My Collaboration Reflection

511 Words3 Pages

After learning about collaborating and engaging in a variety of collaboration through my practicum site, I have found that there are things that I identify as strengths and others as weaknesses or growth areas. One strength that I believe that I possess in regards to collaboration is my ability to build rapport with others. I have noticed this through my time at practicum this semester, because I was able to build strong, trusting relationships with staff at my site while being there for such a short amount of time. I was able to put myself out there and be myself, while creating relationships that helped me collaborate and make the most of my experience. I think that this is a very important skill to have as a counselor due to how important …show more content…

First, I have noticed that I have a hard time being assertive in both my personal life and my professional life. In practicum, there were some things that I would have liked to do differently or more independently, but I lacked the assertiveness that I needed in order to speak up about it. For example, I would have loved to go into classrooms independently while my supervisor did other work, but we were always together. On one hand I think that this was good for my to be able to follow her a lot and gain comfort, but I also think having more independence would have been beneficial as well. When I think of assertiveness, this is something that I will need to work on to become a better collaborator. As a school counselor, there are times when I am going to need to be assertive with stakeholders to make any necessary changes needed in order for benefit a student. Furthermore, another area that I have identified as a weakness is my self-confidence. I feel that this goes along with my lack of assertiveness. With that said, as I gain confidence I think that I will be able to be more assertive. Overall, there are different areas that I feel I am stronger in than others, but I feel that with more practice and exposure, I will be able to turn some of my weaknesses into strengths one

If it were to happen again, I would, again, reach out to my residential advisor and request a roommate

Although having all of those skills is still very important, being friendly, caring, understanding, and trustworthy are the skills that will help you connect with your patients. Earning the trust of your patient is crucial to all therapy processes, especially in behavior and substance abuse patients, which means being able to not judge your clients for their actions is such an important responsibility. Therefore, if the client does not trust and connect to their therapist, it is more likely they will not complete their road to recovery.

For example, I’m not a highly flexible and positive person, so I seek out to individuals who are flexible and positive in their lives and ask for their advice. Another strength that I have is that I usually have a positive outlook of my improvement, because I have seen examples of those who overcome their hardships and become successful in life, so I believe that if I try hard enough, I will be able to overcome my weaknesses.

Human beings are distinct from other animals in the sense that they can ‘think’ and deepen further understanding through ‘reflection’ – a special type of approach to problem solving, where ideas are linked and ordered carefully to resolve an issue through retrospective review (Hatton & Smith 1995, p.33 cited in Fisher 2004, p.1). Derived from late Latin reflexion- act of bending back, from Latin reflectere it indicates a kind of introspective thinking i.e. consciously reviewing our own thoughts, feelings and beliefs ‘in order to make sense of them, and to make contextually appropriate changes if they are required’ (Taylor 1999, p.2 cited in Fisher 2004, p.1). When asked to reflect, while some people simply describe about what happened, others
