Today was the 4th class of Basic Helping Skills, we had learnt Unit 3: Helping Relationship. I found a very interesting topic during this class, which was Perry's Stages. There are 3 stages, which are dualistic stage, multiplistic stage and the relativistic stage. In the dualistic stage, the young counsellors like us will tend to fail in focusing to the clients because we will keep thinking what we are going to say next. I found this interesting because I experienced that when I conducting interview with people on my assignment. Dr Fa explained to us that was a normal situation and we need to keep improving to get out of this stage.
Another point I want to highlight is during this class, we had came across a lot of common unrealistic beliefs about the helping process. Dr Fa explained to us we have to know all of this just to keep ourselves always motivated and not to put blame on ourselves after we had tried our best. Yes, we as counsellors need to help our clients, but at the same time we need to take care of our own feelings too as we are just ordinary human beings. Moreover, if the clients have doubt on our qualification, we don't ever feel down or angry because all we need to do is to serve them professionally to help them overcome their problems. Only after the counselling session, the clients will believe in us and we are able to build our reputation and confidence slowly.
It is all begin with you, if u don't take care and understand yourself, you will not be strong enough to care for others.
