Conditions of worth

Incongruence

the result of the wide gap between the self concept and ideal self. The greater the____, the more vulnerable we are. (Winter often finds herself in situations where she feels pressured to act in ways that do not align with her true thoughts and feelings. She frequently experiences inner turmoil and struggles to maintain a consistent sense of self.)

Defensiveness

the protection of the self concept against anxiety and threat by the denial or distortion of experiences inconsistent with it. (parang repression)

Distortion

misinterpreting an experience in order to fit it into some aspect of the self concept. We perceive the experience in awareness, but we fail to understand its true meaning. (parang rationalization)

Denial

refuse to perceive an experience in awareness, or at least we keep some aspect of it from reaching symbolization.

Client centered therapy

is developed by Rogers in which the therapists do not attempt to change their clients, but rather to provide an atmosphere within which clients are able to help themselves. It assumes that each of us will grow and develop in a positive, self actualizing fashion unless our progress is in some way impeded. After the therapy, clients should be more open to personal experience, more able to accept all parts of themselves.

Counselor Congruence

to be congruent means to be real or genuine, to be whole or integrated, to be what one truly is. (naiintindihan talaga)

Unconditional positive regards

exists when the therapist accepts and prizes the client without conditions or qualifications.

Empathic Listening

exists when therapists accurately sense the feelings of their clients and are able to communicate these perceptions so that clients know that another person has entered their world of feelings without prejudice, projection, or evaluation. (hindi jinajudge)
