Alex’s Client Feedback for Keni
Similar to last session I think it was generally a good session. Being in the client’s chair was still awkward for me, but less so than last time, I feel. Kenny also seemed more comfortable and confident in her role as helper, which made me feel good because I hate having people around me uncomfortable.
As I said in my last feedback, Keni has a ton of great potential in the helper role and now that she is feeling more confident in that role and we have met and chatted before I see that only growing. Kenny has taken the skills we have learned about in class and has made them her own, for example, she utilized smart goals to challenge me to plan ahead and envision success which was useful.
Keni also obviously put in a lot of energy into learning and implementing other helping skills like effective use of minimal encouragers and reflecting affect. These also helped me feel more at ease. I could see in her face that she was not only more comfortable but she did authentically care about what I was saying. …show more content…
For me I am more extroverted and feel better and more at ease when I am speaking with a person with energy that mimics my own. That is, similar the way I feel when I talk with Racheal we are on similar wavelengths and that helps me “shake off the dust” so to speak. I recognize that Keni and I are very different people and that it is probably difficult for her to jive with me in that sense. Just something to be conscious of.
In summary, the session was very positive. Keni was great at allowing me the freedom to open up and to talk, as I needed to. Keni is still very genuine and authentic and obviously cares very deeply about my experience. My challenges for Keni is to get some more practice at executing the skills we are talking about in class so that you can execute them more naturally. She is still an outstanding and inspiring person; I want to see that person in session
