Personal Narrative: A Career In The Field Of Counseling

Once reported the relevant person can help the child appropriately to solve the issue correctly hopefully getting the child back on course.

Another dilemma would be when to break confidentiality and share information. If you have any concerns about a child or feel they are at risk you need to share them and report it, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

To disclose information is to tell another person about an incident or event. Direct disclosure occurs when the child or young person informs someone directly that they have been abused or exploited, this may begin as just a comment that then requires further investigation. Indirect disclosure usually involves a third party who may have information that or added comments from the child that rings alarm bells. From this point staff will observe behaviour that might indicate possible abuse or the child may be sexually aware and act in an inappropriate way. Or the child may make of comment that alerts the listeners.

“How can I be good again? I just lost my wife and son in a car accident. There's nothing in life that can cheer me up. I have become an alcoholic who is now jobless.” I said. My Therapist, Dr. Newman, told me “Trust me, Mr. Smith. Only time can heal your wounds if you allow it to. Well, that's the end of the session, and I want to recall the accident that occurred so we can talk about it tomorrow.”

I never thought that I'd be writing to you out of all people. Everyone may question my sanity once they figure out I've been trying to write to you ever since you were convicted five years ago. It's just.... I couldn’t find the right words to explain how badly you hurt me. However, my therapist said that writing this letter will help me accept the fact that I made the dumbest mistake in the world seven years ago when we got married. Oh yeah, I'm going to a therapist. I find that quite ironic since one day I thought I could become a therapist, and specialize in women sciences, but instead, I'm going to one.

“I want to live.” She said. She lifted her feet off the small coffee table and set them gently on the floor as she continued to look through me, too interested on the inner workings of her own mind.

I realized, upon taking the various assessments, that even though I was reasonably aware of my personal strengths and character traits, to have the opportunity to have them confirmed and then exposed to some I wasn’t aware of has uncovered qualities and attributes that I have now begun to employ in my everyday life, both naturally

I've been clean from self harm for quite a few months now and I'm not sure how I feel anymore

“Casey, your group needs to do the stunt one more time!” coach said imprudently. It happened March 26, 2015; it was at the end of a two hour practice. During the summer months in South Georgia, it is utterly hot and humid, especially in our cheer gym (a warehouse with no air conditioner); it only has two heavy-duty fans and a roll-up door. With this in mind, my group became slightly irritated. Everyone was exhausted; nevertheless we still had to do the stunt anyway.

If I read your mind, what would I find? Would you be thinking about your plans tonight or all the havoc your puppy is causing at home while you are away? Perhaps you are dreading your in-laws’ annual Thanksgiving visit, or reading another graduate school essay. More importantly, if I asked what you were thinking, would you answer me honestly?

When discussing the session with K, she mentioned the possibility of giving the parents a summary sheet instead of the full report during the session. I wonder if that would prevent the parents reading the report during the session. I am sure they are very curious about their child’s results, and in this dad’s case, he strongly related to the child’s struggles. Therefore, I am sure they are interested to read the report as soon as possible. However, it prevents them from hearing all of the feedback. I do think a disadvantage of not providing the full report upfront is that providing the report upfront allows the parent to understand how everything is laid out.

The test itself was not what I had expected. When the test began it was simply a series of personal questions and questions about men and women within or out of the workforce. Initially, I believed the test would be a series of similar questions. When I was taken to the next screen for

My first thought about this test is that it is not real and it really does not mean anything. The test results are very accurate about me. It does measure everything it claims to measure about me. My personality type is “Determined Realist”. The validity says I am practical, traditional, and organized, and things are true about me. The hard-working part really made me believe this is very accurate because my grandfather made sure that was something I picked up from him. I am a very loyal person who is a good citizen who value security and peaceful living. When I graduated high school, my plan was to go in the military, but I changed my mind. This test showed me that the military could have fit me. Some of the other careers I have had an

Do you believe that your role as a therapist will end at the end of the day or will it be present in your personal life also?

Nothing could be further from the truth. Going in to take this test with that mindset is a big mistake…big! Consequently, the odds are you’ll be wasting your time. You’ll then have to wait 120 days to retake the test. By that time, the job in which you were interested will more than likely be filled.
