Show Notes

In Episode 12 of The Art of Therapy, Dr. Warwick Phipps and Marizaan Koen explore how understanding and expressing needs is central to mental wellbeing and therapeutic growth.

Building on Carl Rogers’ person-centred approach, they examine how self-concept and positive regard intersect with the way we communicate our needs — and why assertiveness is the bridge between awareness and connection.

This episode offers practical insight for therapists and psychologists who want to strengthen their observational skills and help clients build healthy patterns of self-expression.
