Congruence is the ability to relate and harmonise with oneself as well as the client in an honest, sincere manner, via empathic intuitiveness, positive regard and active listening. There must be congruence between what the therapist is experiencing, what they are aware of and what is conveyed to the

Some of the difficulties that Melba witnessed and experienced during the 1957 integration efforts of the “Little Rock 9” are when in chapter two after they made the decision on Brown v Board of Education when Melba was walking home after school a white man attempted to kidnap and assault and possibly rape Melba just because she was a young black girl.
There's a lot of controversy over the State Question 777. Some say vote yes, some say vote no. I hope this presentation will help you make up your minds. This is the sign you see all the time If not, you haven't taken a drive to Tulsa or Pryor. I believe that SQ 777 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and will devastate family farms. I do not support SQ 777. http://www.votenoon777.com/about and http://www.oklahomarighttofarm.com/
This research paper will evaluate the biological aspects of addictive substance or behavior and how it affects the brain and organs. Biological aspects include dopamine levels that are replaced in the brain due to the reward system being overtaken and the absorption rate of the drug once it is ingested will be discussed. The biological aspects are extensive and permanent if the individual does not get the help they need. Furthermore the clinical issues of addictive substance or behavior will be discussed along with medical treatments and ethical issues. This includes treatments such as counseling
Also it could mean being transparent, and not disguising myself behind my title. I would inform the rookie Therapist to avoid being phony of putting on a façade because the client would most like detect phoniness ,and be resistant or reluctant to actualize. Congruence is a vital part of being a person-centered Therapist. The text explains it like this “congruence refers the counselor’s freely flowing awareness if his experience in the therapeutic moment Murdock, N. L. (2009, pg165). Theories of counseling and psychotherapy: a case approach. Boston: Pearson”. To sum up my answer I would say to the rookie be healthy, be real, and be relatable, and
There are three important aspects to the therapist’s approach; congruence, unconditional positive regard and accurate empathic understanding. These are three core conditions that facilitate the actualization and growth. These conditions relate to the shared journey in which therapists and clients reveal their humanness and participate in a growth experience together.Its only
Transference and countertransference can made the counseling process challenging and difficult for both clients and counselors. It could damage the trust and relationship between counselors and clients. Affect the perception as the same time could affect the behavior of both. Moreover, some clients might change their behaviors towards the counselor, some examples will be dressing like the counselor, seek answers instead of discovering their own answers, the clients might feel powerless and indecisive affecting how the counselor might feel and react toward their clients. In addition, the counselors might affect their clients successful outcomes in treatment when a counselor might had some traumatic issues that might project into their clients. Some examples could be when the counselor response to their clients as a paternal/maternal nurturing, insecurities, seductive behaviors, and so on (Young,
In the period circa 600 B.C.E to 600 C.E., imperial decline and collapse was caused partly by over expansion, a failing economy due to overspending, and external invasions by barbarian tribes as shown by the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 C.E.. One main cause of the decline and collapse of the Roman Empire was over expansion of territory which led to the empire becoming too large to govern successfully and overall decentralization. At its zenith during Pax Romana, the empire extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Euphrates River in the Middle East and also consisted of parts of North Africa. As the empire began expanding farther from its administrative center, the Romans were unable to communicate quickly or effectively enough in order to control their territory. With such a vast empire, Romans struggled to deploy sufficient troops and resources to defend the borders and frontiers from rebellions and external invasions. This also led to the emperor, Hadrian, building his famous wall in order to protect the British Isles from foreign attacks.
The “cave” in Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” is a metaphor for human’s mind, in this document he basically said that human need guidance that help them to get out of that “cave” and the cave that we are in right now is our mindset and our perception. Get out of our cave meaning create for us a new perception, give us a chance to gain back our free will and more than that it help us take back our freedom to think, question, analyze about this world. When you living your old thought and perception, at first you will feel terrifying, scare and depress because you don’t know what to do or what to think , you will question everything you do, see, touch or heard. However, it’s worth it because when you gave up your old knowledge that enlightened
According to Charles Zastrow, back on history it was difficult to meet the needs of people with cognitive disability. Furthermore, people with mental illness were seen as they were possess by the demons in which people use exorcism to cure the illness. The lack of knowledge people used cruel punishment to cure people with mental health problems. In 1601 the Poor Law give financial support to poor people who were unemployed but also those with disability. These was the first attempt to help people with disability. Zastrow claims that, during the 19th century the first program to help people with disability was develop in United States. The rehabilitative services provided for persons with mental and physical problems are “vocational evaluation,
Person-centred therapy came about through Roger’s theory on human personality. He argued that human experiences were valuable whether they were positive or negative so long as they maintained their self actualising tendency. Through one’s experiences and interactions with others Roger believed that a self-concept/regard was developed. Carl Rogers believed that a truly therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor depends on the existence, of three core conditions. The core conditions are important because they represent the key concepts and principles of person-centred therapy. These core conditions are referred to as congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy. Congruence is when the therapist has the ability to be real and honest with the client. This also means that the therapist has to be aware of their own feelings by owning up to them and not hiding behind a professional role. For example, a therapist may say ‘I understand where you are coming from’’ to the client. However the therapist has expressed a confused facial expression while saying this. The clients can be become aware of this and may feel uncomfortable in expressing their feelings, which might impact their trust and openness towards the therapist. Therefore the major role of the therapist is to acknowledge their body language and what they say and if confusion happens the therapist needs to be able to
Congruence can be explained as genuineness, being honest or real with the client. “Congruence is the state of being of the counsellor when her outward responses to her client consistently match the inner feelings and sensations which she has in relation to the client.” (Mearns and Thorne, 1999, p84) The client must perceive the therapist as being real, in order to develop trust. Again this requires a good awareness and self-knowledge of the therapist.
It means that a therapist understands what the client is feeling at a particular moment. Empathy will help a therapist to communicate his ideas in such way that will make sense. It also helps the therapist to understand the clients when they are communicating. It is a building block of a great social interaction. By having empathic understanding, the therapist will have the ability to appreciate sympathetically and perfectly the client’s experiences and feeling. It will ensure that the client is not lost in his or her own feelings. By understanding how a client truly feels without analyzing or judging them, the therapist and the client will have a successful
The final core condition is congruence or genuineness, this trait has to do with the person-to-person nature of the helping relationship and it is only through maintaining an absence of façade and sustaining a consistency between what I as a counselor say and present in non-verbal terms in response to the what the client verbalizes. Genuineness is key to the helping relationship as Roger’s says “It is only by providing the genuine reality which is in me, that the other person can successfully seek for the reality in him” . I agree with Roger’s core conditions as an aid to developing a safe environment and trust within the helping relationship that will encourage the client to delve deeper and truly work with their problems; without these characteristics the client may feel reluctant to truly expose themselves and may only work superficially with their difficulties preventing long term growth and healing.
‘Congruence’ or genuineness is about breaking down the wall between the therapist and client. ‘Therapist’ and ‘client’ are both roles that the two people assume and can lead to artificial or socially-desirable behaviour. It is therefore, according to Rogers, in the therapist’s best interests to convey that they are a real person behind the role being played out. The client, in turn, needs to feel that they are speaking to a real person, who, like
