Person-centred counselling approaches psychological therapy from the point of view that we are all capable of developing ourselves, given sympathetic conditions.
Mental health: privacy and the public gaze
For balanced mental health, it’s important to spend time in public, and time in private.
Be good, but be yourself too
Morality and ethics should be flexible enough to allow for our individual character. Otherwise ‘being good’ can make us miserable.
Self-acceptance, self-assertion and self-promotion
In our approach to self-development, we can work passively (e.g. on self-acceptance), or actively (e.g. on self-assertion or self-promotion).
Mental health: a strategic question to ask yourself
We can nurse our pain, but without a plan, that pain will repeat itself.
Projection and meditation
When we feel negative emotions, our natural reaction is to disown them, to project them onto others. But this causes harm, both to others and ourselves.
