1 Beach Bryce Beach Dr. Logan PSYC 371-002 October 19, 2023 Case Study #3: Person-Centered Theory QUESTION 1: How would you respond to Stan’s deep feelings of self-doubt? Could you enter his frame of reference and respond in an empathic manner that lets Stan know you hear his pain and struggle without needing to give advice or suggestions? I would initially want to understand more about his self-doubt and its possible ties to a desire for validation. Did he impose it upon himself throughout his development, or was this imposed on him by another person? Absolutely I could, due to my past, I know it was simple for me to establish empathy for Stan’s situation and simply listen to his pain like how God listened to me through my pain. QUESTION 2: How would you describe Stan’s deeper struggles? What sense do you have of his world? Growing up, I had similar issues of not feeling like I was enough, and it was in part because I felt so alone within my own world. I knew people but I did not truly know them nor did they know me. However, as I got older, I began to turn more towards God and found my worth in Him and knew who I was from that. Showing that Stan desires deeper connections and even belief in himself and the confidence to make those connections. QUESTION 3: To what extent do you think that the relationship you would develop with Stan would help him move forward in a positive direction? What, if anything, might get in your way —either with him or in yourself—in establishing a therapeutic relationship?

2 Beach Being able to connect with someone or feel like they understand you can make a big impact on one’s life, for me I saw that through my parents. When I feel understood by them and connect with them, I feel much stronger in my walk-through life than when I have them not understanding me along with others. Therefore, a therapeutic relationship would be beneficial to Stan and can help him to be able to build friendships and relationships that build a foundation for his life. The only thing that could get in the way when establishing a therapeutic relationship is not putting down proper boundaries and Stan begins to think of you more as a friend than a professional and could compromise the relationship.
