"Your Mind Is Like A Parachute. It Only Works If It Is Open." - Anthony D'Angelo

On Saturday 11th October the counselling course began. I was feeling pretty nervous about everything-I haven’t done any learning since I was 18. I don’t have a lot of confidence starting up conversations with people I don’t know. Somehow I felt relaxed and conversations just started…Not sure if it was me starting them but it happened, so wasn’t too awkward.
The learning began and I was thrown totally out of my comfort zone. My anxiety went sky high-We had to pair up and listen to information about the person we were paired up with, that wasn’t the bit that scared me it was the relaying that info to the rest of the group and trusting my mind to remember all the info… It’s not that I’m not listening it’s just because I get so nervous I forget something vital, panic, anxiety and nerves is definitely something I need to overcome.
We had the parable of ‘The Good Samaritan’ read to us to help guide us into knowing how to be a model for helping.
So after this task we then listened to what the course will entail and require from us as students. A lot of the information went over my head but I did jot down notes where possible and tried really hard to take it all in. Some things that worried me the most was this (Learning review/journal) & the recorded skills assessment. Why? I don’t really know- I think it relates back to my nerves and anxiety issues, I over think & forget things. Also at this current time I don’t take criticism very well… to start with I can get defensive- it does take me time to digest which leads me to worrying about critiquing others.
The next interactive task was to explore our expectations. So our expectations of the course, the tutor, each other, confidentiality, access and boundaries. Then to agree a whole group contract.................................................. The rest is confidential to my learning please don't be offend that is not all here. Thought

    Counselling Level 2 Week 1

    We were given the CPCAB candidate guide and the course handbook, and discussed any areas that we were unsure of. All the questions were clearly answered and I like the way that on a weekly basis I will add to my portfolio by completing learning reviews. I know I learn well on a continual level and am pleased with how the course is laid out and how the set criteria is identified through clear learning outcomes. It was interesting setting out a group contract and seeing how everyone has similar needs to feel comfortable and safe, with a lot of emphasis being placed upon confidentiality. I am a keen believer in setting boundaries from the beginning of any situation so to avoid misunderstandings or difficulties, so this was reassuring to me. As the day progressed I learnt that two of the group members have connections to where a former partner works, so the confidentiality aspect was on my mind quite a bit, yet setting boundaries…

    TAQA Unit 301 Questions 1 to 15

    When making an assessment we need to pull on a number of skills to ensuring that the correct level of learning has been conducted by the trainer and that the learner has under stood the information given. The assessor has to be confident that the learner is also able to recall the information therefore giving them the skill set to conduct the role they are undertaking. The trained person should then leave the course with the new understanding and have thoughts on how they can apply the skills and improve in some cases the tasks that they will now undertake with their new knowledge.…

    LEARNING REVIEW counselling

    Tonight’s class was mainly focused on personal development and developing an understanding of empathy. We were given a picture of jelly bean people in a tree and each jelly bean was positioned in a certain way and had a certain facial expression. I was told to choose a character that I felt would resemble me in that moment. I chose one that was sitting on a branch in the middle of the tree, clinging onto the trunk. I wasn’t too sure why this particular character stood out to me, but when I thought about it and studied the image, I realised that it symbolised that I am feeling that there are things happening that would normally bring me down, but that I am determined to not be brought down and I am clinging on. The sad face indicates that I recognise these goings on and that they are in fact making me feel sad, but I will not let go of the tree trunk or let myself fall. I found this exercise very helpful in regards to my personal development, as it made me recognise my issues. Now that I am aware of some of my issues, I can work on what I need to do to resolve them.…

    T-Group Reflection: First Semester Taking Human Services Classes

    This is my first semester taking human services classes. It has been quite the experience I have to say. For most of it I have enjoyed learning about the skills I will need as a helping professional, but it also scares me a little. When I first learned that I had to be in T-groups for interpersonal relations I freaked out. I freaked out because I am both shy and an introvert, so the idea of having to speak to people terrifies me. Over all, T-groups have been a great learning experience for me and I am sure they will continue to be so.…

