really would apprectiate the help

/in /by

In this module, you began developing your foundation as a
clinical mental health counselor. You learned about counseling
characteristics and your strengths and weaknesses. You explored social,
cultural, and ethical issues in conducting counseling. You also learned
some foundational skills to provide Rogers’s core conditions.
Understanding yourself while learning to accept another’s experience is
part of unconditional positive regard (UPR).

For this discussion, put what you have learned into
active awareness. Think about the following: How are you naturally when
you first meet someone? How fully present are you with the person? How
will you go about developing your genuineness in the therapeutic
encounter while differentiating between your worldview and the client’s?
How will you express compassion and a sincere desire to help? How will
you stay mindfully present with the client during the therapeutic
encounter, taking in the raw data of the client’s words, tone, and body
language without distraction?

Tasks:

In a minimum of 400 words, after conducting a self-assessment related to the topics for this module, post to the Discussion Area your responses to the following:

  • What characteristics of a good counselor do you
    possess, and which do you need to develop? Do a self-assessment to
    answer this. Be sure to share what was enlightening or surprising to you
    in this module’s readings.
  • What characteristics do you possess that will enhance you as a counselor?
  • What characteristics do you still need to develop?
  • What might hinder your development of counseling skills and techniques?
  • How might you overcome those challenges?
  • How might your cultural influences and personal values impact your counseling relationships?
  • How will you maintain ethical boundaries and self-care?

Support your rationale and analysis by using
at least two resources from professional literature in your response.
Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library
resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and
websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or
institutions (websites ending in .edu or .gov).

Your discussion posts and all written
assignments should reflect graduate-level writing skills and appropriate
use of APA style, including in-text citations and references.
