Empathy

important skills Leading
which we will cover Responding
briefly. Each is Self Disclosure
considered a “micro- Immediacy
skill” which you will
Humor
need to develop
during the clinical Confrontation
sequence of the Respect
counselor training Genuineness
program. Self disclosure
54. Empathy
You want to build
the relationship with
the client through all
the previously
mentioned skills. Yet
all these skills will be
hindered without the
use of empathy.
55. Empathy
According to Rogers (1961)…
This is the ability to enter the client’s
phenomenological world, to experience the
client’s world as if it were your own without
ever losing the ‘as if’ quality.
It involves two specific skills:
Perception/understanding of what is taking
place emotionally.
The ability to communicate your understanding
of that to your client.
56. Moving the Client—Leading
To “lead” the client forward in a session.
They include using silence, acceptance,
paraphrasing, etc…
Be aware of how you lead and where you
are going. You are working on the client’s
issues, not your issues, or what you think
the client should be working on.
57. Moving the Client—Leading
Restatement of content
Reflection of content
Reflection of feeling
Minimal Encouragers: “I see” or “uh huh”
General Encouragers: Direct client talk more
on a specific topic, e.g., “Please say some more
about…”
Encouragement/Support
Therapeutic Silence
58. Responding Styles
Counseling is often perceived as just
focusing on feelings. This is not true.
While counseling helps people work
through feelings; how one responds and
communicates with others will effect how
the counselor responds to the client.
59. Responding Styles
Affective Responding.
Focusing on feelings.
Behavioral Responses.
Focusing on actions and behaviors.
Cognitive Response.
Focusing on thoughts and cognitions.
You will balance these throughout the session with a client.
60. Self-Disclosure
Self-disclosure is making oneself
known to another person (the client)
by revealing personal information.
Counselors self-disclosure is only
necessary as it relates to the therapeutic
process.
Too much self-disclosure hinders the
counseling process, while not enough,
may inhibit the client from forming a
bond with the counselor.
61. Immediacy
This involves a counselor’s
understanding and
communicating of what is going on
between the counselor and client within
the helping relationship. There are 2
types:
Relationship immediacy. (Between client &
counselor)
“Here & Now” immediacy focuses on some
particular event in the session.
62. Humor
Humor can have a
positive effect on the
counseling process when
used properly.
It must be used with
sensitivity and timing. It
does not demean and is
supportive.
A session is not a time to
try out a new joke heard
at lunch.
63. Confrontation
This is not skill at putting the
client down for doing something wrong!!
This is an invitation to the client to look
more closely at behavior that is not
working or interfering with growth,
change, or healthy functioning.
A Challenge…
64. Confrontation
Before you confront someone you want
to make sure the relationship is strong
and able to withstand the challenge of the
confrontation.
Example: “You have said you want to
change this behavior but it seems you
keep doing it over and over again. Help
me to understand what is going on and
how repeating this pattern is helpful to
you.”

68. Preparatory stage :- Attending
2) Skill of attending physically 4)Skills of listening
3) Skills of observing.
When working with a S.O.L.E.R.
client, you want to send a
message that you are
listening.
This can be done by being
attentive both verbally
(responding to the client) and
nonverbally.
SOLER is an acronym
which serves to remind us
how to listen.
69. S: Face the client squarely; that is, adopt a posture that
indicates involvement.

ground to begin with and with your hands folded, one
over the other.
L: As you face your client, lean toward him or her. Be
aware of their space needs.
E: Maintain eye contact. Looking away or down
suggests that you are bored or ashamed of what the
client is saying. Looking at the person suggests that

74. Termination of a Session
There is no great secret to
ending sessions. There
are some guidelines:
Start and end on time.
Leave 5 minutes or so for a summary of the
session.
Introduce the end of the session normally (“Our
time is coming to a close.”).
Assign homework.
Set up next appointment.
75. Termination of the
Relationship
Termination is the end of the professional
relationship with the client when the session
goals have been met.
A formal termination serves three functions:
Counseling is finished and it is time for the client to
face their life challenges.
Changes which have taken place have generalized
into the normal behavior of the client.
The client has matured and thinks and acts more
effectively and independently.
76. Timing of Termination
There is no one answer when termination is to
take place. Questions you may wish to ask
yourself concerning termination include:
Have clients achieved behavioral, cognitive, or
affective goals?
? Can clients concretely show where they have made
progress in what they wanted to accomplish?
? Is the counseling relationship helpful?
? Has the context of the initial counseling
arrangements changed?
77. Resistance to Termination
Clients & Counselors may not want
counseling to end. In many cases this
may be the result of feelings about the
loss and grief or insecurities of losing the
relationship.
For clients, this is something to process.
For counselors, this is an issue for
supervision.
78. Premature Termination
Client.
Many clients may end counseling before all
goals are completed. This can be seen by not
making appointments, resisting new
appointments, etc… It is a good idea to try
and schedule a termination/review session
with the client so closure may take place. At
this time a referral may be in order.
79. Premature Termination
Counselors.
At times, counselors have to end counseling
prematurely. Whatever the reason for the
termination, a summary session is in order
and referrals are made, if appropriate, to
another counselor.
80. Referrals
At times, a counselor needs to make a
referral. When this is done, specific
issues need to be addressed with the
client:
Reason for the referral.
Note specific behaviors or actions which
brought the need for a referral.
Have the names of several other counselors
ready for referral.
You cannot follow up with the new counselor
to see if the client followed through
(Confidentiality issue).
81. Follow-Up
At times, a follow-up may be scheduled
for various reasons including evaluation,
research, or checking-in with client.
Follow-ups need to be scheduled so as to
not take the responsibility of change
away from the client.
82. CONCLUSION
Guidance & counseling enjoys a dominant
role in the present day education system. It helps the
students to acquire ability which promote self-
direction & self-realization.
Guidance & counseling have three fold functions
namely adjustmental, orientational and
developmental which are needed to maintain a
healthy climate in the educational sector.
In nursing education, it helps the teacher’s
& students to become more professional so that they
can face the challenges badly. The main purpose is to
help the students or individual to help himself.
