It helps to keep one’s mind fresh and with new ideas on how to deal with issues which I face during my sessions with a client. Self-awareness develops over a period of time and with experience. With time one can learn strategies to help in the development of self awareness so that personal thoughts and experiences does not affect this. Knowledge that is gained through personal experience can sometimes be a barrier when working but if one is personally aware of this, it helps to remove any barrier. It also question one’s own personal values, awareness and beliefs.
I reflected this back and explained to the speaker I felt they were perhaps anxious and agitated about the topic being discussed. The speaker was not aware that they were expressing any from of body language and agreed with the feelings suggested. This reflection then enabled us to carry on and explore these feelings further. “Stereotyping and prejudice are natural human behaviours” (COSCA HANDOUT). In order to protect the speaker and the counsellor throughout the helping process, ensuring justice, fairness and non-discriminatory practice to both parties, a code of ethical framework is followed.
HSC3029 1.1 If an individuals communication needs are not met it could affect all parts of their daily life. As a care assistant the ability to communicate well with a individual is the basic requirement of my job. By meeting the individuals communication needs it can help to break barriers and make the individual feel wanted and included. When an individual is upset it can make communication difficult, by being aware of how the individual best communicates it can help me diffuse an upsetting situation as quickly as possible. All individuals have the right to communicate through their chosen method and their choice should be acknowledged and respected when supporting them.
PAD 515 Week 3 Discussion Carver is missing some very basic values and attitudes. He is missing being considerate, respectful, fair, cooperativeness. The changes that Carver needs to make are numerous. The changes will be difficult for him to sustain, as they are not his “style”, but change can be achieved, as with anything, if he works on his values and attitudes. It will more than likely take his subordinates and co-workers even longer to trust that he has changed and that he will adhere to his new found values and attitudes.
The basic communication principle I apply to my personal life experience is knowing my audience and communicating a little at a time. I believe by knowing and interacting with a person before I just say what’s on my mind.I believe by knowing the person’s attitude and belief will help me be better prepared to answer questions they might want to ask me whenever we strike up a conversation. I also feel the results these results are a accurate description of my personality and communication style. I am a introverted person and I see this plays a factor when I talk to strangers. Yet, I do know how important and how good it can feel to connect with someone new.
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). If these transitions are not prepared for, they can cause emotional difficulties or even physical illness. Counselling skills can be very effective at this stage as the helper needs to work out how to make the adjustment to these changes more satisfactory for the client, to lower the emotional distress. The counsellor has to first establish what kind of transition the client may be going through; Scholssberg (1989) in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S (2004) identified 4 different kinds of transitions: Anticipated, Unanticipated, Non-event transitions and chronic hassle transitions. Unanticipated transitions are unplanned and can be projected as a crisis; this was personally experienced when my parents got divorced.
Because I believe that even though you help a member of the family the rest of the family are still in a mindset that can eventually be damaging to the person. And it’s a team, group, family that can help a person or destroy a person. A work setting for a counselor can vary from mental health facilities, social service offices, community facilities, to nonprofit offices and private clinics, or offices. But eventually I would like to work for or have my own private office. So I can have a more controlled
Additionally, developing self-awareness helps the client to rediscover meaning in life. Some clients will, however, need a more structured therapy than is typical in a humanistic person-centered approach. One of the strengths of using a humanistic/person-centered approach when working with clients is the warmth and caring of the relationship that (hopefully) develops between counsellor and client. The counsellors active listening and full emotional availability will provide them with a healing environment within which they can explore their emotional experiences safely and without judgment. Central to the therapist's role in client-centred therapy is respecting the clients values as well as maintaining a therapeutic nonjudgmental attitude.
The career will have to be observant, an active listener, promoting communication, be able to ask questions/open/closed/lead, give advice, body contact, guidance and also give encourage to the client. By doing this, the career would have created an impact therefore making the client to build trust and confident on him/her. 1.3 Analyze features of the environment that may help or hinder communication. Lighting: a room without sufficient light can hinder communication for people with visual disability. Light sufficient: light sufficient environment helps in communicating with disable people such as hearing impaired person, this would allow them to see and understand what the career is trying to communicate across to the client and in a case of sign demonstration it will help to create visibility for the client.
You have to do more listening than talking. Which is basically meaning that even though the client has to sit and listen to you it is better to sit and listen to the client so that you can hear what they have to say. By asking questions and receiving questions it can make the relationship between client and therapist more valuable. Clients have been subjected to abuse, neglect or other forms of violence or maltreatment this is why you have to earn their trust, confidence and respect (Haden, 2003). We have to understand that there is a boundary when dealing with clients that have situations in there lives.
