My feelings and experiences
To begin with I would like to state that my experiences gained on this course, has been intriguing and uplifting. The exercises we practiced in the lessons helped me to grasp a reality on how things work in the world of counselling in terms of contracting agreements boundaries and the important skills needed to help the client adjust to the circumstances.
Towards the end of the course we did an exercise covering important factors of our lifeline’s explaining the ups and downs of our life. I found this very interesting because reflecting on the past and present helped me to see the transformation from then to now.
Which became an important piece of evidence of the changes I have been through from the negative to the positive aspects and all importantly it has shown me about the person I have become today.
What I have learnt from receiving and giving constructive feedback
The feedback gained through triads helped me to understand counselling more and enabled me to improve on the skills I needed to. Once you have hands
