"When I am at my best, as a group
facilitator or a therapist, I discover another characteristic. I find
that when I am closest to my inner, intuitive self, when I am somehow
in touch with the unknown in me, when perhaps I am in a slightly altered
state
|
 |
of consciousness in the relationship,
then whatever I do seems to be full of healing. Then simply my presence
is releasing and helpful. There is nothing I can do to force this experience,
but when I can relax and be close to the
|
 |
transcendental core of me, then
I may behave in strange and impulsive ways in the relationship, ways which
I cannot justify rationally, which have nothing to do with my thought
processes. But these strange behaviors turn out to be right, in
|
|
some odd way. At those moments it seems that my inner spirit has reached out and touched the inner spirit of the other. Our relationship transcends itself and becomes a part of something larger. Profound growth and healing energy are present." -Carl Rogers
