Person-Centered Therapy Skills Workbook: Listening, Reflecting, and Sustaining the Core Conditions

Person-centered therapy skills are built through deliberate practice. This hands-on workbook walks through listening, reflecting, and sustaining the core conditions with structured exercises and case-based examples. By the end of this course you will have a structured set of skills templates including reflective listening exercises, congruence self-reflection prompts, transcript analysis frameworks, and case-based examples. What you will learn: - How to deepen empathic listening through reflection and clarification - How to express unconditional positive regard in sustained ways - How to monitor and respond to your own internal experience in support of congruence - How to handle silence, ambivalence, and emotional intensity without redirecting prematurely - How to work with the felt sense and present-moment awareness in session - How to analyze session transcripts for the presence or absence of the core conditions - How to set appropriate frames for therapy without compromising non-directiveness The course is structured as a workbook. Each module covers one skill area, provides templates, walks through a filled example, and guides you to complete your own version with practice transcripts. This course is written for mental health clinicians and trainees building humanistic skills. It does not replace supervised clinical training or licensure requirements. By the end you will have a structured personal toolkit for practicing the core skills of person-centered therapy.
