    COUNSELLING CLASS

    What is counselling?
     Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and
    helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues

    Depression Counsellor

     To become a depression counselor you will need to go through a rather rigorous


    amount of schooling
     This includes obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree, then a Master’s Degree, and finally
    entering into a Doctorate or PhD Program
     There is a 6 month informal training for anyone (on call volunteers) stringent
    process of selection

    Mild to Moderate Depression  Depression Counsellors Counselling Therapy

    Severe Depression – Psychiatrist Counselling Therapy Medication  Institutional


    treatment

    Steps to take:
    If you know of someone who is suicidal, do not leave the person alone.
    Attempt to get them immediate help from their medical provider, hospital, or call 911.
    Hopeline Cebu’s hotline is 0917-558-2919

    Active listening skill

     I. ATTENDING SKILLS
     II. BRACKETING
     III. LEADING
     IV. REFLECTING SKILLS
     V. PROBING

    Attending skills thus refer to the way in which we use our bodies to communicate the
    message nonverbally that “I am listening to you” (or, as the term suggests, I am paying
    “attention” to you)
     Leaning towards the person
     Tilting or nodding the head
     Raising the eyebrows when the person makes an important point
     Maintaining eye to eye contact
    Poor attending skills

     Leaning backwards
     Looking away from the patient
     Crossing one’s arms--these communicate the message that one is not interested in
    what the patient is saying
     Habitually twirling pencils, scratching, or tapping our feet
     Staying too close to the person can be threatening
     Staying too far away can be interpreted as an unwillingness to get involved

    BRACKETING
     Is a mental skill
     When we listen to someone speaking to us about his problem
     we automatically want to ask for more information
     we make hypotheses in our minds as to what the problem might be
     we start thinking of what we want to say to the person once he stops talking.

    Bracketing means setting aside these feelings and thoughts and judgments temporarily so
    that there will be space in our minds and in our hearts for what the patient is really saying.

    LEADING

     There are two kinds of leads: the indirect and the direct
     Indirect leads are open invitations made by the listener for the person to talk about
    anything that he wishes
     The choice of what to talk about depends upon the person and not upon the
    listener.
     Indirect leads may consist of questions such as: “What would you like to talk about?”
    or “What can I do for you?”
     Alternatively, indirect leads can also take the form of words or phrases, such as:
    “Yes,” “Go on,” “And then?”

    REFLECTING

     In this set of skills, the listener takes the verbal content of what the person says,
    repackages and rephrases it so that it becomes clearer, and gives it back to the
    patient.
     There are two ways of doing this: paraphrasing and perception-checking
     In paraphrasing, the listener listens to what the person is saying and then, using
    fewer but clearer words, summarizes to the person what the latter has just said.
     Another way of putting it would be “to summarize in 10 words what it took the
    patient a hundred words to say.”
     Persons who are confused or emotionally pained often struggle to articulate what is
    happening to them and what they say may be muddled up precisely because of that
    pain and confusion.

    PROBING

     Probes are questions that are asked in order to elicit more information
     How does that make you feel?
    Can you tell me more about that feeling?
    What is it that makes you feel that way the most?
