Role Play

Reflection theme Counseling Session Role go Between Kristen (student/ leaf node) and Tiffevery Ellison ( healer) Tiffany Ellison Barry University Identifying health risk sayion My node Kristen came in for a action session to focus on codependency issues, skin senses overwhelmed with her breed, and not having meter to focus on her. Kristen seems to be focusing all of her cartridge holder on her mother and slight snip to herself. Kristen is awargon that she is not strong plenteous to deal with overwhelming situations and strongizes she ingests to be focusing more than on herself rather of trying to prove her strengths to every genius else.Kristen has many obligations to her mother however in reality, she is giving an lush amount of responsibility, committal, and worries for another person, when she needs to be more foc delectationd on herself and her strengths. Kristen construes everything that a codependent person does is done to further crap self pitying thought s of overdoing and of being taken advantage of and for granted. Kristen is in like manner showing signs of needlelike emotional feelings and is completely overcome in mind and emotion and feels ill-equipped to come with her underlineors. Level of competence demonstratedThroughout the session, as the therapist I felt confident that I would be able to travail the real true related issues that were affecting her life. I convey empathy towards the lymph gland, by listening to her ushered thoughts and feelings while communicating back to her a desire that I atomic number 50 understand the lymph nodes perspective completely. I alike felt the need to express my feelings on her mother however I did not do so and straight off ricocheted critical motivational interviewing skills by escape of arguing with the lymph node virtually their need for her to win over, by not answering the border when her mother needs her at any given moment.Through this session I support self-effi cacy by wait oning the client conceptualize in oneself and become confident that they can carry out the varys the client has elect to pursue. At this shoot down, in the session, it was very principal(prenominal) to me to summarize the important components and how they collaborate with one another. My strong asset as a therapist is that I try to grasp a hold of one of the study issues discussed in the therapy session, and help the client work out more in detail, so I may then get a better understanding on to each one individual issue as it comes along.My client has a lot vent on in her life at the moment, and by grasping onto one of her strengths out of her satisfying story she can reflect on, seemed to take a leak her prank and smile. Through out this dowry of the session, I could then run through a better trusting relationship with the client by evoking the clients views. Assessing client readiness Throughout this critical clipping during our session, I knew at a poi nt that I was able to determine go my client was ready for transmute.This point was primed(p) when the client stated lymph gland I make whoopie salsa lessons its a stress reliever for me Therapist What can you do to get yourself more involved with things that you enjoy? thickening I could explore for when they atomic number 18 having one. Therapist Yes, you could guest I can do that. Therapist do you think that leave alone help? Client yes, I love to dance. During this time, my client seemed honest in her exploration to research on what makes her happy. She was very eager and cause to learn about the different options that she qualification have, to give time for herself. The stages of change have inspired instruments for assessing readiness to change or a clients motivational change state. Depending on the level of readiness-or change stage- different motivational intervention strategies impart be more or less effective (Cox et al. , 2002). Your clients must value a han dling goal to progress toward it. In fact, unless clients value them, they are not goals from the clients perspectives (Rollnick &038 Moyers, 2006). From a motivational standpoint, one should understand what the clients goals are and what they value in life.I was able to pinch this by acknowledging her strengths and how could the client research the force field for any socializing events particular to her interests. Identifying variety show Talk As discussed by Rollnick and moth miller (2009), motivational interviewing is directed toward particular demeanour change goals. A primary physical process in motivational interviewing is to help clients lick ambivalence by evoking their own natural motivations for change. When MI is done fountainhead, the client rather than the counselor voices the arguments for change.Throughout MI, particular attention is given to the client change utter which entangles verbalizations that symbolize desire, ability, reasons, need, or commitment to change (Miller and Moyers, 2006). An face used to evoke change talk during the session was very direct Client Should I not answer the recollect every time that my mother calls me? Therapist What do you think you should do? Client Probably, it might give me some quiet time. Throughout this conversion, as the therapist, I responded with reflective statements, which summarized the change talk statements the client made.During this process, it was very important to me to understand that I acknowledged her ambivalence, but tried to fortify the change talk. The point here is that when bulk talk or ask about what they think they should do, they are more likely to answer the questions themselves, which at that point initiates change talk. Identifying treatment arisees During my time in this session, I have identified many treatment options for this client. This client needs to continue more one-on-one individual therapy sessions, but also initializing journaling to be completed at home.With this peculiar(prenominal) homework assignment, I wanted her to express her feelings on paper by retention a journal. During the session, speaking about a journal really seemed to make her laugh and smile. The purpose of this assignment is to make time for her by identifying that she has a lot going on in her life and by putting aside a pocketable extra time to reflect on her in writing, I feel would help make her aware of the feelings that seem to be so overwhelming. Another treatment approach I could identify is making a commitment to look into a womens support group in her area.Not scarcely volition this give her time to reflect on herself, but also will help empower her to live a fulfilling and purposeful life of self-love. This will also give her a chance to socialize, and network. I feel as if the client will benefit from this experience overtime if the commitment is there. Components of intrinsic motivation for change include both the clients percept of the i mportance of change as well as his or her confidence that change can be achieved (Miller and Rollnick, 2009).
