“Maybe I should at least wait, to help you, until it’s clear that you want to be helped.  Carl Rogers, the famous humanistic psychologist, believed it was impossible to start a therapeutic relationship if the person seeking help did not want to improve.  Rogers believed it was impossible to convince someone to change for the better.  The desire to improve was, instead, the precondition for progress.  I’ve had court-mandated psychotherapy clients.  They did not want my help.  They were forced to seek it.  It did not work.  It was a travesty.” ~ Jordan Peterson, via 12 Rules for Life (Page 81)
