karen’s 1st counselling session
"i want to try as a demo counsellor…" this is what i told myself yesterday. However, once arrived the tutorial room, i started panic… i dont want to be the 1st counsellor today cos so nervous… but Pn Fa, my lecturer for KMC1063 Practicum Counselling 1 point me out… T_T… luckily i practised the skills yesterday…
this is a demo lab for us to act as a counsellor with the actual case/issue brought by our client (most of them are our course mate). I VE….RY Nervous… about 50 eyes looking at me and they all judge me directly and indirectly.
my client is etty. her issue is about friend and family. for me this case is ok. here i mean i can handle this kind of case with no crying and no big mood swing… the 2nd case is so sad. i just cant imagine if i became the counsellor for the 2nd case… i may cry rather than help her to solve the problem…
after the session was the time for me to accept whatever feedbacks from my course mates and lecturer. Most of them said i did looked cool and calm… i am not sure about it, but actually i feel HOT……Aiyo, the air-cond like not function de. i always can detect the sweat on my forehead… Silently, i moved my hand and tried to cooling down but it is helpless… Well, in fact, a professional counsellor will avoid this kinds of body movement cos it may effect the client’s mood… but, i really cant help in feeling hot… Pn fa called me out before i am ready and cooling down… this made me feel a little bit not satisfy in my 1st session. I did not do well in this session. Still need to improve…
So… i feel relax now. At least i know what is the feeling of being a counsellor with real issue. Next time, i will be more confident in the counselling session.
Thanks God for blessing me the previous days, yesterday, today…
AND
i so sure , He will take care of me for the day coming up…
Jesus Is Love!
