More quotes by 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
It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens.
Carl Rogers
The action of the child inventing a new game with his playmates Einstein formulating a theory of relativity the housewife devising a new sauce for the meat, a young author writing his first novel all of these are in terms of definition, Creative, and there is no attempt to set them in some order of more or less Creative.
Carl Rogers
There are as many real worlds as there are people!
Carl Rogers
Learning of all kinds goes on best, lasts best, and tends to lead itself on more when it grows out of a real focus of interest in the learner.
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
If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning.
Carl Rogers
Openness to all attitudes no matter how extreme or unrealistic they may seem.
Carl Rogers
No other person's ideas, and none of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience.
Carl Rogers
Though modern Marriage is a tremendous laboratory, its members are often without preparation for the partnership function. How much agony and remorse and failure could have been avoided if there had been at least some rudimentary learning before they entered the partnership.
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 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
It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried.
Carl Rogers
It's an awful risky thing to live
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
If I can listen to what he can tell me, if I can understand how it seems to him if I can see its personal meaning for him, if I can sense the emotional flavor which it has for him, then I will be releasing potent forces of change in him.
Carl Rogers
Man's inability to communicate is a result of his failure to listen effectively.
Carl Rogers
It is a direction not a destination.
Carl Rogers
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
Carl Rogers
I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher, is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.
