Personal Narrative: Counseling Session And Treatment Team Meeting

Improved Essays
Counselor travelled to the Home to meet with the Client for a scheduled counseling session and Treatment Team Meeting. Upon arrival the Client expressed that he was no longer interested in counseling services with the Oaks and that, “Everything is already. Mr. Odoh comes by to see me and I am at home. I plan to be at the next community service event, I am good. The only reason why I agreed to do counseling is because the court ordered me to, but I really don’t need it.” Counselor explained that counseling is a part of Oaks services; therefore, his participation is required. Steven stated that he would talk to his mother about the matter.
Counselor suggested again involving the Client’s father in the process if he and/or his mother were feeling overwhelmed and the Client asked that his father not be involved after agreeing to include his father previously.
The Client decided he could meet with me today for a session due to leaving for work, “I am backed up at work already.” However, he did agree to meet on Monday(s) at 4 PM, at the Home, “I will call you.”
Counselor plans to staff case with the Clinical Supervisor to discuss matters.

    Since I was first accepted into the graduate clinical mental health counseling program, I highly anticipated my first experience of actual counseling. I never expected the difficulties I would face upon my first encounter counseling a client. With my client unaware of the reason for being referred to me, asking “what brings you in here today?” turned out to be the wrong question to ask. The more appropriate way initiating a counseling relationship begins with introductions and obtaining background information from the client increasing the trust level between client and the counselor. During the session, I detected my “machine gun questions” meaning I never provided my client adequate time to respond before I asked another question; as a result,…

    My interests in counseling is fuel by hurts and pain of people I observed throughout my lifespan. From the time I could speak, I saw family members, being taunted, by traumatic event that occurred throughout their lifespan. As I watched the hurt and pain of others consume them, I watch them suppressed the pain, in a harmful matter. For the future suppressing the pain, like substance abuse became an unconscious systematic coping method for stressors. Furthermore, as years progressed the hurt and pain presented itself through violence, verbal, and physical abuse.…
