(  )  Carl Rogers - Press Conf - #1 Audio Adjusted

 

Healthy State - Carl Rogers - 1986 

 

  • Was in South Africa and USSR

  • 21:00 the third day of conference  - Suggested they try an 'empathy experience'.

    • triads: Client, therapist, observer .

    • 15 minutes the person talks and is reflected., then they discuss it.

    • then they switch roles..

    • was very moving, a safe environment and the floodgates opened.

    • People being the therapists didn't do a good job. people had talked about empathy but doing it was another matter.

    • putting active listening into practice is different than talking about it.
