fter reviewing the readings and other course content, artificially move your predetermined care-seeker (i.e., Crossroads` Care-seekers: Bruce, Joshua, Brody, Justin, or Melissa) through Phase Two. NOTE: These discussions require that you draw upon ALL required course resources to substantively develop each phase in our Solution-based, Short-term, Pastoral Counseling process. Use the following headings to organize your post. Rapport and Relational Alignment. Briefly discuss how you will continue to build rapport and shift your relational style in order to best align with the care-seeker`s style (i.e., use DISC language) and current behavioral position (i.e., attending, blaming, or willing). Include a discussion on DISC-specific relational alignment and your care-seeker`s current behavioral position. Phase Two Distinctive Features. Narrate movement of care-seeker through Phase Two`s distinctive features (i.e., purpose, goal, chief aim, role/responsibility, use of guiding assumptions) and apply pertinent insights and techniques from the required course resources. Supportive Feedback Break. What portrait, definition(s), key thought(s), and/or assessment insight from the Quick Reference Guide might be utilized in the supportive feedback technique? Phase Two Marker. Describe a marker that indicates you have collaboratively ‘imagineered” a picture of life without the problem. In what way does this marker indicate the care-seeker is in a willing position and ready for Phase Three? Food for Thought: When learning a new people skill or counseling technique, is it normal to “feel” awkward and fake? Use at least 1 example and thoughtfully explain how this “feeling” might be normalized. Please review the Discussion Assignment Instructions, and the Discussion Grading Rubric prior to posting.
