1.) In this scenario, write 5 open and 5 closed questions that you could use to respond to the client. Then, justify each question to explain how it will help the counseling session. *** Write one of each of the following to respond to the clients statement instead of using a question, and speculate how the client might respond to each of these: a.) An encourager b.) A paraphrase or summary c.) Reflection of Feeling Client Statement: I just dont know what to do anymore. I feel like for every step forward I make, I slide back two steps. I keep trying to work hard and make money—Ive been working two part-time jobs for the past 6 months. But then the car breaks down and it takes all my money to fix it. While its broken, I cant get to my night job, so I get fired. But, I need the money to stay ahead of my bills and show the CPS workers that I can keep a roof over my kids heads. I know that I could get a better job if I finished my GED, but I dont have time to take those classes—I need to work to make money. 2.) During your practice time this week, keep a mental note (or perhaps an actual tally) of the number of questions that you ask in your conversations with your clients. a.) Write a brief reflection in which you talk about your experience of using questions in your practice this week. Now that weve added questions into our practice, how prevalent are they? b.) Think about the outcomes and responses that you received to your questions. Did they function the way you intended? c.) Reflect on how you experienced the role of power in the counseling relationship when you used questions. Could you sense the power differential differently, or feel when it shifted between the client and the counselor?Show more
