Person centred counselling came about due to their only being two other therapeutic models, psychoanalysis and behaviourism. Behaviourism focused on conditioning that produces behaviour, where psychoanalysis focused on the unconscious drive that motivates people.

I believe that it is important that I display high priority on such incorporation because it is indicated that the BCRs represent the support for the future group facilitator assignment of this semester. The BCRs that I observed taking place in any setting is in my apartment with my friend. The BCRs that I intentionally incorporated into any interactions, in any setting is utilizing discretionary for self-disclosing and passive for paraphrasing. It is indicated that self-disclosing is which the delicate decision of when and how to share with the client intended to benefit the client. An example of self-disclosing,…

Further in this paper I will discuss my personal counseling theory and how I believe that not one person has to be ruled by a certain circumstance and that they are not by any means validated by one person because they have the opportunity to discover meaning in their life for themselves and discover an array of opportunities in life.…
This was one of the components that was very difficult for me to obtain. Ms. Wescott wanted me to gain as much experience as I could as a counseling student.
