Carl Rogers
The elements in a relationship which seem impossible to share, the secretly disturbing, dissatisfying elements, are the most rewarding to share. This is a hard, risky, frightening thing to learn, and it needs to be re-learned over and over.
Carl Rogers
Growth occurs when individuals confront problems, struggle to master them, and through that struggle develop new aspects of their skills, capacities, views about life.
Carl Rogers
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.
Carl Rogers
When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me.
Carl Rogers
Experience is, for me, the highest authority.
Carl Rogers
Loneliness is a barrier that prevents one from uniting with the inner self.
Carl Rogers
Experience is the highest authority.
Carl Rogers
Openness to all attitudes no matter how extreme or unrealistic they may seem.
