Which aspect does congruence in NLP NOT typically involve?

Congruence in NLP refers to the state of alignment among an individual's beliefs, values, behaviors, emotions, and their overall communication. When someone is congruent, their external expressions (what they say and how they behave) match their internal states (what they feel or believe).

The aspect that does not typically involve congruence is the rejection of personal values. Congruence implies embracing one's values and allowing them to guide behavior and communication authentically. When personal values are rejected, there is a disconnection that leads to incongruence; such a situation can cause internal conflict, dissatisfaction, and a lack of clarity in communication.

In contrast, alignment of beliefs, consistency in emotional regulation, and authenticity in personal expression are all crucial elements of congruence, as they reinforce a person’s ability to communicate and interact in a genuine manner, making these aspects integral to the concept.
