PERSON CENTERED THERAPY In person-centered therapy, you can expect your therapist to listen, be empathetic, and support you in finding your own solutions. The therapist will not give advice or lead you in exercises. What to expect Empathy: The therapist will try to understand your point of view and reflect your feelings back to you. Unconditional positive regard: The therapist will accept and support you without judgment. Congruence: The therapist will be genuine, authentic, and transparent. Active listening: The therapist will pay close attention to what you say and convey an understanding of your feelings and thoughts. Reflection: The therapist will help you reflect on your experiences. Reassurance: The therapist will offer reassurance through active listening and positive body language. How it helps These techniques help you gain a better understanding of your own thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. This can lead to increased self-awareness and change. First session The first session is usually an overview of your problems. Subsequent sessions will continue to explore your concerns.
