Study Notes
Self-Awareness
- Being self-aware helps counselors to understand their own problems and not project them onto clients.
- Counselors who are self-aware can more easily identify their "ego boundaries" which helps them differentiate between their own issues and the client's issues.
- Self-awareness can empower counselors to better deliver therapeutic interventions, as they will feel more conscious and deliberate in their actions instead of reacting spontaneously.
- Self-awareness helps in identifying stressors which allows for the development of effective coping mechanisms.
Psychotherapy and Self-Awareness
- Psychoanalysis, which is a type of talk therapy, uses free association to help patients become aware of their thoughts and memories.
- Psychoanalysis also uses dream interpretation to enhance awareness of the emotional context of experiences.
