Quotes.... because I like them so much.Carl Jung - “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction both are transformed.”“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” Carl Rogers - “The basic purpose of a therapeutic relationship is to provide a climate in which the client may move from a state of incongruence toward greater levels of congruence.”“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, ‘Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it’s like to be me.’”Sigmond Freud - “Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.”
