Counseling Strategies and InterventionsAs you begin the process of understanding the role of helper and as you acquire the necessary skills required for effective helping, you will come to realize that the ultimate goal is to develop your abilities to the point that they are a natural extension of your existing interpersonal skills. But this will not be the case in the beginning. The interventions and even the conceptualizations may seem unnatural, inconsistent with your existing behaviors, or inappropriate. As you become more accomplished in the craft of counseling, these counseling skills will begin to feel more comfortable, appropriate, and effective. Ultimately, they will become a natural part of your professional practice. |
