Description

Explore our inherent potential for growth, even in a crisis, with Emma Tickle. Crises are opportunities for transformation: human beings have an inherent capacity to change and adapt even to painful events. In social isolation, economic pain, even grief and anxiety generated by coronavirus, we want to connect with others. Connection with ourselves is also an important resource: self and inter-personal awareness help us make more appropriate and creative adaptions to reality.

Reading/resources

The International Focusing Institute was set up in 1979 and builds on the work of Eugene T. Gendlin. There is a wealth of free resources, including videos of focusing sessions.

The Person-Centred Association offers accessible summaries of Carl Rogers and Person-Centred theory and therapy, as well as a list of useful references and websites.

The Counseling Tutor provides some of Carl Rogers’ quotes, which provide a taste of his accessible writing style, and references for further reading. 

A very accessible introduction to focusing and how to do it is E. T. Gendlin, Focusing, Bantam Books, 1982. See The International Focusing Institute.

Three seminal books written by Carl Rogers that describe his theory of personality and person-centred practice:

  • Rogers, Carl (1967). On Becoming a Person. London: Constable
  • Rogers, Carl (1980). A Way of Being. Boston: Houghton Mifflin
  • Rogers, Carl (1951). Client-Centered Therapy. Cambridge Massachusetts: The Riverside Press.
