The unconditional positive regard (UPR): unreachable ideal or feasible practice

Iván Török

I offer the following topics of unconditional positive regard, which I believe would be interesting and worthwhile to discuss together: 

For 1 or 2 hours as a therapist the UPR is possible but continuously in a long-lasting         relationship it’s difficult or impossible! 
Willingness and ability to the UPR
Difficulties of the UPR: 
             - different system of values
             - difference in opinions
             - difference in socialization
             - unacceptable acts
             - disgusting actions
             - aggression
             - harms, injuries

             - antipathy (spontaneous)
             - conflict in interests

             - difference in tastes

Recognizing the UPR’s sense  

The separation of the person’s center (core) and his or her attributes

Practices for separation, improvement training

Accepting the center while refusing the attributes

The reflection of the accepting acts (asking for feedback, self-reflection)
Separating also in the self-acceptance
UPR’s supports
