Person Centred (Slow) Living

Many of my readers will know of
Person Centred (Rogerian) Therapy,
devised by psychologist Carl Rogers.
There the therapy is directed by the client,
and the role of the therapist is to follow
where the client leads to help the latter
rediscover how right they were,
through the therapist's listening ear.

There is a role for the therapists voice,
but it is mostly in the silence that the client
gets to understand afresh how to live.

But away from the therapy room,
the change I want to see in society
is technology assisting us day in day out
to live slowly and use as much of our time
as helping humans find trust in each other
whilst completing daily tasks slowly,

Enable technology and money to help people meet
more easily and effectively to complete their business,
rather than making isolation the more effective path.
