Personal quote:

“When a person is hurting, confused, anxious, alienated, frightened; or when they doubt their self-worth or feel uncertain about their identity, they need understanding. The gentle companionship and sensitive presence of an empathic person… bring light and healing. In such moments, I believe that deep understanding is the most precious gift one person can offer another.”
— Carl Rogers
