Rogers
Map
A tool to help you and your client understand what is really going on
A map of the inner world
Rooted in Carl Rogers' person-centred approach, this map gives a structured language to what is happening beneath the surface for a client. It traces the path from a triggering event all the way down to the core missing experience — the felt sense that was never fully available.
Rogers believed that people move toward growth when they feel genuinely understood. This map helps you — and them — arrive at that understanding.
Coaches & therapists
Use during or after a session to organise what you are hearing. The map is a shared language, not a diagnosis. It helps locate the client's experience within a coherent, compassionate framework.
Protection makes sense
Every difficult pattern a client presents is a strategy — it once served a purpose. The Rogers Map helps you honour that without being limited by it.
Guidance for the session
1 · Create a new client tab using the ＋ New Client button above. Each client has their own independent, private space.
2 · Work through the steps in order during or after your session. There is no right or wrong — follow what is alive in the conversation.
3 · In Step 0, use the Shiro Emotion Map to identify what is present. Click a sensation card to expand it, then tick the specific feelings that resonate. Multiple selections are welcome.
4 · In Steps 1–4, tick everything that resonates and use the free text to capture the client's own words.
5 · The Session Summary at the bottom assembles everything automatically. Download it as a text file to keep a record.
