Our self concept holds beliefs and values of ourselves and the world around us. It's incredibly useful, it allows you to collect and collate a whole range of ideas and build on what you have learned and grow. The danger comes when you start distorting the world to suit what's in the container. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . . #plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #carlrogers #personcentredtherapy #personcentredapproach #personcentred #pct #onlinetherapy #onlinecounselling #positivethinking #positivepsychology #humanistic #growth #therapymemes #therapysession #growthmindset #psychotherapy #psychology #psychologytoday #bacp #ukcp #selfcareeveryday #growthmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CHxHk76DaSb/?igshid=11upqc1w8ldjv

Published in 1970, Carl Rogers wrote this in his book 'On Encounter Groups'. 50 years on is it still true? Let me know. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . #plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #carlrogers #personcentredtherapy #personcentredapproach #personcentred #pct #onlinetherapy #onlinecounselling #positivethinking #positivepsychology #humanistic #growth #therapymemes #therapysession #growthmindset #psychotherapy #psychology #psychologytoday #bacp #ukcp #psychodynamic #cbttherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/CHuYvSKDLPq/?igshid=1jubtzshdibsl

Person Centred Therapy is collaborative. Carl Rogers expected the therapist or counsellor to be geunine in the relationship, only then could the client be expected to do the same. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . . #plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #carlrogers #personcentredtherapy #personcentredapproach #personcentred #pct #onlinetherapy #onlinecounselling #positivethinking #positivepsychology #humanistic #growth #therapymemes #therapysession #growthmindset #psychotherapy #psychology #psychologytoday #bacp #ukcp https://www.instagram.com/p/CHr8RlCj2gX/?igshid=afdsbbpmmn6z

Less is more, sometimes. I've yet to find a more efficient way to experience the cathertic release of anger, excitement, frustration, joy, motivation, values and action. Words aren't bad, words aren't good, you're the one adding the baggage.

When the fuck is the wind going to be at my back? Why does it feel like I'm constantly paddling against the tide? Does this hill just keep going up? When is the universe going to cut me some slack and remove a hurdle or two instead of littering them constantly in my path? I'm starting to take this personally. I'm feeling hard done by. I'm trying so hard. I'm giving it everything. It just feels like I'm forcing everything. I've ruined the old, I'm not used to the new, the present feels completely unnatural. This is too hard. Where's the flow? Where's the bliss of becoming?... He cried out halfway up the hill, halfway across the river, halfway into his race, halfway through the test. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . . . . . .#plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #psychology #psychotherapy #motivation #inspiration #goals #motivationoftheday #positivityiskey #mindsetmatters #successquotes #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthwarrior #therapy #mentalhealthmatters #positivepsychology #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthtips #selfesteem #mentalhealth #heal #truth #onlinetherapy #onlinecounseling #selflove #loveyourself #selfawareness #keytosuccess #anxiety https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkyudXDx_w/?igshid=14kyds515zbq5

Are you a good listener? How many good listeners do you know? Whatever you answered, you’re wrong. Do you know why? Everybody listens, all of us. Calm down, listen... Let me explain: Listening is a load of bullshit. Listening is passive. Saying you’re a good listener is like being proud of blinking. You don’t have a say, unless you plug your ears or thumb your eyelids open, it happens without any fucking effort whatsoever.  That’s what you want credit for? Ugh. If someone has their mouth open before you’ve even finished speaking, they’re listening. Or you can just stand there like a potato and say nothing, that’s listening. The sounds go into the ear canal and are processed in the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe. Listening has about three steps.  You know what has way more steps? Hearing. Being heard is much more complicated. Hearing requires the recipient to take the words, use some imagination and extract the real meaning and emotional subtext of what’s being said. This isn’t easy, because to hear you need to empathise. You abandon your own perspective in lieu of seeing the world through the eyes of speaker. You read between the lines, you watch the body language, you notice the changes in the tone of voice and movement of the eyes. We want to be heard, not listened to. So, you should try to hear and not listen. This is how you will learn what being heard actually feels like. Adversely, you will also realise that listening is a load of bullshit. Now, it’s up to you to put the work in and notice the difference between when you’re being listened to and when you’re actually being heard. Tomorrow I will tell why this is vital, it might change your life... Well, maybe… just hear me out. .
