This is so wholesome and beautiful. It is my 3rd year as a mental health professional and this conversation reminds me why I chose this path in the first place
"I'm not holding out on you" ... Gosh... this whole session is filled with such incredible honesty and vulnerability. There is grief, and there is beauty. I am so incredibly grateful to these two for their openness.
Interesting though, he says that he couldn't say to his ex wife and in laws that he was hurt, but he is allowing this to be filmed, at the time did he know it would be broadcast I wonder, or was it just filmed as an educational film. I was watching this and feeling that who he was talking to was his wife and in laws, he hadn't been able to tell them in person about his hurt and anger, but I part of him really wanted to communicate that to them, and to assert to them that he was a person. He felt that they were racist and dehumanized him and didn't even believe that he could be hurt or have all these feelings, he is asserting his humanity.
WOW In like 10 mins and barely saying three lines, the client's already making self realizations and connecting emotions and behaviors' that's mad. I'm actually stumped. Envyyyy
There is a part of me that wishes around the 45:49 minute mark, that Dr. Rogers would acknowledge how dangerous it is for a black man to acknowledge and express his anger and hurt. I feel like Dr. Rogers could do with explicitly broaching the topic of race in this interview series, because it feels to me it is being danced around.
That's his whole MO though: not to introduce anything other than what the client is bringing in. Sometimes I wonder if there are limitations in strictly doing Rogerian style (such as the one you're pointing out) as opposed to a more integrative approach.
Carl Rogers what a beautiful soul.
Truly

I was going to say, imagine being a black person and going to a white therapist, that must be extremely difficult. 🙏🏼.
