This type of relationship builds trust and encourages open communication. It removes the pressure to perform or meet specific expectations.

Unconditional positive regard is a way of showing care without conditions. A person is valued simply for existing. There are no goals or expectations attached to the relationship. This creates a safe and accepting environment.
