The first
session of individual counseling provides you
the opportunity to present your primary
concern(s) together with a general picture of
yourself. Expectations regarding the
responsibilities and commitments of the
counselor and counselee are clarified. You may
expect attention to your story, understanding
for your experience, compassion for painful
issues, and respectful exploration of thoughts
and behaviors which are hurtful to yourself or
others.
You will be
provided a notebook designed for you to track
your own progress, noting insights gained,
skills established, and areas for further work.
Each subsequent session
will build upon work done in the previous
sessions, integrating concerns that emerge in
the course of daily life.
