Unconditional Positive Regard

Today's episode is about something I've learned from my social worker friends: unconditional positive regard. As my friend and colleague Allison Bengfort writes, "It's an intentional, emotional posture that the best therapists extend to their clients...assum[ing ]the best in the client. It assumes that the client is inherently good, worthy, and worthwhile. It is able to separate misguided choices and challenging behaviors from who the person is deep down." We explore this posture in our lives and how we might cultivate it further. Feedback? I'd love to hear from you at [email protected]. Thanks for listening, friends. You are loved and never alone!
