Mock Session Reactions Reviewing and going over my mock session proved once again to be beneficial. Overall I found that the session went well, I do believe that my client has more trust in my and my rapport with her has grown. During the session, I noticed that I did not move much from the position that I was in and I had my hands folded within each other the entire time and I kept eye contact with the client for the majority of the session. I also noted that my tone of voice was very singular, I did not fluctuate my voice during the mock session. I kept a calming tone as I spoke with the client. I noticed that during this mock session now that I know my client a bit better, I took my time before asking questions. I knew that the client’s …show more content…
Looking at the video of the mock session I noticed that I use them a lot because it’s a great way to get information from the client and learn more about what brought her to counseling. One of the weaknesses that I noticed that everyone, including myself, agreed upon is my moving into the insight stage. I agree with this especially after reviewing the mock session, I did not use insight techniques much during the session even though I feel that there were times that I could have. I noticed that in general moving into insight is something that I need to work on getting better and becoming more comfortable with utilizing during the …show more content…
I am becoming better at open-ended questions. I noticed that I would ask more close-ended questions while doing intakes instead of having a conversation with the clients and now I am much better at shifting away from closed-ended questions. I noticed that in the initial intervention I only asked one closed-ended question and none in the alternative statements. I also noticed that I am better at having more of a conversation-based intake with clients at my practicum site, just by rewording the question that I want to ask and I am able to get more information out of

    Session 5 Reflection Paper

    Session five was a big stepping stone for me, I believe I asked questions that guided her and properly validated her feelings, not to mention my powerful use of silence during the whole session. This reflection will shift gears from how I originally lay out my reflections. I usually express the goals I said I would work on and then share the progress I made during the succeeding session. However, I shared my uncertainty about where to take our session after the last one. I believe this doubt helped session five unfold the way it did.…

    Mid Reflection This mid-reflection was based on the first six interviews during the data collection. The purpose of the mid-reflection was to compare the researcher’ pre-reflection and understand of the African-American farmer's experience with UF/IFAS Extension with deeper actual knowledge of the data (Wilcke, 2002). From this point, the researcher identified the new understanding of the lived experiences with African-American farmers with UF/IFAS Extension.

    Alex's Client Feedback Case Study

    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.…

    Individual Reflection Paper

    Learning can be interpreted in many ways to different individuals, although to me learning is about gaining knowledge and embracing every experience encountered and linking it to any task. Also I would explain that being open minded is a strong attribute to apply during the learning process. During my week one I stated that learning is to open and broaden an individual’s mind on subjects to gain knowledge or skills, and I’ve grown to realize its more than that. People can learn using different methods and be more responsive to one rather than the other. I am a Strong-Willed learner.…

    Therapist Reflection

    Thus far, I have learned many important aspects of becoming an effective therapist. One of the major parts of training involves evaluation and feedback from supervisors or peers. I think evaluations are an important part of training because it provides feedback to areas, which you are doing well in, and areas in which you will need improvement. I believe that without evaluations, we as therapist cannot grow into effective therapist. To date I cannot think of any job or career that does not use “end of the year evaluations”.…

    Do you know what you will be doing five years down the road? For me, it is hard to imagine myself as a therapist though I do share an interest in helping people.

    Teaching Session Reflection

    When I delivered the teaching session, the experience was an overall success with students showing a clear interest and engaging in the lesson (Table 1, question 10, mean 4.3). The teaching began with a clear introduction to the key learning points for the whole session (Table 1, question 5, mean 4.3), which allowed the students to understand what the session was going to entail. This was beneficial to those who needed to see the big picture to see how topics fit together[1]. I further explained that the session will be split into three sections and explained that certain learning outcomes will be covered in each section. Student feedback stated that there was “enthusiastic teaching in appropriate sized teaching bites.”…

    Reflective Listening Essay

    It is in this session that I helped the client to focus on the wider issues around the problem. This I achieved through challenging the client positively by asking him if he thought whether the situation would still have ended the same way it was if he did things differently. I also inquired whether he thought there were reasons that made the individual behave the way she did. These questions also allowed my client to express his emotions regarding the situation which would be helpful for him since he would be able to release the tension he had concerning the situations. This was through talking about the thoughts and the feelings he had stored in his mind.…

    Introduction To Counseling Reflection

    Going into this class I didn’t know what to expect. With it being called “Introduction To Counseling” I generally assumed that’s what it would be. I didn’t put that much thought into what we were going to learn about, but believe me; I am delighted I was given the opportunity to take this course. From professional ethics, attending behaviors, observation, encouraging, confrontation, and reflecting, I was given the chance to learn these skills that will help me in my professional life. Throughout this course I gained knowledge every week that was built up on top of each other that will give me the skill to perform at a higher professional level when I am faced with difficulties and challenges that come my way.…

    The act of exploring itself promotes the active listening element of counselling. As a practitioner, if you listen well you can paraphrase appropriately when feeding back information given by the client. Consequently, this will help in conveyance of an empathic understanding which aids in the relationship building process. Emphasis is, again, heavily weighted on the importance of this relationship where exploration is one of the 'core components both for effective challenging and for assessing goals'. The exploration process also highlights the idea of working together to come to a shared understanding of the clients needs.…

For the first time I was able to put everything I had learned into practice. My practicum was one of the best learning experiences I have experienced as a student.
