Relationships are something we form and nurture. We can build trust (so we can open up), understanding, and acceptance with others. In such relationships, change or transformation becomes possible.
According to Rogers, there were certain conditions for change (how we can affect other self in change-process):
1) Can I be real in the relationship? Genuineness, congruence, & transparency (being real).
2) Do I find myself liking the other person? 'Unconditional positive regard' or caring or acceptance.
3) Understanding inner world of other person; seeing thru her/his eyes; what it's like to be her/him.
He'll explain what happens when conditions are 'met' in the video.

Carl Rogers: Conditions of Change
When interacting with others in an empathic, accepting, understanding, and genuine way, others may experience positive emotions. There is research to show that positive emotions have very positive benefits for us.

So creating this shared space with other self based on understanding & acceptance may lead to unfolding of positive emotions and positive experience - that's a step in the change/transformation process (a step meaning there are more things that happen).
