Identifying underlying feelings that your clients might be experiencing, yet unable to identify for themselves, can be a challenge. But it is an important part of the counseling process. Assisting the clients to process their emotional connections to their stories can be the therapeutic key to healing. This also connects with the counselor’s holistic work with clients. For this reason, the first part of this module’s assignment begins with identifying emotional (i.e., feeling) words that can be grounded in five core feeling words: angry, sad, lonely, scared, and happy.Additionally, it is beneficial for counselors to be encouraging within the counseling session. However, counselors do not compliment but encourage by recognizing effort and process, and noticing how they “are” with their clients. To understand this phenomenon, identifying others in your life from whom you have felt encouraged and how they have done this can help you model their methods with your clients. The second part of this module’s assignment is designed for you to refine your understanding of encouragement.Tasks:For this assignment, you are to follow the directions to fill out a Feelings template. Then, you will read two articles involving encouragement and write a 3- to 4-page response.Part 1: Nothing But Feelings TemplateUsing the Nothing But Feelings Template:Complete the template’s list with at least seven feeling words under each of the five core feeling categories (happy, sad, angry, lonely, and scared).Determine and include an additional five ambivalent or mixed feelings (or phrases) not already listed as examples in the template. Provide a description of what you have heard people say.Identify five metaphor statements and the basic core feelings that underlie each (i.e., happy, sad, angry, scared, and lonely). Write a brief justification as to why you sense this core feeling would underlie the metaphor.Part 2: EncouragementFirst, read and analyze these two articles related to the counseling relationship:Eckstein, D., & Cooke, P. (2005). The seven methods of encouragementfor couples. The Family Journal, 13(3), 342–350.Eckstein, D., Belongia, M., & Elliott-Applegate, G. (2000). The fourdirections of encouragement within families. The Family Journal,8(4), 406–415.Now, complete the following in 3–4 pages:Identify two significant people in your life who have encouraged you in a positive way. Without mentioning specific/actual names, describe what each did/said and/or how he or she interacted with you (specific examples are required).Explain what resulted from their encouragement that has affected you positively today as the person you are (or career direction, etc.). Connect your relationship to theirs, as in the article by Eckstein, Belongia, and Elliott-Applegate (2000). Keep in mind that these levels do not have to be within a family structure.Connecting to Eckstein and Cooke’s (2005) article, identify the method(s) each of your two special people in your life demonstrated. Provide an explicit explanation to support your thoughts.Discuss your understanding of encouragement as a counseling skill. Explain how you might use these experiences to provide encouragement to your clients.Discuss the pros and cons that might result from implementing encouragement. Be mindful that encouraging and complimenting are not the same.Your response document will be a Microsoft Word document written in APA format, and should be approximately 3–4 pages in length.

Students will review two cases and respond to the following questions applying course readings and additional references from reliable resources to have well-rounded content.Case 1: TonyTony is a 36-year-old female. She has had a partner for the past 3 years and has three children (ages 18, 10, and 2), two of whom are from a previous relationship. During her intake interview, she presented herself as clean, meticulously dressed and was overweight. She fidgeted constantly with her clothes and picked at her fingernails. She avoided eye contact during the session. She recently graduated from college. Tony reported general dissatisfaction with her life. She stated that her life is uneventful and predictable and she feels some panic over reaching her late 30s. For the past 2 years she has had a range of psychosomatic complaints, including sleep disturbance, anxiety, dizziness, heart palpitations, and headaches. Tony complained that she cries easily over trivial matters, often feels depressed, and has gained weight recently due to her worries.Case 2: MiaMia is a 12-year-old female who was referred by her teacher for evaluation of her social avoidant behavior and emotional outbursts. Mia lives with her mother and younger brother. She has been refusing to participate in class activities and fails to follow directions. Her teachers reported that Mia has a tendency to isolate herself from others in the class and refuses to participate in any class activity. Her mother indicated that other children make fun of Mia. Her mother is very reluctant to have Mia assessed, and stated that she does not want any “test telling her that her daughter is crazy.”Address the following questions in doc.Define assessment and discuss how you believe it is related to the general counseling process with each of the above clients.What questions would you include as part of an intake interview for each client? Moreover, what responses do you anticipate? (Responses to this question may influence how you respond to some questions below.)Describe each client’s mental status using a mental status examination.Based on your intake interview and mental status examination, what factors and issues do you feel need to be addressed for each client?You have described that the client would benefit from some testing. What are some reasons for testing each client?Which evaluation tools will you utilize and why? (Consider both formal and informal, structured and unstructured tools.) How will you determine whether the tools are appropriate for each client?What are the advantages and disadvantages of the tools you selected for each client?How would you go about preparing for and executing the assessment process? Specifically, what will you tell the clients?What are the legal, ethical, and/or moral issues in each case?What are some potential multicultural and social justice considerations in each case?
