Question
The student is to introduce the session by describing the client, the presenting problem and stating how many previous sessions you have had with this client. The rest of the paper should focus on your therapeutic skills. This is meant to be a self-reflective exercise to process your use of skills and your feelings about doing so.
Discuss the following:
1. What skills did you implement that worked well? What is your basis for this determination (g., client was receptive, client made steps towards change, etc...)?
2. What, if anything, was challenging or may have felt awkward? What may you do differently next time?
3. Discuss your thought process for choosing the intervention(s) that you did (g., what is it about this theoretical approach that seemed appropriate for this client)?
4. Did you feel any emotions toward the client? What were they and where did they come from (consider countertransference)?
5. How were your interventions and interactions with the client reflective of trauma-informed practices? Give some specific examples.
6. Where would you go from here with this client?
7. What skills/techniques may you want to further develop? How would you do this?
