Modeling In Counseling

 



Modeling In Counseling

There are several approaches to modeling for counseling trainers that help to cultivate their career as a counselor. These include video demonstrations, role modeling, and creating a criteria list that contains all the necessary requirements for excellent therapy with wise and sophisticated counselors whom they can find in counselor organizations, in which they should enroll. Trainees are expected to check the criteria list in detail after completing a triad session, and qualified trainee counselors need to evaluate the results and note their missing points with their friends and ask them to criticize how they led the session. They can also mark themselves as if in the positions of teacher and student.

In addition to these, creating a setting to observe people's psychology and their reactions in each situation to detect their problems and deduce some ideas from their approaches to phenomena can be counted as another way of modeling. In this case, the trainees put themselves in the role of a psychiatrist and would be able to analyze issues that they may encounter in their career.

Furthermore, to learn how to prepare a presentation can be helpful for modeling in applying empath technique. One of the rules of an effective presentation is not to bore the audience by reading long sentences and to use more visual effects with remindful prompts. When counselors reflect the ideas or feelings of the clients, they should paraphrase clients` words professionally.

Empathy is also used as a technique in therapy sessions. To internalize the feelings of the clients, more people are supposed to be known or observed. Doing volunteer jobs would provide trainee some facilities to understand people in difficult situations. Additionally, trainee counselors may have the opportunity to examine the psychology of people who cannot meet therapy sessions economically.

The effectiveness of these modeling techniques has been studied and documented in the literature. For instance, a study by King, Ramsay, and Fitzpatrick (2016) found that using video demonstrations and role modeling can enhance trainee counselors' skills and competence. Similarly, a study by Tsai and colleagues (2018) showed that empathy training and volunteer work can improve trainee counselors' empathy and understanding of clients.

Dependency in Counseling: Risks and Solutions

  Dependency on a therapist can have negative consequences for clients, such as loss of self-confidence, decision-making difficulties, and emotional immaturity. It may also lead them to seek refuge from negative aspects of life, such as job rejections or losses in games. On the other hand, dependency on a client by a counselor can cause the counselor to prioritize their own enjoyment rather than the client's needs, leading to boredom and duplication of the problem. Dependency can be expected when clients have feelings of disappointment, stress, or anxiety. To avoid dependency, it is essential to set boundaries and not become too friendly with clients. Counseling sessions should be conducted in a legal and ethical manner, and counselors should clearly state the boundaries before beginning the process. If dependency still arises, it is necessary to admit it and be sensitive to the client's emotions. Counselors can schedule sessions at longer intervals and teach clients how to dea...

Usage of Appropriate Phrases and Feedback While Counseling

Some counselors even teachers get trapped by their words while guiding their clients and students. The choice of words could make the session even worse. Please see the examples and definitions below to lead clients better.   a-) The statements below show the characteristic of appropriate feedback.  I feel this situation tensed your nerves and that sometimes makes it hard for people to control their behaviors. I understand you r feeling.

These statements would be more suitable when the client is nervous and uses inappropriate words about the situation but in front of the counsellor.
