                             Advantages of client-centered approach therapy
       Therapies play a critical role in enhancing the entire recovery process and ensuring that
an individual can regain their normal mental stability status. Self-centered therapies have been
discovered to be the most effective therapies that help in recovery and ensure that an individual
recovers within the shortest time possible. The emphasis on using self-centered therapy is based
on the great use of empathy to the person being taken through therapy (Luterman, 2021). The
therapist ensures that they can assume the person's position and understand the challenges the
individual is going through. Demonstrating empathy empowers the therapist to apply the
situation and develop a story or tale that helps make the individual realize that such situations are
part of life and other individuals have gone through the same situations and emerged
victoriously. Additionally, the empathy part of the therapy empowers the therapy to emphasize
centrality. Centrality empowers a better way of understanding the challenges and developing
long-term solutions from the current situations (Luterman, 2021). The establishment of the
solution is based on active listening, which ensures that each part of the challenging situation that
is causing psychological instability is established. Moreover, the process of ensuring that the
therapy is self-centered is very instrumental in fostering respect and understanding on other
occurrences that are likely to occur in the future. Active listening shapes the character of the
client to develop some receptive personality.
       Self-awareness and self-esteem are powerful tools in ensuring that the client can develop
some self-guidance during the therapy. Clients who develop self-guidance can achieve recovery
within the shortest time possible and can also be instrumental in society to cause change and
ensure that they live a life that other people emulate (Luterman, 2021). However, the clients have
to demonstrate their readiness to be genuine and have skills of active listening. Being genuine
                                                                                                   3
helps the therapist establish the root cause of the problem and how the problem can be solved.
The client and the therapist should demonstrate active listening to ensure that the process is
based on mutual understanding of the situation to uphold genuineness and realistic solutions
(Luterman, 2021). Additionally, the genuineness of the client and the therapist empowers the
client to agitate for change and embrace all the ideas aimed at resolving the issue. The changes
are made possible and practical by using behavioral analysis of the clients and guidance on the
way to conduct themselves.
