A Glimpse of a Therapeutic Relationship
I. Introduction:
The therapeutic relationship is central to counselors’ work with clients. The therapeutic relationship is the association, rapport, and connection between a counselor and client. The establishment of the therapeutic relationship begins with the joining process, wherein the counselor and client get to know each other and clarify the need and purpose for counseling. The therapeutic relationship includes such things as unconditional regard for the client, placing the needs of the client first, engaging the client in a positive and collaborative manner, understanding the client and his or her context as it pertains to the presenting problem, mutually agreeing upon treatment goals and interventions, and empowering the client. In essence, the therapeutic relationship is the interaction, connection, and process between counselor and client in efforts to bring about the desired results in therapy.

ReplyDelete2. Empathize- through emphatize the client will feel comfortable sharing her experiences without barrier
Know their background - knowing their back ground will be able to know the contributing factors why the client feel the way she feels. School, family and friends might have a big role to that.
Asking about family situation- in the case of Lucy her parents have problem with their marriage that makes Lucy feel more down.
Aking about School situation- Lucy said that she could have performed well but she just couldn't.
Jot down important things the client had said- through jotting down, you will be able to note important things and forgetting them would be not a problem.
Based on my observation these skills will surely help counselor to undedstand their client's situation and will be able to give proper advices.
Additional:
1.Asking them how it affects them physically
2. If the client is a woman counselor must be a woman also.
3. Make good distance from client
4. Look at their eyes

1.) Listening
2.) Asking Questions
3.) Reflection
4.) Genuineness
5.) Emphathy
I think these skills will help the person know that you are ready to listen and be there and be able to help them with her issue. Allowing yourself to know her better and understand how she was feeling by asking questions. Helping the person to reflect on her feelings, emotions and be aware of these things to make her understand more of herself. Also being genuine and showing empathy towards the client makes them feel appreciated and understandable of what their going through helps them to understand that they are not alone and someone could understand them.

2. As Ive watched the video the five vital skills I observed was first Rapport, it is used by the counsellor for knowing the client which was Lucy. And it help to the counsellor to identify and know what is the problem of her client because they are comfortable with each other. Second skill was listening attentively,it help a lot to the counsellor for understanding the client deeply, by knowing every detail of the clients lefe experiences. Third skill I observed was gaving appropriate question, the counsellor do her best to gave a relevant question and she wrote down the important information about her clients emotions, even physical, social and every aspect of Lucy's life. Fourth skill I observe was requesting a permission, because in the video the counsellor start to wrote down the information about Lucy but the client stare what the counsellor did and as a response she request a permission inorder to avoid misunderstanding and uncomfortable atmosphere like what the client felt with her family and even friends. Last skill I observed was the counsellor have an emphatic approach , it help on the counsellor side to know and understand more what is the client emotions and feelings about her problem.

Base on the video, after I watch I observe that Lucy have a depression to their family, and school so that Lucy decide to go their counselor, I observed that the councilor focus to their client and he knows and understand it. The 5 vitals helps the person first is to being Ability to Listen, A counselor needs not only to listen to what is being said, but how it’s said, why it’s being said, and what it means in the context of that particular client. Second is Flexibility, each client is going to be different in his or her background, experience, and engagement in the therapeutic relationship, so to be able to transition from one perspective to another based on each client is a skill that should be developed early on. The third is to have a sense of humor that the Counselors sit through some uncomfortable, difficult, and often traumatic stories. That said, it’s alright for both counselors and clients to laugh along the way. And fourth is being Accessibility & Authenticity counselor must be accessible to clients in order to gain their trust, but more importantly, a counselor needs to be genuine and empathetic in his or her communication, listening, and professional persona. And the last is Self-Reflection because an effective therapist knows that it’s just as important to look within themselves as it is to carefully observe others.

As what I Observed in the video, in order to be effective counselor it is very necessary for them to:
* build a good relationship towards to their client in order for the Client feel comfortable and also for you as a counselor to get their trust and through that they are willing to open up their problem.
* Listening and observant skills, make your client feel that you are a active listener( listening with all your senses ) attending ( the eye contact and physical appearance should be present ) and the verbal listening must be their always.
* Asking questions, to make your information about the client should be more expand. and by that you are willing to be more aware also about the demographic profile of the client about their personality type also. and you will be more aware about which part you need to be more sensitive. and in the video the counselor really did her best in order to support her question in a nice way.
* Reflection and Empathy the counselor have a really good approach because she do her part as counselor to understand the feeling of Lucy.
* They adopt also the SOLER technique. and that is good way also to make the conversation between the client and counselor be more meaningful and should have a progressive.
