Carl Rogers, a psychologist who has written extensively on counseling relationship, said that there must be a some basic qualities that are essential to the helper if he/she wants to be helpful to people. These qualities can be grouped under following :

  • Awareness of self and values
  • Trust
  • Warmth and caring
  • Acceptance
  • Empathy
  • Knowledge

Whenever we are with another person, whether for the first time, or with an old friend, we engage in the process of learning more about one another. It may be a very superficial knowledge, such as the other person’s physical apperance, or it may be a very deep and involved knowledge, such as an intimate friend.

But we usually try to hid ourselves, our “REL” selves, behind a mask. And we assume that the other person is also hiding behind his mask. We hope that the other person responds to our mask, and we try to respond to theirs. Or do we not try to uncover the other person’s true self while protecting our own? The result is that we remain a mystery to one another.

On the other hand, with an intimate friend, we may have learned to drop our masks, although  it was probably a slow painful process of which we have no awareness. That other person now defined as a friend, is less mystery, less threat.

Assuming that real relationship are better than phony ones, and assuming that only through disclosing our selves can authentic relationships develop, what’s the hang-up? Why do we feel edgy with another person? or avoid it all together? Why does it take us so long to “Loosen up” and be ourselves, if we ever do? are there some short-cuts to really knowing another person?

What we fear from self disclosure :

  1. Loss of respect : Moral judgement on the part of others.
  2. Rejection:  The other person will no longer like us
  3. Destruction: the other person will cripple or destroy us with our self information
  4. Insight: we may find out unacceptable things about ourselves.


What we find out from self-disclosure :

  1. How similar, and how different we are to other people in our thoughts, feelings, hopes and fears.
  2. What the other person’s needs are, and how we can meet or frustrate them
  3. How we stand in relation to others.

What we get from self -concealment:

  1. Anxious! About ourselves and others
  2. Guilty! About ourselves and our failure to take advantages of learning about ourselves and others.
  3. Angry! About ourselves and others.
  4. Depressed! about ourselves and the way others misperceived us.

What we get from self-disclosure:

  1. Self-knowledge
  2. Knowledge about others.
  3. Love and ability to love others.
  4. Feelings of stability

The key of self-disclosure is, of course, trust, Trust that self-disclosure will result in positive growth within. Trust that other person is a man of goodwill, and trust that the end result will be greater freedom to be oneself.

The basis for any life insurance plan generally is age, assets or health. Most people insure income for their loved ones in case any ill befalls them and they are left high and dry. Sometimes people with a lot of assets also choose to insure their property, to keep it safe and financially sound before they pass it on to their heirs or family members. Sometimes people want to ensure that their spouse or significant other is financially independent. In both these cases family life insurance is the way to go.

The things to look out for when investing in any insurance plan are cost, coverage and the benefits. If you choose to invest in a term insurance policy, bear in mind that benefits will be received only if the death occurs during the term. On the other hand it is quite affordable. Whole life insurance, the most trusted policy, has a set premium for the time period of the policy. The disadvantage, however, is that the rates offered are high during the early stages of the policy and low during the latter stages, keeping in mind the risk factor. There is also the Universal life insurance policy which is a culmination of the advantages of both term and whole life insurance policies. One can vary the amounts paid in the form of premiums from year to year and also borrow money from the cash reserves that pile up.

For the more conservative of the lot, there is the permanent life insurance. The premiums are higher, but it can worth it if you choose to invest the dividends which are tax free. The Variable life insurance plan is a kind of investment plan, the returns of which depend on the market trends regarding your stocks and shares. If you choose this kind of family life insurance, the returns are also expected to be higher.

If paying premiums regularly is not your thing, you could opt for the Single Premium family life insurance policy, which is a one time investment. It is a great idea if you wish to gift it to someone. There is also the Survivor ship family life insurance, in which two people are insured together and the benefits are given out only after the demise of both the policy holders. This might be a good idea for parents to insure the financial stability of their children, even in case anything should happen to them.

Save your family a lot of heartache and sleep better at night knowing that your loved ones are secure by investing in a quality Family life insurance policy.
