Carl Rogers

Carl Rogers (1902–1987) was an influential American psychologist best known for founding humanistic psychology and developing client-centered therapy (also known as person-centered therapy). His work emphasized the inherent worth of the individual, the centrality of human experience, and the transformative power of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence in therapeutic settings.

Rogers challenged the dominant medical and psychoanalytic models of his time, advocating instead for a growth-oriented, non-pathologizing approach to human healing and development. He believed that people possess an innate drive toward growth, actualization, and psychological well-being, a view that aligns closely with the Lightning Path's core principle of authentic healing through needs satisfaction, truthfulness, and reconnection to higher consciousness.

Notes

Rogers’ therapeutic model emphasized:

• Congruence – Being real and transparent in all relationships, with self and with others.
• Connection - With Self and others.

Within the Avatar.Global context, Rogers can be considered a proto-spiritual scientist whose commitment to psychological healing, individual empowerment, and non-authoritarian therapeutic relationships helped clear space for a more authentic, connection-oriented spirituality to emerge in the 20th century. His work forms an important psychological foundation for the LP HEALING Framework, particularly in its emphasis on safe environments, truth-telling, and the satisfaction of core emotional and psychological needs.
