Time to Say Goodbye..

   I had my live helping session on 9/12/2015. Before that, I felt really stress and super nervous as I afraid I cannot do it well.

   However, on that day, I felt calm and peace in me after my silent prayer to God. During the session, I only focused on my client and did it step by step according to what Dr. Fa has taught me. I felt super relief after the session. 

   I appreciate Dr. Fa to what she had taught me for this whole semester. I also feel that this course is quite fun and I enjoyed it very much.

Well well well.. Finally we finish our lectures on Basic Helping Skills.. Times move quickly isn't it?.. Oh I really enjoyed my lectures.. I found that this subject is the most favorite subject of mine.. It is really interesting to learn some essentials skills to be a future counselor someday. During the first lectures, our lecturer, Dr Fa have giving me a really good impression about this course.. I adore the way she teaches us during her lectures because she giving some examples that relevant to a topic that we are learnt in class.. I also love the idea of creating this blog actually! We can post our opinion about this course and share our experience in class here.. It clearly different from other classes.. For the live sessions which is considered as our final exam, I totally learnt a new experience.. Dr Fa said that it is a good sign for us if we are having a great sympathy towards client when they cry in the counselling session for the first time.. i just can't describe my feeling and emotion during the live session.. I felt something that I never felt before.. If you asking me how many star I give to rate this course, I will give it FIVE STAR!!!! Plus, I very comfortable with Dr Fa's teaching methods. She is one of the best and friendly lecturer out there! Can't wait to see her again in the next semester for the personality development!!
 - Thanks Dr Fa, meet you in the next semester

Final post ^.^

 After about 14 weeks of classes with Dr Fa learning on Basic helping skills, i really learnt a lot, i still remember the first week, Dr Fa asked us to rate about this course and the class and i rate not sure, but if time can reverse, i will definitely choose i like this course as this is easiest and funniest class as no stress faced during lessons but is the experience that i gained. I sincerely thank Dr Fa for teaches us about the model of counselling as well as shared with us the experience handling the special cases. It all is like just happened when i flashback the memory. I really looking forward to join the next class on next semester, on class personality development.

A Round Up of BHS

After week in and week out of lessons about Basic Helping Skills, I learned that helping one another towards a better goal of life orientated by true sincerity and equipped skills are much as important as having a daily intake for our body. However, we, counselors are for the mind buisness that is also essential for the liberty of health and  achieving a better way of life.
Thank You BHS for the invaluable learning.

WHAT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER

Last Friday, 4th of December, I participated in a role play. My counselor was Mr. Sim and i bought up an issue which seemingly interest the class to silence. I bought up an issue about my life experience which was having a eventually confessed to a girl that I have crushed on for over 5Years. The issue that bought me up into dilemma was about her response. Behind her smile was a seemingly less confidence that hides the fact she is insincere in her speaking.
That bought me up in dilemma.
Hence, after sharing with Mr. Sim and the whole class I felt much better.
It is undeniable that BHS has an effective way of helping people and a noble subject to learn.

LESSONS IN PRESENTATION

Last week, I have presented a video about the basic helping skill applied in a counseling session. When I know that my group will present that video today, suddenly I feel a little bit shame because I do not think I do not did well that video. Even though I feel nervous and shame...... so what??I must present that video also although I tried to postpone it later...so i just go for it. In that presentation of my group’s video,although I feel shame when i saw it but I got many valuable lessons from that video. What is the most important thing I learn from that video is I learned as a counselor my face’s mimics must be suitable depends on the situation. For example when our client enter the room and I am introduce myself as a counselor. So in that situation I must smile to give my good vibes to a client so that my client will feel comfortable.So if the situation is vice versa from that like if the client told a emotional story so in that context we as a counselor can’t do a unemotional face like nothing happened. So what we must do is we must feel what the client say and I make sure that our face will react correctly in that kind of situation. That is also what Dr Fa and others commented when they saw my videos because honestly i say that i do not know how how to express my facial expression based on the situation. I took what Dr Fa say to me as a lesson and i hope i can improve it what is i lack off. Hoho...okay i feel that i already type too long post and my finger started to cramp. Okay guys that’s for today!!hehe =) 

Experience of the group assignment

After the completion of the present for group assignment I have gained a wealth of experience and lessons learned based on the comments provided by Dr.Fa and also friends. Through this assignment I was able to learn how to use an the techniques, models and theories that have been learned in this subject. The comments that have been given very helpful I and other group members to improve and upgrade their skills and applying what has been learned.

My Opinions

Hi everyone, I would like to share about my opinion for this subject. As we know at the end of this class, we will get some advice or knowledge about this subject. In this class after studying this subjects as a whole chapter I found this subject is very important and helps me to upgrade and improve my basic helping skill. This is because, basic helping skill are very important in the process of helping carry out counselling effectively. This subject also helps someone to improving communication skills. What has been learned after attending this class we should try to apply to situations that come into existence From what has been practiced will make one more perfect.

Road to Final

 After presenting the role play video, I learned and gained some important things from what Dr Fa has told us. It really helps us to understand what we should do in the live session later. Not only that, I can also improve my skills in conducting a better counselling session later. Let's get ready for the real role play and final. Hope the best for everyone and good luck for upcoming final. #RoadToFinal

Throwback

I feel good since first entering into this class,  the class is basic helping skills class. This class taught me how to be a good counselor in the future. The approach Dr. Fa use to teach us also fun. Among the topics most interesting to me to learn is 4 units of helping skills. In this chapter a lot of things that must be learned and practiced in  live counseling session. Among those we have learned is how to restate, pharapharase, clarifiying, checking, reflection, questioning and summerizing.
In this chapter, we also learn about Johari's window. This theory all about personality. Johari's window shows how we perceive ourself. If we can understand the Johari's window it can also help we to understands ourselves as well. It has 4 windows.  The first window is known to everyone. Ourselves and others. This is all basic information about ourselves. The second windows is kot known to self but known to others. It like how we walk from behind. Others can see but not ourselves. The third windows is known to self but not known to others. it is all about our secrets  and the last one is not known to anyone. Thats all. tq :)

MId Term Exam

A few weeks ago we had a mid term exam. For me it's quite easy and everyone seemed they can answered it. But seriously, although it's quite easy you must read it or you will regret it. Mid term exam is very important because it will carry mark for us in final exam which will be held at the end of the semester. For your information, in final exam it's not an paper exam but it's a live helping session with your client. So, you must polish your helping skills to make sure you get a flying colour  in this subject. That's all , tq .

Makmal Kausenling Individual dan Kelompok

Today, I have a appointment with senior to doing assessment. I feel so lucky because I have the chance to approach to assessment even though I am Year One first semester student. This is my first time come to makmal kauseling individual dan kelompok. When I step into the room, I found that there are some picture on the wall attract my attention. There are some motivate sentences in the picture. 

Success

"The only time when success come before works is in the dictionary."

Attention

"Learn to listen in class...it makes your homework a lot easier."

Sharing

"Two head are better than one...Learn to share with your friend things you know...and things you don't...You will learn faster this way."

Teamwork

"Together everyone archives more."

Homework

"Be consistent in doing your homework...and you will find your exam to be a breeze."

I found that the assessment is very interesting and won't lead the counseling session become boring. The senior is very friendly and patient. She state and give the instruction how to doing the assessment clearly and give me enough time to think and describe what I am seeing. This is a good experience for me to learn the proper way to conduct a assessment.
