Course # 5380
Counseling Around the Edges

Practical examples

Important topic more SLPs need to be informed about.

Unique format, important subject

It helped me to understand the underlying principles of counseling, especially as they relate to working with clients.

It confirmed and clarified how to interact with clients and families to get the best results and support.

Very pragmatic

clear, concise.

Well presented, thought provoking

it reinforced some things that i am doing, it also seems to go well with the "scripting treatment" course that i listened to earlier this week

Provided adequate/appropriate information for the listener

materials, compassion, easy language, applies to our practice, presentation, thank you

The presenter specfically related the information to how the SLP can incooperate the skills in therapy related to the pt and their families.

As Aretha said, "R-E-S-P-E-C-T." It gave an authority's imprimatur to something I always believed. Organized. Some of it very funny... the main example, in an abysmal way. And it's good to show that this skill can be modeled + learned. Important for clinic supervisors. Some folks are so time + data driven, that the empathy never surfaces. Some folks ? just don't have integration of empathy, affect, + cognition? And may never. Personal belief is this may be a cognitive and interactive style, but some day we will find out that it is hard wired. So, even those who can learn it as a skill will be acting. It will never be a style, because it is unnatural to those individuals. Oops, kind of overran that one + did not really answer the question, which was asked.

This information gets to the crucial core of counseling and our role no matter what populations we serve!

Dr. Holland was able to make a few important concepts clear that will be of great benefit to many in a short amount of time. With such a large topic, it can be hard to whittle the subject manner down to a few important kernels of information.

It confirms for me what I have been doing does come "naturally," and there should be counseling courses for all therapist whatever field..we are dealing with lives.

Great applicable information

Good content and presentation well organized

Audrey Holland is an outstanding professional and teacher. She tried to break out the most salient points of a good counselor in a brief period of time.

I enjoyed the personal examples.

Loved this presenter!!! Very smooth presentation and excellent information!!

The content helped to focus/strengthen my compass as to the most important things to listen for and provide in counseling moments. Very concise and 'real world' while still promoting excellence in how we interact with our clients/familymembers. Thank you for this presentation!

I enjoyed the embedded examples!

encouraging to know I'm actually doing some of those things!

applicable to all areas of life

the presentation of the information and the presenter's willingness to share her experience and point of view

Real examples and tips provided

It provided me with a good basic understanding of how to counsel clients and provided me with resources to sharpen my skills.

"Start where they are' is a key aspect of my 'metaphor.' Even if we cannot solve a client's issue, the sheer act of connecting and seeing provides a more solid basis for effective interventions.

The material presented will help in all areas of speech therapy with all clients. Very useful information presented in such a way that can be applied in any therapy session with any age client. This presentation really brought into light how important it is to establish rapport with your clients and see them as people with specific and varying needs.

Easy to understand

excellent message, well said.

Interesting.

NEW TOPIC

all of the pertinent info.

This course was so well presented!! Very interesting!!!

Helpful considerations when working with our clients...ideas that I can employ in practice.

Veyr basic information that is readily applied.

new, valuable info

Good reminder how to incorporate counseling during tx

Reminds us of what is really important in terms of a client/therapist relationship.

said a lot of things i have struggled over for years.

I liked the examples provided of how to approach a client and their family.

Relevant use of examples and good references.

This is a topic with little research or training, yet I need to utilize these skills in all of my treatment sessions. I am grateful to the presenter for providing this information.

Audrey Holland was one of the first people that I studied 32 years ago and and here she is again. It's nice to know she is still going on and can inform me.

practicality

Good content that is clinically true.

Grateful for a presentation dealing with these aspects of aphasia therapy, so crucial to quality practice.

Dr. Holland's presentaton style draws the listener into the content in a way not usually occurring in workshops. She is so personable and knowledgable.

I loved the fact that she discussed metaphors and how we approach our clients. It is so important to realize that our clients are people and that's how we should treat them.

It was very pertinent to what all of us as clinicians face in our work. We can also practice these methods outside of the clinical setting which should make us better listeners in general and so this course can help us both in and out of our work setting.

I like the recorded and interaction ability of the course.

pace, approach, use of pause and emphasis...all good

It was challenging.
