Understanding Person-Centered Therapy: Person-Centered Therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the individual's capacity for self-discovery and personal growth. In this approach, the therapist provides a supportive and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Application and Scope of Person-Centered Therapy: Person-Centered Therapy is applied to a wide range of psychological concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem issues. It's particularly effective for individuals seeking a client-centered and empathetic therapeutic experience. Person-Centered Therapy is relevant for people of all ages and backgrounds. What to Expect in Person-Centered Therapy Sessions: In Person-Centered Therapy sessions, individuals work with a trained therapist who offers unconditional positive regard, empathy, and active listening. The therapist encourages individuals to freely express their thoughts and emotions, facilitating self-exploration and self-acceptance. The focus is on the individual's unique experience and their capacity to make choices that align with their values and goals.
