Due Thursday October 26, 2023 by 11:00 pm

Must Read Everything: 

Reply to at least two classmate’s posts, applying the RISE Model for Meaningful Feedback

I will also show an example below of how the response needs to be addressed.

Here’s an example of how the response should look. Please don’t copy it. 

The response to the classmate need to be just like this. 

Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)

RISE Feedback:

REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.

INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are? 

SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts. 

ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…”  for a more weighted argument?

Why do you think that it is important for counselors to be aware of transference dynamics when they are doing counseling?

            Being able to understand and be aware of transference allows counselors to be aware of how themselves or a client are affecting each other. Many times, people redirect emotions or feelings about one person to an entirely separate individual. Students may respond to the counselor’s personality traits, appearance, style, or behavior which may remind them of a significant person in the past. As a counselor being aware if we are transferring on to a student is super important because they could remind us of someone else and we treat them differently. Examples are taking a student under our wing and going way out of our way to help them because they remind us of our own kid or being extra harsh or not really engaging in a student because they remind us of a behavior kid, we once had but they are not those kids, and we have to be aware of redirected emotions and treating all students in the same manner.

 How might cultural issues affect counter transference and boundaries?

            Cultural issues may affect transference due to communication, different values, and beliefs. When it comes to boundaries many different cultures see boundaries differently. Some have no boundaries and families are in everyone’s business, living on top of each other and personal space is not a thing where other cultures value privacy, space, and respect of oneself needs. The biggest issue that comes about are misconceptions, not understanding what is not normal to ourselves.

How does monitoring counter transference and using evidence-based practices help to create safety and trust?

            By being able to be in touch with our feelings and beliefs we can notice when a student is making us feel a certain way and give us the ability to check ourselves in order to make sure we do not ruin the trust and relationship we have with students. Being aware of we can work through our transference or needing to have someone else help a student is also important. We cannot do what’s in the best interest of our students if we are being triggered by them.

Why do you think that it is important for counselors to be aware of transference dynamics when they are doing counseling?

Transference is a psychological phenomenon where individuals unconsciously redirect emotions and feelings to another person (GoodTherapy, 2023). It can occur in therapy when someone applies romantic feelings or expectations onto the therapist. Transference patterns often reflect early relationships or past experiences. There are various types of transference, including paternal, maternal, sibling, non-familial, and sexualized. I t is important to be aware so see how the client might view you. For instance when I worked with foster young adult, most viewed me as a mom or parent. It would be positive and negative. Some trusted me and ask for real life advice. Some viewed me as mom would call my work cell for every little issue but it was that took boundaries on my parent to have them be more independent. It can also be negative, I had a coworker who’s client would call her a unkind word of the lady of the night, because she resembled his mom who was a sex worker. The poor kid took the anger of his absent mom out on his caseworker.  

•    How might cultural issues affect counter transference and boundaries?

Culture can play a role on how close a client might be willing to be go to you. Collectivist cultures or those with close contact might not be afraid to come up and close up to a counselor for help. Where as some cultures, they may be reluctant to ask for help so you might need to pull those students out to check on, cause they may never come up to you. There are cultures such as Native Americans who conversate side by side no eye contact. Some cultures do not look in the eye to older adults. As a counselor we must be aware of these differences, so when encountering a student who does not want to look at us in the eye or does not want to share, we do not take it the wrong way. 
•    How does monitoring counter transference and using evidence-based practices help to create safety and trust?

Piggy backing off the top paragraphs monitoring counter transference and boundaries is vital. Meshing that with evidence based practice, allows for us to be aware of what happening. It allows us to have better and meaningful conversations. Thus, create safe place for conversation and build relationships.
