If they choose hypnosis then it is down to the therapist to give the client their very best care no matter what the problem is. This is why first impressions are important. The way a therapist present themselves and communicates with their client on the first meeting
I am going to explore the core conditions that Carl Rogers uses in his theory of person centred counselling. There are three core conditions: congruence, empathic understanding and unconditional positive regard. These conditions are what Carl Rogers believed are the skills a counsellor needs in order to be able to support the client in their process of healing themselves. I am then going to use my own experiences to discuss why I feel that only using the person technique, for certain clients, may not be sufficient to make the progress they require on an emotional level. On the other hand I am going to discuss how learning the person centred approach has affected my personal and work life in a positive way.
It can help determine whether the client feels comfortable discussing and disclosing information with the therapist. You can also assess whether or not you can work with the client and especially if they feel they can work with the therapist and also whether hypnotherapy is suitable for the client. An ethical therapist needs to take make sure there is no sexual attraction, if this is the case the therapy should not continue. Obviously in the initial consultation you can determine the nature of the clients problem, this then depends on how many sessions the client will need, for example a one off quit smoking session may differ to another problem which may need 3-6 sessions or more. Therapists ‘work solely with neuroses and not psychoses’ (chrysalis mod2 p22) ethical therapists should cover this when assessing a client in an initial consultation and will discuss with the client what medical and mental health issues
The qualities and skills that they showed to me our qualities that describe a professional counselor. They can be summarized as patience, because counselors need patience when interacting with clients during sessions. Clients need their time to deal and express their situation or feelings whether they may be negative or positive. I personally know that sometimes it doesn’t matter what you say or how you say something what really matters is the meaning behind it or it can be just need to say something out loud so you can hear it. Empathetic and compassionate because you have to believe in what you’re doing and the client has to know you care and understand their issues or
A counsellor should be fully competent and understand the principles of counselling and its ethical framework, as it deals with some very sensitive issues. The clients progress depends on the therapist professionalism as the impact of being unprofessional could have catastrophic results. i.e. a client could commit suicide and you could be held responsible and possibly face liability. Clients may never return to counselling again if left traumatised by an unprofessional.
Throughout this method of counseling, the service user begins to accept themselves for who they are and begin the gain a sense of worthiness. This approach can also help others to gain empathy – this incorporates listening skills, to accept someone else for who they are and to be able to comprehend with their emotions. Empathy involves putting aside any pre-judgment. (Health and Social Care, Book
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.
Second the therapist must convey unconditional positive regard for the client, this means that the therapist accepts everything the client say without passing judgment on the client. Clients trust that the therapist will not reject them if they say the wrong thing or if something critical comes out in the course of therapy. The atmosphere is safe for clients to begin exploring their distress. The third condition for the therapeutic progress is empathic understating. The client must feel that the therapist understands him or her.
The approach focuses on maladaptive behaviors (addictive behaviors) by changing what it perceives to be the root cause of them (faulty thinking). The goal of the therapist is to encourage the clients to focus on their thoughts and actions. Advocates of this theory contend that only by modifying self-defeating thoughts and behavior patterns will the client truly be able to solve his or her own problems. Thus, the aim of the therapy is to eliminate troubling emotions or behaviors rather than to help patients gain insight into the underlying cause of their problems (Ford-Martin, 1999). Cognitive-behavioral family therapy (CBFT) is the extension model of CBT, however, it also focuses on the members of a family, considering them to be parts of a cohesive unit, and looking at such factors as interfamilial relationships, communication patterns, and other familial dynamics (Frey, 1999).
