			"In place of the term 'realness' I have sometimes used the word “congruence.” By this I mean that when my experiencing of this moment is
			present in my awareness and when what is present in my awareness is present in my communication, then each of these three levels matches or is congruent. At such moments I am integrated or whole, I am completely in one piece. Most of the time, of course, I, like everyone else, exhibit some degree of incongruence. I have learned, however, that realness, or genuineness, or congruence—whatever term you wish to give it—is a fundamental basis for the best of communication.<ref>Rogers, Carl. ''A Way of Being''.
