Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rogers divided the self into two categories; ideal and real self. The ideal self is the person you would like to be and the real self is what you really are. In the real world, a person’s ideal self is not consistent with what happens in life with a person.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carl Rogers and the Self-Concept Theory of Personality Rogers believed that our personality is driven by our desire for self-actualization. This is the condition that emerges when we reach our full potential and our self-concept, self-worth, and ideal self all overlap (Journal Psyche, n.d.).

Detailed explanation-3: -Carl Rogers described self-actualization the continuous lifelong process whereby an individual’s self-concept is maintained and enhanced via reflection and the reinterpretation of various experiences which enable the individual to recover, change and develop (Rogers, 1951).

Detailed explanation-4: -Carl Rogers’ theory is that there needs to be congruence between the real self and the ideal self. Rogers believed self-actualization was something every individual was seeking. Self-actualization is when an individual achieves their full potential.
