Palm Beach State College Practicum Intensive Experience Essay

 

Your Intensive Experience packed 4 days with critical face-to-face instruction on core and advanced counseling skills. During the experience, you were spending a significant amount of time taking part in important skill-development activities and preparing for upcoming sessions.

With all of this taking place, it can be extremely difficult to stop, take a moment, and analyze what you’ve been learning in an objective fashion. Setting aside time immediately following this experience allows you the opportunity to reflect on this critical process. This pause allows you to integrate what you’ve learned into your professional identity and dispositions, and provides you with a firm foundation that you can continue to extend and develop.

For this Discussion, you will reflect on your Intensive Experience. You will describe your experiences during the 4 days, and you will explain how you plan to continue your growth as a counseling professional.

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on your Intensive Experience and consider the skill-development practice you received as well as the critical feedback.
  • Submit a post that describes what you got out of your Intensive Experience, and how you grew both personally and professionally as you continue your journey toward becoming a professional mental health counselor.
  • Provide a reflection of your experience in Pre-Practicum. Be sure to address how it felt to be a part of a group during the Intensive Experience and how this might relate to client experiences during group counseling.
  • Identify two strategies you will use to continue practicing skills until the next milestone and explain why you selected these strategies.
