Empathy: The ability to understand the other person at a deep level. It involves being able to put yourself in the other person’s position, and understanding them in their own terms, having the ability to understand sensitively and accurately but not
It makes me feel good that people trust me enough to talk to me about any and everything. They know I would never judge them. I try to put myself in their shoes and help them to see both sides of the situation. I see myself as an honest people. People tend to say they lie because the truth hurts but really it is what it is “The Truth”.
In this particular situation Domhnall played down his family connections and the involvement they had, this seemed to do with the fact that he didn’t want to impose on them, It subsequently became clear that two of his sisters were quite concerned for his well being and wished to be kept in the loop. His sister Edel contacted the social work department and voiced her concerns for her brother’s discharge and wanted to ensure he was linked in with as many services as possible. It was through this connection that I came to realise the importance of using systems theory. Edel informed me of her brother’s history of suicidal ideation as well a history of gambling. This information gave me the opportunity to better comprehend Domhnall’s situation.
Even though her husband is a physician, she disagrees with his ideas when he says that she needs to be in the room. She believes that change and excitement will be good for her. Even though she disagrees with John she knows that he has her best interest in mind. “It is so hard to talk with John about my case, because he is so wise, and because he loves me so" (603).

Example A helper working with a man who openly admits to abusing his wife does not agree with his actions but is still employed to help with the feeling the client has surrounding the abuse. Client: I feel as if hitting her is the only way I can gain any power in our relationship. Helper: I understand your need for power but I can not say I agree with your methods. Can you think of what makes you feel powerless in your marriage? The helper encourages the client while still being congruent to him/herself.

I would use formal positive communication when communicating with social workers and other professionals, again this communication ensures the positive relationship building between all parties, ensuring confidentiality at all times. 1.3 Analyse the barriers and challenges to communication within
During this paper, I will also discuss how I fit into these generalizations. According to the textbook, while self-disclosure is important for building rapport with other people, it is also an important way in which you learn more about yourself. I think that self-disclosure is very important in any relationship because it makes my partner feel more confident that I will tell the truth without holding anything back. Even if you tell part of the truth, it is still a lie. I can personally relate to this because my husband would only tell me certain things, but the facts would surface later.
You probably find yourself asking over and over are you paying attention to me. Did you hear anything that I said?
