On the other hand I am going to discuss how learning the person centred approach has affected my personal and work life in a positive way. The first core condition is called congruence; it can also be described as realness or genuineness. ‘it has been found that personal change is facilitated when the psychotherapist is what he is,
P.53 – What does John say makes us human? John is, essentially, saying that the fact that we can converse and the fact that we have differing opinions is what makes us human. He also says how the fact that we want to better ourselves and have nice things is also a trait that makes us human beings – “That we both agree to converse. In effect, we agree that we are both human”, “I’m not a...”exploiter,” and you’re not a...”deranged,” what? Revolutionary...that we may, that we may have...positions, and that we may have...desires, which
Rogers also believed that people are inherently good and creative. However, he thought that people could become destructive when a poor self concept (how one sees oneself in comparison to others) or external constraints override the valuing process. Rogers thought that for a client to experience therapeutic change, certain conditions had to be present within the relationship. These conditions he called “The Core Conditions”, which were empathy, congruence (genuineness) and unconditional positive regard (respect). When Rogers talked about empathy, he meant the therapist should continually try to understand the client from their point of view (enter into their world to get a sense of how it feels)
For example people who are afraid of situations they help them to change their thinking by counselling allow them to talk about their fear whilst using probe questions to give them room to open up more and make their own suggestions .Though this process can not remove their problem but it helps them to think in a positive way. It is normally used to overcome anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Example using a humanistic approach. to help someone, with learning disabilities, to live a more valuable life. This could be planning person centred support to empower the individual to manage their own
Does It Really Matter How Much We Mean to Others? A natural part of life is finding one’s self-worth value to the world around them. We look at judgmental forces to find the value of ourselves such as our self-image, the aesthetic values of times, that places we are in, and the people we meet. These forces help find the variables we are commonly judged that way we can look at our positive value that comes from these variables, so we can then find our true self-image to the world. In “The Story of My Body”, Judith Ortiz Cofer, the author, explains how she let her forces take over at first to where she felt more comfortable being “invisible”.
We sometimes seem wired to adopt the goals of the people around us, particularly when we develop a close relationship with them. Of course, that can be a positive or negative thing depending on what the people around us are doing. For that reason, we have to be careful to surround ourselves with other people who are engaging in behaviours that we would like to see in ourselves. If one is unable to feel adequate enough within a group or is not fully comfortable with themselves, there is a chance one may conform in order to fit in. ‘The more insecure people feel, the more conformist they become.’- John Elder.
Using modality is one way we have to personalise screeds although it is beneficial to use all the senses when trying to create a safe and comfortable space for a client. Modalities play a big part in personalising inductions as assessing the client as an individual helps decide which style will best suit that person. As you begin the process of learning how to hypnotise, you’ll begin to understand that there are two basic styles of hypnotic induction, and these are the Permissive style and the Authoritative style. The permissive style is the more usual style in therapeutic situations where the client needs to feel like they are in control of the situation before they can begin to relax. Attending a hypnosis session for the first time can be a scary thing because of all the mythology that a person probably has about hypnosis.
When working with others, it is best be aware of your own behaviors and the behaviors of others. Emotional intelligence has many factors. One factor is that you should have self awareness. You should be able to understand your own feeling and express them naturally. You should also be able to control your emotions and recover.
When many people speak of personality some folks will see things as they are while others will see things as they can be the potential of that subject. It is good to know that personality is important to being grateful that people can make their own choices and have their own mind to think for themselves, which makes up their own personalities. Everyone is different, in their beliefs, morals, values, advantages and disadvantages, different blessings, and different struggles, meaning people should respect and care for others. To psychologists, the fundamental
On the other hand, cognitivists believe that by reflecting on our own experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world. Though theses two schools of psychology are very much different, they do have their similarities. Behaviorism and cognitivism are similar in that they both attempt to explain and describe how learning occurs in individuals. Both are also valuable learning theories. They observe the response individuals make to different situations or different conditions.
