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
If the client would chose to talk with me during the massage about private things, I would support him and ensure that the conversation is confidential. 3. Client rights and responsibilities are as important as therapists right and responsibilities. These rules are very important because it gives the service provider the professionalism and boundaries between the client and himself. Before the service is provided the set of rules is placed before the client for him to read and sign after that I would ask him if he understood the rules.
Such ability is considered at the essence of all effective therapeutic relationships. Clearly if the therapist holds certain judgements for the client which for whatever reason cannot be put aside for the benefit of the client there is an immediate barrier to effective rapport building. At the very least the client may detect in some intangible way such a barrier and sense it as the therapists’ ‘dislike’ of them which would immediately hinder their susceptibility to relaxing and engaging honestly with the therapist. ‘If your belief system gets in the way of working with a particular client, then you must refer that client to someone else who would be comfortable with them’ Ericksonian Approaches A Comprehensive Manual Battino & South Crown House Publishing 1999. Building a positive regard with your client however, goes beyond your own personal beliefs.
In addition to the words we speak, our body language, tone and volume are far more important actions we use rather than words alone. We may not even realise how much our body works whilst we are speaking at times. It has been stated that in fact only 7% of our words are used in communication, tone and volume make up 38% and body language is 55% (II). In hypnosis, we do not have the ability to use our body language as our clients have their eyes closed so it is important that the correct wording is used to strengthen our messages and suggestions. To suit a client’s preferences and personality in a personalised induction we may have to adjust the words we use, the tone, the volume or our pace in order for the desired effects to be reinforced.
The main thing I have learned is to be confident. In being confident I have learned to speak clearly and most important stay calm. I know I must stand up for my rights and for what I believe is right. There are many different peer pressure situations I will find myself in and I will use these techniques I have learned to make my way through them. Some of the ways I can stay in charge in these situations are just to avoid the situation all together, have a group of friends that have the same beliefs about drug use as I do, make fun of the situation and give them reasons why I would never choose to do drugs and most important I think is to always say “NO”.
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. Therefor this style is nurturing and is about giving a person choice by using words that are caring. For example, you might say to a person “You may or may not begin to notice that you’re breathing is beginning to relax”, or “you could make yourself as comfortable as possible”. These simple sentences are offering the client choice and making them feel in control and they will not feel a threat and there might not be implications to the conscious mind of the
I also need to work on keeping some of my emotions to myself because they are very easy to see on my face when something is bothering me. I have a big heart and don’t like to see others hurt or etc. Being a Medical Assistant I’m sure can be very stressful at times and I think that’s to be expecting in this career choice, so that’s something that I’m going to have to learn to manage. I do well with stress but I’ve never been a Medical Assistant so I’m sure the stress could be different that what I’m used to dealing with. My mom always told me “Leave work at work, and leave home at home” don’t mix the two cause it can be way to stressful at times if you do.
In my job role always acting in the best interests of patients is essential, treating them with the respect and compassion that they need. Giving people their own independence and dignity is vital as this describes entirely the type of care I that I deliver. Neither respecting people’s wishes, cultures & beliefs not forcing them to do something they do not want or feel comfortable doing. Always having to be alert and observe my surrounding so I am in control of any situation that may escalate and become out of control. I also have to respond to any comments that are inappropriate or complaints in a calm and professional
I think there, precisely, lies our responsibility to use ourselves as effective facilitators and introduce certain concepts and interventions only when participants are ready for them. I think that a well attuned therapist who works collaboratively with participants will not introduce interventions prematurely at the risk of a potential serious setback for the therapeutic process. But this is why engaging, assessing and evaluating are ongoing transactional throughout the therapeutic alliance. I do, however, think CBT has limitations as does any other form of therapy. I think that working with participants who have severe mental illness might be a challenge.
To add to the clear vision, I really think that the vision not only needs to be clear, but common. If a majority of followers do not agree or feel that said plan is right for them, then either nothing will get done or change will happen and there will be widespread unrest. A good physical therapist establishes a clear and common vision with the patient by asking questions and figuring out short and long term goals for the patient’s rehabilitation. • “Sharing/communicating that vision so that others will follow willingly.” Being able to communicate with others, especially with those who are following you, is one of the most important facets of being a leader. If a leader can’t speak to their people and explain what it is that they want to happen or what they want to do to help the people, they really can’t be much of a leader.
