I can only help you out with the unconditional positive regard. I believe that you are actively working toward congruence. Self concept needs a bit of work from time to time though. Hugs.
I had to look him up: "For psychotherapy to be successful, Rogers suggested, it was imperative for the therapist to provide unconditional positive regard to the client. This means that the therapist accepts the client as they are and allows them to express both positive and negative feelings without judgment or reproach." The therapists' challenge seems to be setting aside their human tendency to be judgmental. I hope the fries and sugary soda were mood boosters!
I looked---no wonder you needed chips. [ and possibly a stiff gin and tonic or two]. Premise one seems to be each Individual is the center of their perceived universe: no wonder the world is filled with narcissists! btw at first read I thought the "Rogers'' person was children's TV star Mr Rogers. And you'd explored a tedious childhood memory of watching the show.
Karl, Carl, Schmarl... it's all pseudoscientific nonsense, like the utterings of Freud the proven Fraud. What a mess psychosocial thinking is in, with the majority of research papers recently shown to be false... Trust your judgement, not all that pseudo-academic nonsense.
Does that mean, “Love the sinner, but not the sin.” It would take a lot of chips to cope with some of our patients and their relatives. Some of the staff were a challenge too.
I’m assuming you’re referring to the psychologist? (Carl Rogers, not the chips.) I was very confused when we were in London in November. Suddenly, we had our choice of chips or French fries! And someone has decided they’re different!
wishing you a bit of air and lightness, hope it's a better day
