Coming to terms with your own developmental history involves the exploration of the “good news” and the “bad news” of your family relationships. Describe two of the facilitative influences, and two of the impeding factors, that have affected your capacity to: (1) establish and maintain successful personal relationships; and (2) your ability to achieve and take pleasure in your accomplishments. How do these factors affect your work with clients? Provide examples from your practicum experience whenever possible. Please make sure to protect client confidentiality by omitting any identifiable client information.
