Therapy and Restoration
Carl Rogers’s view of client centered therapy and unconditional positive regard can be placed into the category of the restoration. Unconditional positive regard is something that I think that is important for therapy. I do not think it is important solely for the client, but also the therapist. Carl Rogers understood that this concept is hard in practice because it is a way of learning for the therapist as well as the client. It’s is not an easy task to accept a person for no matter what they do. But God does that for us everyday. To be reminded what God wants us to do for others is important because we are called to accept not to judge. Therapy that is centered around acceptance is a perfect place for clients to get the help they need.

Experience and growth is a part of creation. Carl rogers understood how important it is for the individual to be able to recognize their potential. I agree with your idea that our culture does sort of live in technology and not in life. I think that because of our reliance on it that our culture is becoming more egocentric and focused more on how things are portrayed rather than how things actually are.

Very true mary kate/Laura kate. Finding your own path is new creation. You and you alone are responsible for how to deal with the struggles in life. No matter what happens I always have to remind myself that i am responsible for how I deal with the certain obstacles that are placed in my life. It is so easy to blame others for things that have happened to us. But we cannot live a full life if we don’t take responsibility for what we do with what we have.

I liked how you tied in your personal story about Auschwitz. It’s very true that Frankl did experience the fall first hand. How he was able grow through all of the pain that he had to suffer is incredibly brave.

Haley. You go girl! I love this post because you integrated how evolutionary psychology applies to Jung. The strive for harmony is a redemptive quality.

Awesome insight! Clearly you really understand this subject. It’s cool how we can be restored through the use of problem solving skills. WIthout the ability to change we cannot be redeemed.

Cool connection. I like how you related development and creation. How we develop and grow has a lot to do with how we are created. I like how you talked about something different than what normally people talk about in blog posts.

Yes that is awesome! i liked how you compared gestalt and redemption. It is important to view people as a whole because that way you can see people more clearly and be less inclined to judge.

I liked your view on putting Hume into the fall. Good reasoning about how his ideas contradict the bibles views on morality. Cool thoughts about how actions are not always driven by passions.
