More quotes by Carl Rogers
Experience is the highest authority.
Carl Rogers
We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.
Carl Rogers
In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?
Carl Rogers
The degree to which I can create relationships, which facilitate the growth of others as separate persons, is a measure of the growth I have achieved in myself.
Carl Rogers
No other person's ideas, and none of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience.
Carl Rogers
If the time comes when our culture tires of the endless homicidal feuds, despairs of the use of force and war as a means of bringing peace, becomes discontent with the half-lives that its members are living - only then will our culture seriously look for alternatives.
Carl Rogers
True empathy is always free of any evaluative or diagnostic quality. This comes across to the recipient with some surprise. If I am not being judged, perhaps I am not so evil or abnormal as I have thought.
Carl Rogers
The facts are always friendly, every bit of evidence one can acquire, in any area, leads one that much closer to what is true.
Carl Rogers
The only reality I can possibly know is the world as I perceive it at this moment. The only reality you can possibly know is the world as you see it at this moment. And the only certainty is that those perceived realities are different. There are as many “real worlds” as there are people!
Carl Rogers
The only person who cannot be helped is that person who blames others.
Carl Rogers
It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens.
Carl Rogers
We cannot change, we cannot move away from what we are, until we thoroughly accept what we are. Then change seems to come about almost unnoticed.
Carl Rogers
Openness to all attitudes no matter how extreme or unrealistic they may seem.
Carl Rogers
There are as many real worlds as there are people!
Carl Rogers
Empathy is a special way of coming to know another and ourself, a kind of attuning and understanding. When empathy is extended, it satisfies our needs and wish for intimacy, it rescues us from our feelings of aloneness.
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
The paradigm of Western culture is that the essence of persons is dangerous thus, they must be taught, guided, and controlled by those with superior authority.
Carl Rogers
Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me, and which truly expresses me?
Carl Rogers
Experience is, for me, the highest authority.
Carl Rogers
There is in every organism, at whatever level, an underlying flow of movement toward constructive fulfillment of its inherent possibilities.
Carl Rogers
