Counseling Moves
On the development of someone's life they may run through despair and loneliness but as a counselor I would aim to help others grow and become more aware of our diverse population, mental illnesses and the outcome of therapy. It is important for counselors to obtain the knowledge and understanding of different cultures and religions because most clients do not come from the same ethnic group; and need someone there to understand their individuality. It is my goal to help raise that awareness amongst other counselors, so we can use the appropriate therapy techniques. Most non-clients do not know the seriousness of a mild illnesses and how it can progress in to something crucial if it is not taken care of correctly. It would be my goal to help them understand the major affects that could occur and lead them into therapy. Also, the community needs to become more informed on the positive effects of counseling. I would like to help them become more acquainted with these outcomes and diminish any discrimination that may come along with counseling.
I knew I wanted to study clinical mental health when I reached out for counseling myself and attended Talk Therapy. Feeling the success and accomplishments at the end of each session made me realize that I had to share this discovery by becoming a counselor myself. Counseling helped me decrease my chances of developing an illness because the advice and tasks that my counselor would give me were very reasonable and comforting, and I felt I could accomplish them independently. While working towards my bachelors in psychology, I attended several psychological events that changed my perspective on the reality of real life situations. One specific event was a walk through of individuals of different races and some who were homosexual. During the walk through we were shown graphic pictures and stories of each person and most committed suicide, but at the end of the tunnel we had the opportunity to watch a film on services and counseling that are now provided for such situations. I was intrigued by these conditions and found myself wanting to learn more about the outcome and the steps for improvement.
The aspirations I set for myself are specific and concise; they allow me to focus on exactly what I need to do to keep moving forward. The specific goals help me stay committed and help me plan out my next step. While reaching for these goals I notice that I need to change the way I review my work. Rather than rushing through it quickly I need to leisurely review my work and progress.
Dedicating my undergraduate years to learn about the mind and all of its functions while reading up on several different theories about psychologist is only one major factor of my commitment. I have taken on extra courses on special education and social work so I may learn about various services and can work with a client directly that has disabilities. I have recently taken on a position that has given me the opportunity to work directly with clients who has autism using Applied Behavior Analysis. I am able to redirect a child and go through a three-step process of prompting when a child is placed a demand. I am passionate about the methods of counseling and I believe that I will be a great asset to the counseling community by assisting others goals and personal issues.
