Carl Rogers, the individual who revolutionized counseling and education through his client-centered and student-centered approaches leads people to greater self understanding through the following principles. These never include shaming or berating. His belief is that each individual is the master of their own life and that only they have the complete resources to understand their own issues and how to resolve these.
The following are the core conditions required to create an environment where an individual can become more enlightened to what their problems are and how to resolve those issues.
For anyone who might see this as too gentle or naively kind, it is worth mentioning that Carl Rogers was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for using his philosophies in negotiations to resolve conflict in violent regions of the world.
Carl Rogers said:'It is that the individual has within himself or herself vast resources for self-understanding, for altering his or her self-concept, attitudes and self-directed behavior - and that these resources can be tapped if only a definable climate of facilitative psychological attitudes can be provided'.

The therapist is congruent with the client.
The therapist provides the client with unconditional positive regard.
The therapist shows empathetic understanding to the client.

wikipedia said:Some scholars believe there is a politics implicit in Rogers's approach to psychotherapy.[25][26] Toward the end of his life, Rogers came to that view himself.[27] The central tenet of a Rogerian, person-centered politics is that public life does not have to consist of an endless series of winner-take-all battles among sworn opponents; rather, it can and should consist of an ongoing dialogue among all parties. Such dialogue would be characterized by respect among the parties, authentic speaking by each party, and – ultimately – empathic understanding among all parties. Out of such understanding, mutually acceptable solutions would (or at least could) flow.[25][28]
During his last decade, Rogers facilitated or participated in a wide variety of dialogic activities among politicians, activists, and other social leaders, often outside the U.S.[28] In addition, he lent his support to several non-traditional U.S. political initiatives, including the "12-Hour Political Party" of the Association for Humanistic Psychology [29] and the founding of a "transformational" political organization, the New World Alliance.[30] By the 21st century, interest in dialogic approaches to political engagement and change had become widespread, especially among academics and activists.[31] Theorists of a specifically Rogerian, person-centered approach to politics as dialogue have made substantial contributions to that project.
