Central to the therapist's role in client-centred therapy is respecting the clients values as well as maintaining a therapeutic nonjudgmental attitude. This relationship can be even be more important, especially if the client doesn't have any family or friends. Because most clients seems to have lost a sense of value within themselves, having someone perceive them as a valuable person, capable of personal growth, should have an encouraging affect. The goals of the client-centered therapist are congruence, unconditional
Authors Brian Taber and Todd Leibert found during the course of their study that any sort of congruence between the therapist and the client is clearly associated with the bond that the two parties make at a very early stage in the therapeutic stages. The two were also quick to point out that this same congruence leads to a certain feel of validation by the clients toward their therapists. An important thing to keep in mind is that the study included individuals (both client and therapist) who were primarily social type personalities. As with any relationship, the closeness in personality will lend itself to more of an easy transition into trust and/or
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.
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.
Free association is where the client will be given a list of words such as ‘mum’, and then the first word that comes into their mind will be said. It enables psychologists to understand possible reasons why they may engage in challenging behaviour as they are witnessing their suppressed feelings. Dream analysis also helps psychologist’s reasons to understand this behaviour as dreams, they show unconscious symbols. Free association and dream analysis can once again be used through co8unciling although there has to be a large amount of trust between the individual and the practitioner. The psychological approach links to social care.
I would say that some of these characteristics that I carry include: a curious and sharp mind, empathy, perceptiveness, humility, and self-reflection. Counselors must be curious about what makes people, groups, and systems do what they do and I am definitely curious about all of that. This trait is important both for learning more about others, as well as doing therapy and staying abreast of the ever evolving, new treatments, that are being created in the psychology field. A Counselor's primary task is to listen to others with empathy, and I enjoy doing just that! I believe that listening to others and being able to put yourself in their shoes in order to understand what they might be feeling is very critical.
The theoretical orientation that is a foundation for this writer is the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. This writer will discuss Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy as her primary approach in terms of techniques, goals, therapist/client relationships and concepts. Other concepts, such as Carl Roger’s Person Centered Therapy will be blended into this writer’s orientation. This writer recognizes client’s are more likely to cooperate with therapy interventions if they feel they are in control of their direction of treatment and the therapist is genuinely interesting in their
This will include my belief that each person deserves to have a careful assessment or initial consultation from therapist to client and after careful consideration of the clients needs and preferences that the most appropriate screed would be used to benefit the client. . I will also discuss two very different hypnotherapists namely Dave Elman and Milton H Erickson. Lastly I will discuss hypnosis and mental health, and the tools that are often used in Hypnotherapy for assessment of a client, and to score an individual, which aids the hypnotherapist in the decision as to which style of screed to use in their clients therapy. Returning to the essay title, analizing the question as
‘Compare and contrast the different ways the person-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches to counselling understand and make use of the counselling relationship’ This essay will compare and contrast two of the many approaches to counselling available today. Firstly, we will briefly consider what counselling is and the relationship between therapist and client. We will then go on to consider the similarities and differences between the person-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches. We will see how these two methods are used within the counselling relationship and consider their aims and objectives. In conclusion we will see why it could be argued that the latter approach is the most useful for many clients.
