Humanistic therapy acknowledges unconscious forces and

as a source of personal difficulties

and encourages individuals to explore and understand these unconscious factors in order to gain insight and make positive changes in their lives. This approach believes that individuals have the capacity for self-awareness and self-actualization, and the therapist's role is to facilitate this process of self-discovery and growth. By exploring and resolving unresolved emotions, conflicts, and traumas, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, leading to personal growth and improvement in their overall well-being.
