Recommended: Features of person centred therapy

During the recording of my third transcription, I felt more comfortable , I had already build a relationship with my client at this point. I was able to remember information from the previous session and notice facial expressions and tone of voice when she talks about certain topics.
This time she had concerns about not being able to spend much time with her son, as she will like. In other hand she as her son complaining about mom no being home as much and how she explain the situation to her son. and him being able to understand . She also describe how her son is able to understand their believes due to and how is is able to costume to their life style, and no being judgmental to others ways of living. She also talked about her new job how supported she feels from her co-worker. This time around was different from the pass two sessions. she tends to concentrated a lot about her and surgery and struggles and achievements, this time was about her but in a different way. this time her main topic was her son, how proud she is of her son and how her believes are part of their day to day life.
During this third session I felt that it helped that it was a continuation of the treatment and I knew the client already. I was able to no interrupt while she was talking, Like I did the first session. . I was able to keep eye contact, My facial expression I was described that I was hard to read, but she was able to feel comfortable. and she felt that I was present in the moment. I did asked open ended questions and I think that is part of my personality. I feel like in order to get to know a person so many questions need to be asked which is not the Person Center modal. I was able to also paraphrase and not give my opinion about th...

...ing about their story the client will bring emotions and it will be easier for the therapist to understand better were the client comes from. The client felt comfortable and reported feeling safe in the environment, the observer reported that made many open questions. But I gave the Client the opportunity to continue to continue talking about her when I asked. Is there’s anything else you want to talk about? At the times that were she had more to say.
In terms of how Person Center my session was, I think that I have made improvement. is an approach that I still more practice on. I also feel that you work with someone who will be your client practicing the approach is better, due to you I will not have an observer and I will feel more comfortable being my self. its hard to not ask questions, I’m very curious and asking questions is how I can manage my curiosity.

    Although, this session ended with amazing results, I feel as though I need more practice with this type of therapy. I have to continue to practice on allowing the patient to come up with their own solutions. I found it hard not giving advice to my client, because I already knew the situation. However, in the end I found myself very proud, because even though this was not a real therapy session, but the client was able to find a real solution to her problem. This experience is one that teaches the therapist restraint, it allows one to step back and listen. It also gives the client the opportunity to reach a solution themselves without someone giving them the answer to their

The tone of her voice remained constant throughout the session: calm, even, compassionate. Although I believe the session was a successful one, it struck me that the client’s may have been holding back based on their closed body language. Sue may have been able to get them to open up more if the session were conducted in a private office. Comprehensively, I believe this was an informative session and I enjoyed watching the video and learning different interview techniques.

    They argue that therapists should consider their own motivation to self-disclose and set boundaries. The therapists should never put their own needs above the client. They make sure to point out that self discourse alone cannot affect the outcome of treatment. Self-disclosure is effective only if it is used appropriately and only if it is used when it is necessary. The amount of information disclosed and when it is disclosed is also important. Therapists should draw a clear line with the amount of intimacy to include in their therapeutic disclosure to ensure that no inappropriate boundaries are crossed. The authors suggest two rules of thumb to follow when disclosing information which include: (a) “Why do I want to say what I am about to say” and (b) “What will be the likely impact of the client” (p. 567).

    For clients who express their experiences for the first time in counseling, it can be a powerful force to help them heal. It is important for the counselor to pay close attention to the person’s body language, affect and tone. The counselor must consider the possible scenarios that may occur in the first session. Cultural aspects of the client must be considered. From the client’s perspective, the first session is an important session, even if the first session is mostly an information gathering session. The client may have experiences much trauma in their life, never being able to trust a person with their closest feelings. This is why it is very important to establish rapport and trust in...

