The key points of this discussion include:
The fully functioning person is someone who is better able to navigate the peaks and troughs of life.
The way life comes at this person won't change - but as a fully functioning person they are able to view things as a part of life, not as something personally directed against them.
According to Carl Rogers, a fully functioning person’s emotions are less easily swayed - they can remain okay within a storm.
A client who is less fully functioning may project negativity into the therapy room.
Alternatively, a client who is more fully functioning may look through a frame of gratitude. This could indicate that they are nearing the end of their time with you.
A more fully functioning person will have an increased openness to experience - a motivation to gain experiences and try new things.
They will be better able to relinquish control of things and go with the flow; they will have trust in their own judgement.
Becoming a fully functioning person is a process and a way of being - it’s about how you approach and take responsibility of life.
