· Based on your feedback from Tape 1 are you where you thought you were?
Yes, I know I have a long way to go before I become an effective counselor, but I think I am doing okay.
What are some things you would like to continue to work on?
I I have to learn to allow the client time to think and answer in their own time. I know how important this is, but I still feel the urge to rush them to finish a thought or to begin speaking.
How will you make sure you continue to improve?
First I will make a conscious effort to slow down, and be clear and concise in what I say and how I say it. I will ask/say what I need to say and then stop talking. I will read forums on how others have solved this issue and talk to more experienced counselors for tips.
How will you know once you have improved?
I I think the only real way to measure improvement on this is if it "feels like" I have improved I really don't think there is a test that can measure it.
What can we do in class to help with your goals?
I I'm not sure there is anything the class can do to improve this situation. I think the only cure is time itself and lots of practice. I think once I have talked to several clients, the situation will resolve itself.
