Document Summary
Chapter 2: the counsellor as a person and as a professional. Compassion and dedication to serving others are hallmarks of being able to make a difference. Be aware of motivations and recognize how you yourself cope, may not work for your clients: must avoid working to be appreciated by others instead of working towards best interests of clients. Asking for feedback on your strengths/weaknesses can help you see your troubled areas. Helps them understand how they relate to one another. Counsellors understand what feelings are being evoked in them, and move forward in this way: personal therapy during training. Students more likely to seek personal therapy when faculty member convey supportive attitudes about student participation in therapy. Trainees seeking therapy look for con dentiality issues, general attitudes & importance of personal therapy. Trainees sometimes become aware they take a professional role that they once played in the family.
