In Episode 4 of Season 2, we ask why relationships matter so profoundly to mental wellbeing.
Dr. Warwick Phipps and Marizaan Koen explore Carl Rogers’ person-centred principles—congruence, empathy, and unconditional positive regard—and how these qualities support self-actualisation and emotional health. They connect Rogers’ ideas to more recent research, including Liesl van den Berg’s 2008 study, which showed how the quality of our relationships directly shapes our mental wellbeing.
This episode highlights how meaningful, authentic relationships foster growth, while unhelpful or unfulfilling ones contribute to distress.
