what we try to work every day
♥♥♥
The most important aspect is the relationship between the worker and the client.
♥♥♥
A relationship that facilitates growth...
♥♥♥
The experience of acceptance, understanding, listening and congruence is very important to the client.
♥♥♥
In every person there is a capacity for growth and a tendency to move forward to maturity...this capacity may not be visible at first, but it is always present...in a psychologically appropriate environment it is released and moves from a state of possibility to a state of reality.
♥♥♥
Constructive personal growth comes whenever we adopt an attitude of openness, acceptance of the other person, and view the other's world through their eyes. That's when I become my client's companion...
♥♥♥
The human personality possesses an important need for self-actualization (or self-actualization). People tend towards the realization of their own individual potential of emotions, abilities, values and competences according to their own givens and according to the possibilities of the environment in which they live.
♥♥♥
To be open to what is going on in me and to what is going on in the other person.
♥♥♥
We can trust our experience.
♥♥♥
The facts are friendly.
♥♥♥
People are evolving in a positive direction.
♥♥♥
Life at its best is a continuous changing process in which nothing is fixed.
♥♥♥
Accepting every changing aspect of the other person creates warmth, cordiality and security in the relationship. Safety, being accepted and valued as a person, is an extremely important element in a helping relationship.
♥♥♥
Constructive personal growth comes whenever we adopt an attitude of openness, acceptance of the other person, and see the other's world through their eyes. That's when I become my client's companion...
♥♥♥
In a relationship where there is openness, acceptance and empathy in a person there is a constructive change in the other person's personality.
♥♥♥
If I can create a relationship that is characterized on my part by: genuineness and transparency in which I am what I truly feel, a warm acceptance and appreciation of the other person as a unique human being, a sensitive ability to see their world and themselves as they see it - then the other person in the relationship has created the best conditions for personal growth.
♥♥♥
The client cannot grow or change in ways that I cannot accept.
♥♥♥
The alpha and omega of social work is as much about the client's level of self-knowledge as it is about the social worker's level of self-knowledge.