    Although the experience was nerve-racking, I believe that I did a very good job. I was able to collect the majority of the information that she was telling me while asking follow up questions. However, it was more to balance than I had expected. It was difficult asking questions and attempting to record enough information to complete my assignment. As the conversation continued, I got interested in her life stories and professional examples and noticed I had stopped taking notes. I also felt the need to make constant eye contact to show I was alert and aware of what she was saying, which brought challenges to my note taking. This interview process made me feel excited for the future. It was an intriguing opportunity to know that one day I will be able to positively impact lives the way Fultz does. To improve my interview skills, I would ask if I could record the conversation. This will allow me to interact more with the health professional while also consuming a maximum amount of information. I wish I had thought about recording this conversation prior to the interview, because Fultz spoke beautifully about her passion as a social worker, and I wish I was able to directly quote her in this

    I tried to have an open posture and to maintain eye contact as these approaches show the client that you are listening and are engaged in the conversation. I implemented silence listening and gave the client the time needed to respond. In the feedback, Jenessa mentioned that I seemed genuinely interested in what she was saying and that she appreciated having the time to elaborate on a question. Looking back at the video, I feel as if my body posture could have been better. Since we were sitting on a couch, it was hard to have that direct contact position. Also, I found that holding the clipboard was hindering my involvement as I kept glancing down at it. Moreover, I was using empathetic statement in the interview, such as "to clarify..." and "that must be difficult for you". Not only did this allow the client to add any more information if they pleased, but it also gave her comfort. In the interview, Jenessa mentioned that she was afraid of relapsing and that her hard work would be for nothing. In response, I validated her concerns by saying that they were

  • The Importance Of Engagement In Social Work

    Reflective listening gives the client a sense of importance due to them currently having the floor and a moment to express themselves. Reflective listening is orchestrated through acts of showing empathy towards understanding the perspective of one’s feelings. Through this method, the listener does not offer their opinion or perspective while the client speaks. Adding eye contact can also be beneficial or uncomfortable due to client’s background. For example, one’s culture can believe that is it disrespectful not to make eye contact while another may not participate in that activity. During completing the initial assessment with Gwinda, the social work intern participated by allowing her to discuss the need for services. Gwinda further discussed how she is unsure of how the treatments will go and expressed how fearful she was to undergo these different changes. With uncertainty lingering, the social work intern sat next to Gwinda’s bedside ensuring during that moment the client had a listening

While interacting with both professionals in the field and individuals within the program, I became more aware of what is put into the care of the “incapacitated.” Originally my thoughts coming into the program were very little, although I knew this program would be a great insight into a field that I am immensely interested in. Throughout the program I remained open minded about what laid ahead. Having little experience in this area I was worried about how to conduct myself during the visits.

  • Reflections on Counseling Sessions

    2225 Words  | 5 Pages

    The counseling session began with the introductions where I introduced myself as the counselor and later introduced my client. This stage is important in any counseling session since it is the time of exploration and focusing according to Gerard Egan as quoted by Wright (1998) in his essay on couselling skills. It is in this session that I was able to establish rapport and trust with my client in order to come up with a working and fruitful relationship with him. During this stage I made use of skills like questioning, where I would pose a question directly to my client, sometimes I would choose to just listen to what the client wanted to speak out while in some instances I would be forced to paraphrase the question if I felt the client did not understand the question I had asked previously. There were also other times when I would reflect through silence. During such a period, I got time to study the client and the information he had given. This being a difficult area, since some clients may not be able to volunteer information to you as the counselor, I decided to assure the client of confidentiality of any information he was willing to share with me with a few exceptions which I also told him about. Being open to him about the only times the information may not be confidential was part of my building rapport and establishing trust with him. I therefore, decided to ask the client what information he wanted to share with me and lucky enough he was ready to speak to me about different issues that he was going through.

    I tried to be very friendly and approachable for each client, so they can see me as likable. I tried to focus on their reason for therapy; however, a few times they wanted to talk about subjects of their choice. One of the patients wanted to talk about her dog. Twice I tried to deviate from that subject, but the dog was continually brought back up. I figured that I should let her guide what we talked about since I was the visitor to her therapy. After we spoke about that topic, I had built a good rapport, and she told me some personal things about her life. This enforced the aspect that therapy should be client centered as it allows patients to trust the practitioner. I know that I need to improve on identify client strengths and weaknesses before seeing the them. This topic improved every week as I had learned more kinesiology each week. I know that when I was learning about the shoulder when school, I never saw any shoulder patients. At the end, I saw two and the information that I had remembered from previously helped me ask relevant
