Yes, I feel secure in revealing information concerning myself to certain trusted family members and friends than to a Human Service Professional. I grew up in a household where professional services were sort of taboo. Since I started taking classes in the field of human services I understand the importance of self-help as far as seeking professional counseling so I can exceed at being a Human Service Professional. Also, how can I expect somebody to trust me with their life intimate details if I’m not willing to trust the profession I am entering.
2. Discuss how trust plays a role in the Human Service Professional’s role when working with clients?
Trust is one of the main ingredients in the clinician
and client relationship. “As a clinician, you need to be authentic, honest, and “real”, not phony or pretentious, saying what you mean and meaning what you say. Genuineness fosters trust and closeness in the work together.”
