"according to carl rogers, decreasing discrepancies between the and the can lead to more positive perceptions of self and less worry about what others want, and can increase positive experiences in the world."

   Ideal and Real

Explanation:  According to one of the most influential American psychologists, Carl Rogers, people develop over time both aspects, ideal self and real self. His psychotherapy was known for being client-centred, that is, psychotherapy aimed at developing a personality through actualisation, that is, we show tendency to actualise the formation, improvement and shaping of our own personality. This is achieved precisely by reducing the difference, i.e the deviation of the ideal self and the real self. This means that reducing this difference contributes to our acceptance to advance our personality through the continuous improvement of our awareness that we constantly need to transform.

In fact, the ideal self and the real self should be as close as possible, bringing them closer to each other with the help of daily actions, which means fulfilling and implementing into reality our own potentials. By acting daily, we turn our ideas from the ideal self into real self through the necessary experiences, and we gain experience through our daily actions and work on our personality.
