Feelings After the Sessions
After my session, I felt good. I did not feel as self-critical as I did in the first micro session. I was pleased that I felt there was still a good connection and that I had been able to use some more skills without detracting from the relationship. I was pleased that I managed to handle the room change without blanking on everything else. After receiving feedback and having a chance to review my session, I see new areas of growth that spawned from the old areas of growth. I’m happy to know that I did manage to grow from the first session. I didn’t dwell on my session like I did the first time. Instead of watching others and comparing myself to theirs, I watched for opportunities where I could apply or skill or how they applied their skills and how I could incorporate that into my evolving skillset. I feel much more confident after this session. If I had a third session with Anahi or a first session with a new client I wouldn’t have many reservations about using and improving my skills because this entire experience allowed me to push myself and confront myself.

I felt I had improved from the first session and part of the improvement was due to receiving feedback from my peers and supervisor. Last time I started by giving my thoughts and let the group build off that. I decided this time I would hear their thoughts on my session so I could hear more unbiased feedback that would potentially be different than what I experienced. I found it interesting that most of the verbal feedback from my peers was positive and constructive criticism, but the written feedback forms were expressed more honestly. Hearing their feedback allowed me to process some of my decisions and receive different viewpoints to some of the situations. I think this time my feedback was more meaningful to me because I couldn’t setup what I saw first, I got to experience how I was
