Humanistic Therapy and its Approach

The basic cruel side of humanistic therapy is empathy. The purpose of this idea is the
willingness of the therapist to see the world, its various aspects, and understand the situations
through the client's eyes. If a therapist is not empathetic toward the client, then a bond of
emotions and behaviorism can never be built between them. A compassionate and positive
attitude is the only key to the success of humanistic therapy. The non judge mental motive
with positive consideration provides warmth to the client and then only the client can reach a
satisfactory level. These emotions are needed to be developed naturally, as they can not be
generated through outside forces.

Types of Humanistic Therapies

In humanistic therapy has two different approaches known as gestalt therapy and client-
centered therapy.

Gestalt therapy:

This type of therapy works on the strengths and strategies by which a person becomes more
conscious about his feelings and emotions. This therapy completely focuses on the feeling of
the client and understanding the emotional aspect of it. By a complete understanding of a
person, his situations, and what is triggering his brain, future consultations are planned.

Client-centered therapy:

It is a therapy that provides a peaceful and positive surrounding to the client that helps the
client to show his real and own behavior. The person here is given time to settle and come in
his true character so that understanding of his situation becomes easy. This therapy is
judgment-free so that a person will never feel hesitant and speak openly about his mindset.
Society and their responses often result in the secret personality of a person that can be
opened here by providing them enough support and positivity.
Thus, the different approaches that work for pioneering a humanist are very effective, but due
to more concern toward client’s situations, client-centered therapy is in lead. Client-centered
therapy or person-centered therapy was later known as the technique. Similar to Sigmund
Freud, a psychoanalyst, Rogers argued that the therapeutic relationship could lead to
customer preferences and lasting changes. Although Freud focused on clarifying what he
thought were the hidden inconsistencies that led to a client's difficulties, Rogers assumed that
the therapist should continue to be non-directive. The social issues, gender discrimination,
and also challenges due to economic status generate a huge gap among the people, but a
proper therapy given by a consultant is very effective for self-realization and it provides a
subtle future and satisfied generations that makes happy citizens.
