Counselling/ counselling ideas may help to cope with the challenges of ‘change’ ‘The more I am willing to be myself in all this complexity of life […] the more I am willing to understand and accept the realities in myself and in the other person […]” Rogers (1961). In order to tackle changes in a client’s life, it is important for the counsellor themselves to be self-aware and have an understanding of others’ values, beliefs and attitudes although they may conflict with their own. The counsellor is there to help the client adapt to these changes, helping clients to push out old information and take in new- this however is also an aspect of change which the counsellor has to help the client pursue whilst keeping ethical and professional boundaries. Changes are accompanied by strong emotions, both negative and positive and counselling is able to support the transition from one state to another. When looking at coping with change it is not possible to ignore some of the events which change our development, life events which cause significant change are called transitions (Jeffery, J in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S 2004).
Using modality is one way we have to personalise screeds although it is beneficial to use all the senses when trying to create a safe and comfortable space for a client. Modalities play a big part in personalising inductions as assessing the client as an individual helps decide which style will best suit that person. As you begin the process of learning how to hypnotise, you’ll begin to understand that there are two basic styles of hypnotic induction, and these are the Permissive style and the Authoritative style. The permissive style is the more usual style in therapeutic situations where the client needs to feel like they are in control of the situation before they can begin to relax. Attending a hypnosis session for the first time can be a scary thing because of all the mythology that a person probably has about hypnosis.
Building rapport To be the best you can be you need to discover the magic of rapport. The principles and techniques of rapport hold the key to good communication. It is based on the idea that we like to communicate with people who we perceive to be like us. This is because we will only be influenced by people who we think like us as a person. It works best when feelings are authentic – that is you genuinely care about other people and have their interests at heart.
This shows that in order to overcome dissonance, parties involve must have a high level of tolerance and understanding. Another theory that can be highly associated with this movie is Social Penetration Theory. It states that in an interpersonal relationship it vastly evolves in some gradual and predictable fashion. It is believed that self- disclosure is the primary way that superficial relationships progress to intimate relationships. Self- disclosure is more towards sharing personal beliefs and thoughts or even past events that may help in strengthening a relationship.
1.1 Communication is a way of giving and receiving of information between people whether this is by verbal and non verbal means. Effective communication is a two way process, ensuring that the correct message is sent, received, and also understood by the other parties. People communicate for many different reasons: to express feelings and needs; to help to build relationships; to socialise; to ask questions; to receive information and instruction; to share knowledge; to share opinions. 1.2 Communication is a vital part of being able to develop a relationship with a resident. Communication needs to clear and person centred as this will help build and maintain a healthy and balanced relationship between support worker and resident, without this basic skill the relationship will be severely hindered from the start.
McLeod also suggests that counselling skills can be used in a range of self help groups such as sliming groups or Alcohics Anonymous or in life coaching – although this focuses on the promotion of positive effectiveness or achievement. Users of counselling skills often have dual responsibilities both to the recipient of their skills and the organisation that they are operating within. (Stokes in Aldridge and Rigby). This can be a cause of conflict. Counsellors can avoid this conflict by starting the counselling relationship with a contract that ensures confidentiality and helps create a safe environment that supports a client by setting down guidelines for a working/ professional relationship that includes boundaries, conduct, timekeeping.
The thought of marriage, represents two people, truly in love, who have committed to share their lives together. However there are motivations other than love that leads us to marriage. The purpose of this essay is to attain a better understanding of the Erik Erikson psychosocial theory of development and John Bowlby's attachment theory in application to my present life. This essay explores the bond my husband and I share and how being a securely attached couple contributes to our current marital happiness, focusing on four important abilities essential for intimacy; having the ability to seek out care, be able to give care, have the capability of feeling comfortable with an independent self and having the capacity to negotiate. (Busch & Hofer, 2012).
Personalised inductions come in many forms and these vary depending on what works best for your client. As stated in Hypnosis for Change it is however vital that the induction brings about the complete relaxation of body and mind. A personalised induction is effective because every person is an individual in their personality, values, beliefs, inner feelings and outlook on life, therefore our induction should cater to our client’s personal needs in order to make the client feel comfortable within an environment of choice and a feeling of safety. One of the ways that we can ascertain the best way to talk to our clients is to establish our client’s modalities. When referring to modalities we are actually talking about our primary senses such as sight, hearing, feeling, smell and taste and are often classed as secondary senses.

The Authors Kress & Hoffman offers an extensive approach for the treatment goals of the sexual abuse survivors thought a theoretical perspective to help the victims of the abuse to integrate their abuse experience while keeping in their self-esteem as well as how we as therapists can help the survivors to connect with their personal strengths which can facilitate in their growth and development. I have observed through this journal about a treatment goal which integrates the survivors experience & preserving their self-esteem, which will be a most effective way in boosting up their confidence and change of their self-image. The reason I feel the authors have pin-pointed and wanted to work on the self-image of the survivors was because of the wrong perspectives which they develop about themselves after being victimized. For example: They start to believe that they are defective, damaged or flawed and blame themselves for the abuse. The author’s approach to the survivors of abuse by administering Solution-Focused Erickson as a group therapy was a very clever move.
