... that is the question. What do I have to say that I feel a need to share with anyone who stumbles across this page? After all my work is bound by confidentiality so there's a lot that I cannot write about.

Always intrested in the counsellors process when working with clients.
ReplyDeleteWhat we feel about clients. I can give you an example of this.
Working with someone I really dont like but still having a relationship with them on some level which from what they tell me is really helping them to cope with life.
What is my process when I am working with this person?
Just by sight they remind me of someone from the past and even the clients manner I struggle with, this is all cheaked out in supervision and held.
To change the subject, I find it easier to share client work from the past, like a few months ago etc. No need to use names or even where you worked with this person.
I have enjoyed reading what you have to say and I look forward to reading more. See you soon!
