day 2 Today as soon as I came in I had already knew where to go. My routine is helping serve breakfast then to the first group session at 10 where we talked about mental health in which I showed Joe. He spoke about how medication in the past was mostly about shutting up clients versus really helping them. I really thought that this session was interested because I saw the truth in what he was saying because back in those days they did not engineer medication to help people but more like trying to keep them quiet. Joe also spoke about the psychoanalysis and I was really surprised to see how much the clients really knew about this. One specific client stood out the most because he spoke on the topic, it seem as if he was teaching us versus Joe teaching him. This specific client new so much and it turns out that he went to Lehman College. This was surprising to me because some of us are grown to think that people who are mentally ill come from no educational background and this is what I was expecting to see coming here at Gateway counseling center. …show more content…
Clients then talked about their experiences with having hallucinations. One client said he was looking through his window one day when he saw a man shooting bows and arrows in the crowds. He said he was scared at what he saw and cried when he saw it. I felt so sad for this individual. Others spoke about having spiritual guidance. Joe told me that if a client hallucination is not harming them or others it's not necessarily a bad thing. I agree to some extent. He went on to explain that if the voices is telling a client that they are beautiful, that they are loved, that they have a purpose for living, then it's not such a bad thing; versus voices that's telling them to throw themselves off of abuilding to hurt themselves or somebody

In the coaching discussion it was not said that my conduct was not meeting expectations, but not allow myself to be in situations where it appears I’m being insubordinate.
To begin, the atmosphere when I walked in was not the most welcoming. The counseling center looks plain and boring when you walk in, which doesn’t make anyone feel comfortable. The receptionist was not very nice; I could actually
A mental health counselor is a counseling professional, whose duties involves helping individuals cope with difficult life events, managing mental illnesses, and referring patients to additional resources that can help them.

I am a mental health counselor working towards licensure in the state of Washington. I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University Seattle. In my current counseling practice, I work with individual adults (over 18). I take a humanistic approach to therapy; in our sessions together, we will focus on the here-and-now of your experience, while also exploring your past and social context to the extent they are relevant to your present concerns. Our first meeting will be a time for you to tell your story; then, together, we will assess your concerns and issues, and decide on the goals toward which you would like to move (Hilton, 2016). As we continue through the therapy process, we
My first four weeks at Ben Taub Neuropsychiatric Unit had been such an amazing experience. Honestly speaking, I did not expect that I would eventually enjoy a Mental Health setting. My clinical instructor, Michelle Philipps is such an amazing supervisor and I am so happy that she’s also from the Philippines in that way I could talk to her in our own language, and I could ask her everything! I really admire her compassion and dedication to work, I am so proud of her, she’s been doing a great job. All the occupational therapists including doctors and psychotherapists were very supportive to the students. I have been seeing adults and adolescent patients under my CI supervision in the Inpatient and Outpatient Psychiatry (IOP) units. I am also
Integrated approach to counseling is when you combined theories to cover the clients’ feelings, cognitive patterns, and behavior (Corey, Theory and Practice of Counseling and Pschotherapy 8e, 2009). Each theory focuses one of these key components of a client but in counseling you need to focus on each of these to fully help a client. The key to integrative counseling is to have multiple theories function in harmony (Corey, Theory and Practice of Counseling and Pschotherapy 8e, 2009).
After viewing the hallucinating patient video, I learned that they need our support the most. I never imagined how much hallucinations can make difference in person’s life. The main thing I learned is that communication technique plays an important role while dealing with hallucinating patient. I always used to think that it will be very hard to control and have conversation with hallucinating client. However, this video has taught me how to communicate in calm and effective manners.
