The first Class

21/09/2021

Wow what a first day.

Each lecturer from the course did a short lecture, they all seem great.

I'm really excited about the course, it seems to cover lots and I will update you as I learn.

One thing that was abundantly clear is I really need to start journaling.

This was something that was encouraged on the level three but really is a necessity for this course. Self-curiosity and looking within are essential to being a counsellor, and you will forever be asking yourself questions once you go down that path.

Here are a few journal prompts to begin your self reflection;

🍁What makes me feel comfortable/ uncomfortable?

🍁What annoys me?

🍁When am I most me, who am I with when I’m most me? How do they make me feel?

🍁When was the last time I was truly me?

🍁When do I hide parts of myself, who am I with 🍁🍁When I do this and why?

🍁What type of person am I?

🍁What type of person do I want to be?

🍁What type of therapist do I want to be?

You don’t even need to write these questions down but you might want to ask yourself them and think about the answer. It’s not often that we inwardly reflect or challenge ourselves.
