Record 3 audio in which you and a partner (friend, classmate, acquaintance, etc) have “counseling sessions”. Here’s the catch—you may ONLY ask a question to get started (maybe “what would you like to talk about today?”) and then you’re limited to your basic skills that we’ve addressed so far: basic attending skills, encouragers, paraphrases, and summaries.
After completing these audio, write a one page double spaced assignment about your experience. Explain the following that is listed below.
-How did it feel to be practicing counseling/interviewing?
-How did you feel about utilizing ONLY the skills that we have been studying in this class (encouragers, paraphrases, and summaries)?
-Explain what your confidence levels are relating to the skills that we have studied thus far in this class.
