Aizere and Bakhyt create harmonious and respectful relationships where
everyone can open up and grow as individuals.
In Aisere's case, the humanistic approach to her relationships includes the following
aspects:
1)Aisere shows warmth, sensitivity and conscientiousness in her relationships, which
emphasizes the importance of a positive attitude towards herself, her partner and
others.

which helps them develop deeper and closer relationships.
3) Looking through self-actualisation for a successful relationship, Aizere must be
aware of her strengths and weaknesses.
4) She must be open and sincere in her relationship with her partner, creating the
conditions for a deep and sincere connection. The humanistic approach helps Aizera
develop a more emotionally rich, respectful and harmonious relationship with her
partner, taking into account his individuality and mutual understanding.
