This is a good learning point for me. I recently just started taking up counselling cases and realised that my expectations for counselling and how counselling actually is, is very different. I learnt that my own personal feelings and beliefs can really affect my relationship and dynamic with my client. It is really important to understand your own feelings towards the situation and ensure you don’t transfer it to your client. Setting aside my own opinions and views to understand them without judgement was something difficult but essential to do. Hoping to make some meaningful progress with my client and learn how to improve along the way.
Working with clients who may not always align with the therapy process can be challenging, but it's an opportunity to grow as a therapist. It's important to remain patient and flexible, adapting your methods to meet the clients where they are. Empathy plays a crucial role in understanding their resistance without judgment. Building trust is key, as it fosters a safe space for them to engage more openly. With time and the right approach, even challenging clients can make meaningful progress. #TherapyInsights #ClientCare #TherapistTips #ResistantClient #DifficultClient #ClinicalPsychology #CounselingPsychology #HealthCare #tips #Coping #psychology #Therapy #therapist #counseling #MentalHealth #MindMatters #Counselor
