Hi,
I looked up Client-Centered Therapy. I had a friend many years ago who studied the founder in college (and because I am a freak about looking up things)

Quote:
So, this is what CC therapists do:
--Listen and try to understand how things are from the client's point of view.
--Check that understanding with the client if unsure.
--Treat the client with the utmost respect and regard.
--There is also a mandate for the therapist to be "congruent", or "transparent" - which means being self-aware, self-accepting, and having no mask between oneself and the client. The therapist knows themselves and is willing to be known.
