UNIT 10
SELF=REFLECTION
1.Once I supported a student who lost her mother and was suffering a lot in the hands of her step mother which resulted to a decline in her performance. I called her father to the school to hear from both of them .Then I advised the father to ensure that the girl is given all the support she needs to be able to improve on her performance.
2-One of the traits I have strength in is patience .When someone is narrating a case ,I put myself in the person’s shoes to be able feel the same way I could have felt .This helps me to be better in problem solving. The area I need to strengthen is to create more time to listen more keenly.
Reflection prompt
1.One of the best qualities of a counsellor that I have is patience combined with empathy in my day to day activities .This gives me the ability to understand people’s problems and give myself enough time to investigate if the need arises to give fair a advice for better decision making.
2.The quality that I fine most challenging is keen listening .This happens when there is little time and the one being counselled is either lying or not ready to cooperate .Otherwise I when there is time, I can always do my best to give support in the soonest possible time
