CARL ROGERS AND GLORIA - COUNSELLING - PT 4

Gloria wants answers that are within herself. She sounds like a wonderful mother who just wants to protect her daughter whilst exploring her own desires.

Her daughter is only 9 what the hell is wrong with this selfish woman. She cant accept herself, why would she want to tell her daughter

What a great demonstration! I think Rogers comment of her being a nice daughter was an awesome display of "realness, genuiness...Gloria was having some really good breakthroughs. Roger's ability to empathize with her was amazing. Great video

he's pretty much guiding her to finding her own answers within herself. it's such an amazing strategy he is using. he seems so reassuring, so calm, and so easy to trust.

thats counselling in a nutshell

What he said is beautiful. It seems that she needed some word like that. The conflict she have had bettween family and morals. The acceptance from her father etc. Great video

Indeed.

I think what was happening between Rogers and Gloria in that moment was what is referred to as transference/countertransferen ce. Rogers type of therapy is not one in which the therapist steps back away from those moments and interprets them (as in psychoanalysis), rather it is one in which acceptance of the client takes priority, which is what Rogers was doing when he said "you look like a pretty nice daughter". No boundaries were crossed, only a difference in perspective.

Quite right.

It takes two persons to make a marriage and it also takes two persons for a divorce...
