Personal Autonomy is defined as, “Self-directing freedom and especially moral independence. An ethical principle holds that the autonomy of persons ought to be respected.” (find-health-articles: 2009)
Personal Autonomy refers to independence, self-sufficiency and self-determination. This all coming down to the decisions you make and actions you take on how to live your life and who you are and become. It is important that a person is who they want to be, that they stand up and express what they belief in, how they feel and share their opinions. Being all this and more makes you the individual standing out in a crowd. No one wants to be ordinary, everyone strives to be extraordinary and this is your place to start shining, with the world as your stage.
“If you believe that emotional and psychological problems come about because of disturbance to the person's autonomy, that is disturbances to their ability to be Self Determining, then clearly healing which does not respect a person's autonomy is not healing at all. It is more to do with control, and when we respect a person's autonomy the individual themselves must be allowed to be in charge of their own life. Help then, which leads to healing must have as its basic premise, respect for the autonomy of the person. (creative-personal-growth: 2009)
