And I wonder if this would give me a segue to asking about \u201csoft Sara.\u201d\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n12:30\tSo, Sara is saying she is \u201cloosening up,\u201d getting comfortable, and experimenting with how she is in counseling sessions.  I think I can relate this to \u201csoft Sara\u201d?\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n12:50\tSo, it seems she has given me the opening, thank you!, and so I want to ask about \u201csoft Sara.\u201d\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n13:15\tHmmm, she is talking about soft Sara.  Cognitive; her go-to.  I wish I had asked that question in a softer voice, inviting that part of Sara into the room, to talk to me from that place.  I need to look for an opportunity to do that.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n14:00\tI need to let her think through this and look for my opening to invite soft Sara into the room.  Be quiet and observe and listen.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n14:25\tSay \u201csoft Sara\u201d in a softer voice.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n14:28\tAh, soft Sara is vulnerable Sara.  So, there is some of the reluctance to be soft Sara.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n14:48\tShe is saying soft Sara is close, accessible\u2026  Point out the connection between soft and vulnerable as a first step to trying to get to soft Sara.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n14:55\tMake soft Sara more visible, real.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n15:30\tSoft Sara allows instincts; less overthinking; that\u2019s good.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n16:00\tI\u2019m ready to connect this to her reflection of client sadness in the counseling session.  Need to make this more concrete; not sure she\u2019s making the connection I have in mind.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n16:45\tYeah, that makes sense.  Connect it specifically to emotions.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n17:00\tDoes Sara think this would work with the client?\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n17:40+I want to challenge Sara to try.  I want to affirm her knowledge of the client, yet challenge her.  I want to think aloud, think through what might happen\u2026although I\u2019m also not sure what might happen. (Note. The client sometimes sits on the floor during counseling sessions.)\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n19:00\tI need to own that this is my goal with the client.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n19:25\tI am having an image; I\u2019m going to share, as Sara often uses metaphors herself.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n20:00\tI need to stop talking and hear her response\/thoughts.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n20:20\tShe\u2019s thinking about it.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n20:45\tOk, let\u2019s ask her directly around doing this.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n21:05\tNice metaphor that connects to counseling language.  Keep that metaphor going.  \r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n21:30\tAffirm that Sara has done some of this, as well as what has happened.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n22:00\tAffirm this physical-based connection.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n22:10\tSo, gonna do it?\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n22:15\tDidn\u2019t ask that well.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n22:25\tInteresting.

the evidence is right there.\u00a0 This type of intervention sometimes is also a needed reminder to be aware of and observe one\u2019s client, as relatively new counselors often get lost in their own thoughts instead.\u00a0 Client \u201cfeedback\u201d through their responses \u2013 verbal and nonverbal &#8211;

Ha.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n36:05\tThe client this afternoon, a way to practice starting differently.  Illustrate immediacy.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n36:30\tWow, this is really hard for her.  What else am I going to need to do to help her with this?  Listen for clues.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n36:50\tLet her think herself through this.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n37:15\tI want to challenge her to try this with the client this afternoon.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n37:25\tMake the analogy to the intake and how that can suggest to the client that counseling will be question\/answer.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n37:50\tBring all this back to the client.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n38:00\tPut the emphasis on Sara trying something different, seeing what happens.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n38:15\tThe immediacy examples struck a chord with her.  Hmm, a self-critical statement.  I think ignore that; go with the challenge to try something different.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n38:27\tShe\u2019s really thinking hard.  Use immediacy.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n38:45\tNot sure what this is about, where it is going.  Be quiet and listen and let her think aloud.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n39:20\tI think she needs something concrete here to interrupt her thinking.  Pull out the ORS form and help her think about how to use that.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n39:55\tGive her a couple of examples.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n40:15\tState in terms of curiosity about client\u2019s response, as opposed to her \u201cfear\u201d of starting this way.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n40:25\tShe\u2019s applying this to herself also.  Good.  Buying in.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n40:55\tIs she feeling overwhelmed?  Too much today about what she needs to change?  What have I said about what she did well?\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n40:58\tState something positive around reflection of feelings, a goal she\u2019s been working on.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n41:02\tGood she heard that.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n41:25\tShe\u2019s remembering a time she could have used immediacy.

May have to go at this more concretely?\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n43:05\tShe\u2019s processing her motivations.  Something here I can use? \r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n43:22\tNo, that\u2019s not what I meant.  Correct.  Go at this differently.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n43:40\tShe\u2019s thinking about this sort of abstractly.

She\u2019s not hearing heavy criticism.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n44:00\tOk.  She\u2019s getting it.

Give her some positive feedback about her work in this session.  I\u2019ve challenged her a lot today.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n45:00\tLook for more examples of positive work to share with her.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n45:20\tAh, a metaphor comes to mind for client that says good work is happening.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n45:35\tOk.  Go back to ending the session and connect to this client.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n45:38\tNote that even if she asks, this client may not act differently, so not all Sara\u2019s responsibility.  Want her to hear that in case it doesn\u2019t go well.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n45:53\tHa, she\u2019s connecting back to hostess Sara.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n46:15\tShe needs reassurance?\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n46:30\tLet her continue to own the positive aspects of hostess Sara.

I appreciated the space Dr. Borders gave me to process my experience in the counseling session and to consider some &#8220;what-ifs,&#8221; and I valued her encouraging tone and attention to detail. I felt as if Dr. Borders was becoming frustrated when she asked me to name a time in my &#8220;real life&#8221; when I am naturally more &#8220;soft.&#8221; (Note.\u00a0 This part of the session is not included in the recording segments shared in this module because other persons were identified.) \u00a0I wonder if she had said, &#8220;I am reaching for straws here,&#8221; or, &#8220;I&#8217;m having a hard time figuring you out right now,&#8221; if I might have gotten out my head and deeper into processing what was actually holding me back.
