• Rogers believed that every person could achieve hisgoals, wishes and desires in life. When they did so, self-actualization took place.
• The closer the ideal-self is to the self-image, the morefulfilled and happier the person you will be.

look at people I am optimistic.”

• If someone accepts us and everything we are, they setno conditions on respecting or loving us. Rogers calls thisunconditional positive regard and he believes that aconsequence of being totally accepted by others is totalacceptance of ourselves by ourselves.
• Any relationship which reduces incongruence is atherapeutic relationship according to Rogers. It consistsof 3 important qualities:• Unconditional positive regard• Empathy• Genuineness
• If a person feels these three qualities in a relationship,they are said to be in a therapeutic, healing or growingrelationship.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself
just as I am, then I can change.”

• The complex society that we live in nurtures us. But it canalso turn against us to the extent of destroying us.
