Which Role Was The Hardest For You To Play And Why

1. Which role was the hardest for you to play and why? Which was easiest and why?
Playing the role of the helper was the most challenging part for me. I had many times in my life that I have had to listen to my family and friends problems. Although I thought this would be easy for me, it never occurred to me that I was not doing it properly. Being in the position of the help helped me realize how hard it is to not give advice to your client. I had to learn that it is not my job to solve the problem, but to help the client solve their problems out by helping them figure out their emotions. I was also hard for me to figure out what to say without being redundant or going around in circles. Listening to the client made me fill that the conversation was going nowhere. Nothing changed with her emotions, it was almost like she did not care to fix the problem and no one around her didn’t

Observing the conversation without actually being in it gave me an inside look for both sides. I saw that the helper struggled also while the client seen helpless. Later in the role playing it began to get easier because we were all learning how to do it the correct way.
2. What strengths did you and/ or your observer note during this activity and how do you plan to continue these in the future?
Being the observer I was able to look at the situation without actually partaking in it. Doing this role play I found that this was my strongest point. I was able to have a better understanding with the client’s problem because I didn’t have to give the feedback. Just listening will give you a better outlook on the situation because you hear all that the client have to say. This will be the most important task I will have to carry out in my career. It’s important for me to fully understand the problem before engaging with the situations.
