The client's face and speech both display signs of stress and
anxiety. Dr. Grande is demonstrating fundamental empathy and
listening skills, especially while the client discusses such a
delicate subject. This is crucial in every approach and session, but
it's more important in existential therapy because clients will be
discussing highly delicate subjects like a near-death experience.
In this example, Dr. Grande utilized a lot of paraphrasing and
reflection to help the client reach his "EPIPHANY" moment, where
he finally understood the need of taking breaks from work to
spend time with loved ones.

kaya dito na papasok ang concepts ng: real self vs ideal self
Scenario:
- real self: magaling ka mag-drawing kaya ang puso mo ay nasa pag
architect
- ideal self: gusto ng parents mo magdoctor ka.
ngayon, kahit maging successful doctor ka, pero wala yung interest mo
dun, malulungkot ka:( therefore, mayroong tinatawag na
"incongruency" dahil hindi nagtutugma ang ideal self sa real self
The Person-Centered method is applied in this role-play just as Rogers
intended. The client was able to develop his own insights and solutions
thanks to the counselor's use of reflections. He did not need the
counselor to push him in a particular direction because he was able to
reason through the situation on his own. In addition to helping the
client feel more in control of his circumstances, the counselor did not
carry any directives with him. I really appreciate this method because it
puts the client in command, which I believe is how the client should be.
The client already knows what needs to happen; they just need the
counselor's open space and encouragement to move forward.