    Franklin D. Roosevelt's Inaugural Address

    I had arrived so early that only one other person was waiting. He remarked, "We still have a half an hour to wait, I guess we should not have been so early!" Eventually, the instructor arrived and everyone went in and sat down. Once we were all seated I was reassured to see other people my age in the class. It was a great feeling once class got started. The instructor seemed helpful and encouraging. After the class was over, all the distress and fear I had possessed before class had gone and was replaced with a new worry, a healthy one that gave me confidence and made me feel driven.…

    Personal Narrative: The Person I Have Become

    The Parable of the Good Samaritan is something I will take away from the course because it tells a story of something who was dealt the wrong hand and how no one helped until the good Samaritan, I think this story is in my life in a few ways the main one being that I love volunteering and helping at Brunchkins(a non-profit organization dedicated to feeding children breakfast and lunch for school), soon The Refuge, St. Vincent De Paul and other places. People all dealt the wrong hand with no one helping until they come to each of these places where they receive a helping…

    Alcoholics Anonymous: An Open Discussion Meeting

    I did not feel like anyone looked at me or judged me. I was not scared at that point because I realized the people in this meeting were not the scary or even close to what I had imagined. As I sat down I tried to just go with the flow of what others were doing: I noticed the coffee and donuts, and looked around a lot to just take in the whole idea. As the meeting began a pledge was spoken amongst everyone and I felt like it helped show that everyone was equal and there for their one desire. I was nervous because people were beginning to speak, I kept thinking what am I going to say. However, as people spoke I was so intrigued with their stories and situations that I lost focus on what I was going to say. I realized I did not have to speak and I would not be…

    I ask my learners how they feel about these objectives now that we are some way through the course. My learners overall, are very positive and most feel that they have achieved certain objectives such as working in a salon environment, with clients and being Salon Manager, much of which was daunting to them at the start. I agreed and was able to reinforce this, giving examples of work that had demonstrated their new skills, as well as happy clients who had left the Salon! I then read the remaining Units we will cover to them and asked how they felt about these topics. Most were at this point enthusiastic to keep expanding their learning as their goal to be hairdressers and make-up artists outweighs their fear in a learning situation! A couple however, confessed that they were still unsure and gave some examples of mistakes that they felt they had made when learning different cutting techniques. I advised that we would be revisiting these techniques many times over the coming sessions and noted down some examples of the type of cuts causing them problems. I concluded the feedback by congratulating each learner on their hard work and, those who achieved it, regular attendance. I genuinely tried to reassurethem that we will tackle any problem areas together. Generally though, the learner’s individual responses advised me that their confidence within the group and their own ability is growing but, some of course, still feel anxious about the final assessments when they…

    Personal Narrative: Welcome To Public Speaking

    I walked in on the first day of freshman year, not knowing what the school year held in store for me. I had no idea what classes and teachers were assigned to me. We went to our first period, which for me was Geometry. The bell rang and came second period. My schedule said "Public Speaking," but I did not have a clue on what that was. I began to get tense and anxious because surprises are not my thing. The teacher walked in and said, "Hi, welcome to Public Speaking. You'll be learning how to speak in front of a large group of people. We will be reading speeches and also debating against one another." My heart dropped. I started to get even more edgy. All my life before freshman year, I struggled tremendously to speak in front of a class. My…

    Outline the Primary Skills Used in Counselling Relationships

    One of the most important qualities of a counsellor is the ability to listen, meaning that the counsellor must be fully present in the session. The counsellor needs to put aside his or hers own matters and thoughts to be fully present and available as it is impossible to help someone if you are not actively listening. It is important to be listening not only to what is being said but also sometimes to what is being avoided but maybe being felt. When you listen actively it can help make the client feel worthy, appreciated and respected. This could be the first time they have actually been listened to. It is so important that you listen with undivided attention. During a role-play at college I had to listen without speaking for a full ten minutes to the client. I found this exercise very useful and even surprised myself because I was so aware of concentrating on what the client was saying and was so interested in what was being said that I did not feel uncomfortable in not speaking. Even in the few short silences I felt at ease and could appreciate that this silence can be a part of the interaction between the counsellor and the client and I recognised how the silence may help the client to focus. It is vital not to jump in during these silences, as they can be helpful in allowing the client to think and reflect. The counsellor may be able to help them by inviting them to talk about what was going on for them, rather than starting a new topic. It is more helpful for the client to ask ‘what…
