critical of it. One of the main criticisms is that it's a bit fake! Also, Rogers ideas are hard to prove, seem simplistic to me and not sure if his approach is any better than just having a friend. Especially this thing of 'exploring self' and 'love self' is usually non-productive to loads of people and offers no real prognostic/method/strategies.
Your main criticism is that its a bit fake. I dont think that you understand that you werent supposed to fake empathy, you were actually to accept the person fully. Not approve of everything but be empathic about all aspects of their being. It takes some time and involves that you accept yourself in your entirety. I understand that this method is hard to prove, I dont get your other points of criticism. Some people coming to psychotherapy might not have a friend who unconditionally accepts them. I dont have data on this but I suppose many mental health issues may lead to or cause some kind of lack of support. One example of how this method may benefit the patient: I feel that you notice in a conversation if the other is uncomfortable with parts of your being and you tend to hide that. Hiding parts of yourself again leads to it being harder to solve. I dont understand why you feel that exploring self and loving self is unproductive to "loads of people". I've never heard of it being unproductive. Only if you know what your problem is, if you can accept it and still look into the mirror without feeling horrible can you start finding solutions and asking for help.
I'm an MFT intern right now and have not learned anything really about Carl Rogers. I looked him up because my supervisor said I'm more Rogerian than I realize. I practice from a solution-focuses model, but SFBT and PCT seem to integrate nicely
That's a great point. There is a tendency to theoretically analyse thoughts, behaviour, the past and the subconscious. But we sometimes forget the most obvious, being a good and trusted friend.
CACREP M.S. graduate in Family/Child Counseling and Rogers is one of my heroes. We have learned so much from his theory and teachings in both life and counseling. 💕

Hi i done my Diploma in Person Centred Counselling at CONEL some time back. I am looking for a copy of a paper called the'" final paper" it was a list of questions. can anybody help ?
It should be "EMPATHY" centered therapy with each partipant empathising with the other family members not "SELF CENTERED" therapy.!!!! Empathy is the basis of drawing a person out of depression and frustration. "Being Yourself" is important but not if the self is a complete pain in the ass to everyone else.
SELF is the central developmental construct from which the theory begins, it is totally about the potential development of SELFhood in the other through compassionate empathetic dialogue. While it contains empathy, it does not revolve around it.
Amber Finnicum-Simmons all countries have an army for defence, during the aparteid era 92% of all murders were black on black, mostly down to the animosity between the Zulu and the anc, if you were a young girl growing up in south Africa wouldn't you feel safer knowing there were people to protect you?
Person- centered therapy is the only form of real therapy. How can others be called therapies if they’re not person- centered? It’s respectful. And it requires a certain- alas, rare- qualities of the soul of the therapist i.e. healthy intellectual humility, openness, respect.
This is a good idea generally, but WARNING: Don't only be a "friend". Some of your patients need friendship, but some need your skill. So many therapists offer only friendship and listening, instead of digging deep and finding answers. It's lazy.
I returned all items to Rogers, have the receipt from Canada Post, made sure all items were in the carton, Rogers received the carton intact, and yet DAVE at Rogers, calls me a liar, claiming I did not include one item. Since I was not staying with Rogers, why would I keep the item I wonder. The first thing I think is, did DAVE keep the item for himself or sell it to someone else. Either way, Rogers is deducting funds for the item they DAVE states I did not return. Great customer service Rogers. And their security department does noting. Nothing. They don't even pretend to care, by taking report. I hope Rogers makes good use of the funds they are holding from me, based on the word of DAVE. Keep treating consumers like garbage under your feet Rogers.
Do u know why it sounds so right？because his theory is in line with the image of god，unconditional love！it resonates with our hearts and souls made by god
Take that shit advertising pop up end page and logo from showing when it's the most profound insight. That's shit, snow the at the end, the app gives your the option.
Sorry Rogers but I don't believe that a simple interview would've changed this young men's life... Especially after you said the interview didn't go particularly well. Rogers is so optimistic about the power of his approach and seems to confuse correlation with causation.
correlation doesn't always mean causation that is what I also learned from social psychology. The third variable can be that he actually learned in the end after the interview the psychologist thinks went so wrong
Sorry Nelson but Rogers was very honest and I'm sure he is not speaking from ego or plain optimism. I agree with Kevin -- you should try and deeply implement his approach. It's the best way to understand it and him.
Telling someone to accept themselves or that you accept them just the way you are is the most nihilistic thing anyone has ever come up with. What does that say about your future self. You're okay just the Way You are. No... A much better message would be to let someone know "you're not all you could be and you know it." Yeah it seems a bit harsh and doesn't feel as good but it gets better results. You don't have to be cruel and rude about it but stop lying to people. Call Roger's had good intentions, true. He just didn't get this particular thing right.
This approach to validate whatever the client says, kind of like just go along with it and yes the client all session long, make excuses for whatever the issues the client has...is extremely ineffective. Just saying.....
Sofia Miau , what you are presenting here is a caricature based on assumptions and stereotypes. It would be best if you engaged with some reading material on the subject so that you could present us with more thoughtful, balanced and solid arguments.
He's entering into the client's experience with him or her, not making excuses or even agreeing. It helps the person feel not alone, more connected, respected, accepted. This allows them the freedom to move by themselves into other points of view and through feelings that were not understood. I think it would be best if you engaged with someone practicing the approach and fully experience it.
Where did you get that idea of PST from? Imagine a process where you are dedicated to honesty with a client. Why do you think you'd be saying yes all session long? I think this interpretation of PST assumes the therapist/counsellor is the expert who diagnoses the client - PST empowers the client to identify where transformation originates - spoiler, it's not in the chair opposite them..

what's wrong with being an officer in the south African army?
My guess is that Rogers might have struggled to support and understand a person who was actively perpetuating the South African apartheid.
Amber Finnicum-Simmons all countries have an army for defence, during the aparteid era 92% of all murders were black on black, mostly down to the animosity between the Zulu and the anc, if you were a young girl growing up in south Africa wouldn't you feel safer knowing there were people to protect you?
