Week 2: Chapter 2: The counsellor as a person andprofessional
Why is it good for a counsellor to have a good level of self awareness? - ANS-so they don't
obstruct the progress of the clients by shifting the session to dealing with the inadequacies of
the therapist
What is experiential learning? - ANS--part of a counselling program
-provides people the opportunity to share their values, life experiences and personal concerns in
a peer group
How is experiential learning therapeutic? - ANS-provides students with a framework for
understanding how they relate to others and can help them gain insight into their shared
concerns
Should counsellors be involved in their own personal therapy? - ANS--helps them feel more
confident in their role
-benefits personally and professionally
What is transference? - ANS-when clients project onto their therapists past feelings or attitudes
they had toward their caregivers or significant people in their lives
- how the clinician deals with this is crucial
What is countertransference? - ANS-any projections by therapists that distort the way they
perceive and react to a client
-the therapists reaction to the client is intensified by the therapists own experience
What are some ways that we can see countertransference? - ANS-- being overprotective with a
client
-treating the client in benign ways (may stem from a counsellors fear of clients anger)
-rejecting a client (if they see the client as dependent or needy)
-needing constant reinforcement and approval ( therapists may have need to be reassured of
their effectiveness)
-Seeing yourself in your clients (may be unable to separate their feelings from their clients
feelings)
-sexual or romantic feelings (can exploit the vulnerable position of client
-developing a social relationship
When does countertransference become an issue? - ANS-when it is not recognized, monitored
and managed
