This episode introduces the foundations of person-centered therapy—congruency (genuine presence), unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding—and explains how these create a “flow” where clients feel safe to share and change can begin.
Dr. Curtis Peterson also offers practical listening skills, including reflective summarizing and withholding judgments, and challenges listeners to practice these techniques to improve connection and therapeutic outcomes.
