Content: Being congruent is to be in touch with your innermost experiences and thoughts and to genuinely be honest about them, to yourself as well as the client. It requires the therapist to stay connected at all times, during the counseling process with the client and the impending space. It is, to share a consistent thought or feeling. This feeling could be coming up now and then, which could be disrupting the flow of thought process, in the counseling session and the therapist finds it difficult to stay connected with the client at the given moment. The therapist has to have a congruent and centered relationship with themselves first, and for the same reason, there is a high emphasis on the personal development of the therapist.

Once you’ve reflected upon your understanding, try putting it into practice and see how it works for you. Side Note:
