Proposition Definitions

"The group of statements that, together, create a person-cantered view of personality and behaviour," according to the 19 propositions.

emotions

Individuals (organisms) live in a dynamic realm of experience (phenomenal field) in which they are at the centre. Based on my own continually changing experiences, I make meaning of myself, others, and my world. The organism responds to the field based on how it is perceived and experienced. For the person, this perceptual area is "reality." My view of ‘reality' is distinct, shaped by (1) what I encounter; and (2) how I process and comprehend that encounter – my ‘story/ies.' The organism reacts to this phenomenal field as a unified whole. My entire being/doing is based on my own unique perception of ‘reality.' The ego is gradually distinguished from the rest of the overall perceptual world. My feeling of self is a part of my ‘reality.'

They depict how: Consciousness is felt from the first-person perspective. Behaviour is a result of self-assurance. For psychological change to occur, a secure emotional environment is required.

Values. Own and adopted from others

The structure of the self is formed as a result of interaction with the environment, particularly evaluation interaction with others – an organized, fluid but consistent conceptual pattern of perceptions of characteristics and relationships of the "I" or "me," as well as values associated with these concepts. My sense of self is formed by my experiences and perceptions, particularly by comparing myself to others and by other people's thoughts and judgments (as I perceive them). My sense of self – who and what am I? who am I in a relationship? – is ephemeral, yet it is comprised of consistent perceptions. Those perceptions have a value for me.

Dealing with experiences at conscious and unconscious

The organism has only one primary desire: to actualize, sustain, and improve the experiencing organism. I have a natural desire to look after myself, to heal, and to progress. This entails attempting to (1) keep myself safe/sound, and (2) reach my inner potential — to become the best version of

myself. The internal frame of reference of the individual is the finest vantage point for interpreting conduct. Only by understanding how I see myself, others, and the world can you fully comprehend my actions. Behaviour is essentially the organism's goaldirected endeavour to meet its demands as they are encountered in the field. I act in the ways I do to meet my own needs, as I experience and perceive them, and as I experience and perceive ‘reality.' Emotion accompanies, and in general aids, goal-directed activity, with the type of emotion being related to the behaviour’s perceived importance for the organism's maintenance and enhancement. In my actions, I am emotionally present. My emotions are a part of how I try to satisfy my perceived requirements. What I feel and how strongly I feel is determined by the importance of the need to me. The values attached to experiences and the values that are a part of the self-structure are values that are directly experienced by the organism in some cases, and values that are introjected or taken over from others in other cases, but perceived in a distorted manner, as if they had been directly experienced. The values I assign to my experiences, as well as how I value myself, are a mix of direct and indirect experiences, as well as values adopted or absorbed from others. Some of ‘my' values may be derived from others, which I am not aware of. Individual experiences are either a) symbolized, perceived, and organized into some relation to the self, b) ignored because there is no perceived relationship to the self-structure, c) denied symbolization or given distorted symbolization because the experience is inconsistent with the selfstructure, or d) denied symbolization or given distorted symbolization because the experience is inconsistent with the selfstructure. I can meet my experiences in a variety of ways: (a) make personal sense of their meanings and integrate them into my view of myself and the world (so that my view shifts and changes with my experience); (b) ignore them because they

do not fit in with how I see myself or the world; (c) treat them as if they have no meaning or reshape ('re-stoke') my view of myself and the world. Under certain circumstances, such as the absence of any primary danger to the selfstructure, experiences that are incompatible with it can be noticed and examined, and the self-structure can be altered to assimilate and accommodate such experiences. When a person perceives and accepts all of his sensory and visceral experiences into a single, consistent, and integrated system. Then he is required to be more understanding of others and to accept them as distinct individuals. As the individual recognizes and integrates more of his organic experiences into his selfdestructive self, he discovers that he is replacing his current value system - which is based so heavily on introjection and has been distortedly symbolized - with a continuous organismic valuing process....
