Person-centered therapy identifies that each person has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change (self-actualization) rather than viewing people as inherently flawed. Rogers believe that individuals have within themselves resources for self-understanding and altering their self-concepts, attitudes, and behavior; and these resources can be tapped via non-judgmental therapeutic relationships.

Over the course of time and experiences, our mind creates different parts or ways coping. Some are helpful, others were at one time but are no longer helping us work toward our goals.
