    that's the essence of counselling. Listening, reflecting and helping the client say their thoughts so that they can hear them and also feel lighter by letting any negatives thoughts out.

    I think that this should be more informal
    The more we treat it as a transformative process for the client with the counselor just being a catalyst. I feel the legal jargon in the beginning could have been conveyed in a more informal way . But overall great learning. This is what i feel. Would love to get some reactions. Cheers

    discussed the confidentiality leting the client know that their interest is

    informed consent the social worker talked about his agency
    and the session time half an hour
    he didnt intorducce himself at the begging but did after
    proper distance
    assuring confdientiality and mentioned exepctions to break it
    talked about supervision and clearly explained the procces of not identifying the client identity
    the sw asking her how she feels and parphrasing and showing understanding by nodding
    it sounds like summarizing
    1. Write two closed ended and two open ended questions asked by counsellor
    2. How did the counsellor show intentionality to the client?
    3. What was the opening statement of the counsellor?
    4. What was the issue faced by the client?
    breaking up with her partner that lasted 25 years
    and stopped communication with each other
    the client dont have plans for her personal llife and feels stuck
    5. How did the counsellor end this interview?
    summerzing what they had talked about
    mentioned reflecting method
    arranging and discussied what she can expect from next sessions

    What is the difference between "counselling", and "therapy", and "psychotherapy",.... and is this "confidentiality" create any "risk" to the "client's" "civil rights", or any "legal status"?...
    What does "counselling" typically "cost"?... What are the "goals" of "counselling"?... What does "counselling" actually achieve?... How "practical", or "effective" is "counselling" in achieving it's "goals ("success rate"?).... What various alternatives are there in learning about, and implementing the "necessary goals" or "counselling"... = Can these sought "goals" be achieved thru "self-study" (reading text books about the process of "counselling"?.... What are some excellent reference books, that can be recommended, on the subject of "counselling"?.. (="self-help books")?!...
    How does a client determine if they are really getting their intended "value" out of the counselling sessions/dialogues?.... What is a typical "dollar/cost benefit" to counselling?!... Does a typical client get some sort of "evaluation"/grade/certificate/diploma, or other "credentialed status" for completing certain types of counselling? What kinds of "counselling" sub-categories" are there?.... [ As a comparison; (analogue):.... if someone (curious "client"), were to go to a creditable "resource center" (....= a reputable "counselling" center), and was intent on learning about "history", (actually "counselling"), .... Where would be the best place to begin digging into this nebulous subject?.... Is this like going tru some sort of "driver's training",.... or getting accredited i some particular "specialty" .... ?.... Like becoming an "insurance agent"?....

    • @msadm1225
      @msadm1225 4 года назад

      Clients don't get a certificate for "completing" therapy- when they have successfully worked through the issue that brought them to therapy or no more progress is being made (among other reasons), the working relationship can be ended. (Either party can end the working relationship at any time unless the client is receiving services nonvoluntarily.) There are a multitude of ways to become a therapist, but all of them require a graduate degree and state licensure to practice as a therapist. You cannot practice legally without them. You also cannot ask a therapist to "teach you how to do therapy" because 1) it's extremely difficult- borderline impossible- to give yourself therapy (if people could do it themselves, they wouldn't pay to go to a professional...) and 2) a therapist's job is counseling, not teaching. Some self-help books may be helpful, but many of them are not. However, there are a multitude of resources online that could be useful for self-help purposes; one that I like is psychologytoday.com. Articles are written by professionals and based on the most up-to-date knowledge in the field and they also have a resource to find psychiatrists and therapists near you. The rest of your questions can be answered by Google; I tried my best to answer what I could, but I'm still not sure whether you want to start therapy or start the process to become a therapist.

    Really appreciate your video. It gives me a good platform for my role plays as a student. My hardest part by far is not laughing 😂. Do you have any tips for that?

      Grant Knott think about-a sad incident in your life. Maybe passing away of a loved one in the family year’s ago. It works for me.

    This is good BUT that intro seemed too long, detailed and unnecessary (supervision, ethics).
    The "um, um, um" is real but distracting.
    It's not her problem though - it's MY issue. I like to listen to people who articulate themselves fluidly..... Meaning, very few erm & ums. I need to reflect on the reason(s) why that's important to me..
    There are very good pauses! He allows her to speak, think and reflect before he speaks or asks another question.

      i prefer to hear it from the counsellor as it helps build trust and the dynamic of the relationship whilst the counsellor can read the body language and listen to any concerns that a help seeker may have about any of those guidelines. I.e someone may be more apprehensive about talking about problems they have with their children due to fear of thinking that the counsellor may notify social services for any real or imagined neglect from their part
