Congruence

Choosing congruence means choosing to be ourselves, to relate to and contact others, and to connect with people directly. -- Virginia Satir

Congruence is both a state of being and a way of communicating, and is the core concept upon which the Satir Growth Model is based. Congruence depends on your ability to be aware of and fully value the many dimensions of your self, others, and the contexts in which you work and relate.

Congruence promotes high self esteem and system esteem. Both of these are manifested in the quality of our health, relationships, performance and contexts.
