Humanistic therapy is also known as non-directive, client-centred, and person-centred. Plants have an innate tendency to grow as long as their environment allows it. Humanistic approach believes humans are like plants in this way humans will self-actualize if they are given the proper support and warmth. Prizing/positive regard refers to love, warmth, and acceptance from people around us. Primary goal is to foster self-actualization and to resume the natural growth process toward psychological wellness whenever it has been hindered. Although not explicitly stated, kids are keenly aware of the conditions that their parents place on love.
