It is important that the counselors understand that there are three areas that should be focused on in the encounter. These areas of focus should be on what happened or what the individual is dealing with, who is impacted by this, and how can the wounds be healed (CentralMichiganRJ, 2008). These counselors already strive to mend broken relationships and I believe they would be very supportive of anything that

For instance, I am not entirely comfortable with the silence or awkwardness. However, I think with more practice I will be comfortable and able to allow the silence that occurs in therapy. The other feedback I received from the social worker is that I did a good job of applying motivational interviewing techniques such as reflecting and asking open ended questions.
