Describe some aspect/s of your learning about helping in a counselling way, and what this has taught you about yourself In this essay I will explore my learning about importance of active listening, role of empathy, impacts that transference and countertransference have in counselling, as well as the importance of supervision for counsellors. Through examples from my experiential learning in class, my reflection on the influence of a long forgotten experience from my teenager years on my adult life and journal entries, I will illustrate how this course has helped me in heightening my self-awareness and learning about myself.

First, he explains that we will experience emotional pain when we recognize that the work we would love to do might just be unavailable enough to make us doubt that we can proceed. Maisel states, “This is an emotional suffering that researchers haven’t examined: the pain of wanting to do certain intellectual work but not being capable of it.” He then goes on to discuss ways to help your brain to be its best. This can range from silencing the self-talk that can rob you of your confidence, to making fewer excuses about why you don’t have the time, patience, or ability to think. Secondly he points out that choosing the intellectual work that matches your native intelligence, or in other words, staying in your comfort zone. He tells us to find an area of work that isn’t too difficult which enables you to do work that makes use of all your strengths.
Therefore people may think what they're doing is right in their certain situation but in reality they are actually in the wrong. Also this conveys there is no convincing reason as to why people should be good as relativist thinker Mackie says there are no objective values rightness and wrongness do not exist in the world. alternatively this statement proposes that relativist have not defined what is right or wrong so therefore the relativist theory cannot provide a convincing reason as to why people should be good because they do not have a definition at all of what is right or wrong and they clearly recognise that there are different perspectives of what is right or wrong. No two people may agree on judgement, Sumner a cultural relativist suggests that ancestors have passed down traditions and they are just an experience of their culture. This conveys that there is no convincing reason as to why people should be good because if there cultural says they should do something that is morally wrong, for example killing someone to use them as a sacrifice then in their eyes they are not doing anything wrong they are just following their culture and it doesn't convince them to be good.
Ausubel (1978) states that learning is an internal purposive process concerned with thinking, perception, organisation and insight. The student can be encouraged to read more about hospital and unit policies. Andragogy is the act, science and professional teaching and training of adults. Due to the student learner’s active role in his own self direction and readiness to learn, andragogy was an appropriate model on which to base the learning and mentorship role. Therefore, the student was viewed as an adult learner.
Showing them this supports them in being able to self actualise (fulfil their potential). This theory can be criticised because it is not a very scientific theory (unlike Eysenck’s trait theory). Many of its ideas are vague and difficult to measure objectively because it is very difficult to study a unique individual and work out how they have self actualised, what their self concept and ideal self is. We cannot observe and measure these concepts. Further, the theory focuses on the human as a unique individual and so it is impossible to predict human behaviour.
