Counseling is an emotionally engaging activity. Therapists may acquire detachment tools for not becoming personally involved in the patient’s issues. Appropriate relaxation techniques like for example mediation will help me to detach from customer cases. Self-awareness and consciousness about own limitations may be a base to keep stability. A high level of self-awareness provides insight into customer thoughts and feelings and will support customers to evolve in the same direction. I am a person who is happy to test on myself any protocol or techniques. In the counseling field, I will actively review all new approaches & self-development is the most appropriate way to improve own workshop.
I need you to tell me how your counselling practice has been enhanced through personal development
There is a one-to-one correspondence between my personal development & counseling skills practice. All that I do work with and for is associated with communication skills improvement. This statement is perfectly confirmed by Hazel Johns (1996) Personal Development in Counsellor. My counseling practice evolve and was influenced even by completing this course. Before I had a chance to get credit from this course I done successfully two additional courses. It gives me a right to state that progress in both of those disciplines lingers with perfect harmony.
Description evaluation and reflection to interaction from Counsellor perspective.
Some background information about me:
In general, I am person deeply interested with other people. This interest help me to swap my reality and become other person without waring their shoes. I am naturally gifted with empathy. I enjoy the process pretty well, when I was younger I thought that every single person have skills like this. Later in live I found that it is not true. Most of people even if they have any sensitivity prefer to be in their comfort zone.
Situation describe here is occurrence with my friend and not with customer:
We met at university. Our relationship progressed as we moved with more and more lectures. One day I figure out that I spend with her on the phone almost two hours each day. Each time when she called I answered. So she start questioning what am I doing for live. I do not like an answer on this question thus, many people have believe that to have money they must to work hard. I do not like to reveal what I do to live.
She figure out that my live style is temptation to her. First off all was my friend intention to do something with her live. She was not happy to hold a job where her usually activities include carry of product and put it on shop’s shelfs. On the beginning I offered her solution but she do not like to consider it. When the time clicking away she discovered that I do not have normal job but I manage with my live pretty well. The subject of 3hours day work came back as boomerang. Especially that she had a proof that I do not work hard. And form this place we can start typical counselling story.
Counselling:
One day she asked me what to do to get better job and earn more money. I told her that I can help her to get any position she ever dreamed about but she will have some lessons to do and it will take about 8 hours of training to equip her in appropriate skills and mindset. Both we agree that after lectures I will spend with her 2 hours to show how proceed interview conversation. We can say that we have spoken counselling agreement according to her goals. After first session it become obvious that reaching point of her high conversational proficiency is out off range of previously mentioned 8hours. She agree that she work additional 2 hours per day in order to fasten process. In this place we can say that our spoken counselling agreement was amended. I love to reach my goals so my proposition was to provide her more homework to suit in 8hours of previously agreed session.
First session 120 minutes:
- We identify limiting believes.
- We figure out that it is not clear about long term goals.
- We define clear career goals. Those goals were miserable.
