We find it easier to love ourselves and other people when we cultivate two surprising attitudes: Unconditional Positive Regard and Unconditional Compassionate Disregard. What are these attitudes and how do they help? Kate explains.
Carl Rogers and Alfred Adler, two giants in the field of modern psychotherapy offer two different tools that when combined create a powerful recipe for healthy and loving relationships: unconditional positive regard and allocation of tasks.
In this episode, Kate discusses what each of these tools are and how to practice them.
She offers, in addition, the concept of unconditional compassionate disregard, which acts as an antidote to the modern, co-dependent notion of romantic and family love.
