Congruence represents the openness and geniuses of the therapists. Therapists who function this way does not hind behind a professional façade, and are willing to share significant emotional reactions with their clients.

One person in my life who has developed their skill of unconditional positive regard is my stepdad. No matter what I tell him or how I act towards him, he is always the same. He accepts the good, bad, and ugly in me and sees the best in me. Through my relationships with him I can see the benefit of Unconditional Positive Regards in therapeutic and even everyday

The Relationship: “I am hypothesising that significant positive personality change does not occur except in a relationship.” (Rogers, 1990: 221) Rogers believed that great importance should be placed on the need for a minimal psychological meeting of minds to occur in order to bring about a positive degree of personality change. This relationship however minimal seems to be the foundation from where all the other conditions
As the title implies, the therapist must communicate to the individual that they are valuable and worthwhile (Harvard Medical School, 2006). This care should be an unconditional positive regard and is best achieved through empathy of the individual and their situations. In order to express this caring, the therapist must not implement evaluation or judgment of the individual. There should not be a stipulation or requirement
Upon beginning my counseling sessions at the student counseling center, I was unsure of what I would experience as a client, unsure of how I would react or what I would disclose during the sessions, and I was nervous about participating in counseling sessions. Before my first session, I found myself reflecting on why I felt so uneasy and nervous about participating in an individual session. Specifically, I remember thinking about how this activity would give me the opportunity to be a client, and
would be that of helping the client in assuming responsibility and putting it into the client’s hands by way of “shifting their standards” back to client instead of others (Thompson, 2003). The central theme of Roger’s theory is that of “Unconditional Positive Regard” on the part of the therapist. One is to accept the client as they are without judgment.

All of these things point towards what separates us from having a 'cure' approach and having a Christian based 'care' approach
clients are not able to do this and since the approach is non-directive how can one as a therapist help the client. Therefore, I view it to be counterproductive for the well being of the client especially clients who need more direction. Unconditional positive regard is one of Rogers’s key concepts towards building a helping relationship with a client. However, as useful and as helpful that I find it, I also find it to be counterproductive. For example, logically speaking, people seek therapy to alleviate

Through the use of micro-skills such as empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence, the counsellor is able to set the foundation for building a strong relationship between themselves and the client.

People desire to complete their self-image by being the best they can be and promote their ideal self. Congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy allow a person to connect with themselves and with others for positive self-understanding and growth.
