Crystal, you made an excellent observation that there may be a language barrier. It is important to ask the client if they feel they need an interruptor. In your discussion you made mention of paradoxical intervention as I did in my discussion. The use of paradoxical interventions, could allow each member to understand the perception of the other person and reduce the degree of conflict (Gerhard, 2014). Furthermore, reframing the problem to show the love that each member have for each other and the desire to please the other can hopefully minimize the tension. The ultimate goal is to open the line of communication for the family with hopes they can listen and understand the different perspectives each of them present.

Specifically, I found it extremely hard to “quiet myself” and let the client really express his point of view. One of my coping strategies for self-perceived awkward situations is to talk a lot and carried over to my interviewing techniques. Whenever I would be asking Ian a question, I would try to explain my question with more questions. For example, whenever I inquiring about Ian’s relationship with his family, I asked him how his relationship was with his sister, who he was closet with, and if he liked his sister all at once, thus he only was able to answer one of these questions due to probably feeling overwhelmed. I did not really provide the needed calm and silent environment to allow him to answer questions one at a time.

Furthermore, the clients cannot readily judge the appropriateness of the counselling dynamics for themselves and need guidance (Webb, 1997). Their expectations can be largely based on cultural norms, or influenced by their vulnerability and intimacy when entering the counselling relationship. Because of the vagueness, many counsellors struggle with establishing appropriate boundary as it can easily lead to confusion and mismanagement. (Webb, 1997).
