Therapy can be the vehicle to assist a person in achieving their level of potential fulfillment. Psychologists and other health care professionals are most successful when they work with clients to reduce discrepancies between self-image (how a person sees themselves) and ideal self (what a person would like to become).

According to Rogers, psychotherapy requires three conditions to be effective:

Compatibility between the therapist and client

Unconditional positive regard for the client

A therapist who listens with empathy

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

If you were a therapist, how would you create an optimal environment for therapy?

How would you manage the therapeutic relationship to ensure all three conditions are met?

How does your response support a humanist approach to therapy?

Based on your reading, do you think you could incorporate this type of interaction with others in your daily life? Why or why not?
