Playing with shaving cream could be useful to draw family units or other scenarios.

Week 4: Play Therapy

This is my god daughter, Mia. This picture shows us dancing around the Georgia State Botanical Gardens. Last summer her family went through a hard time. I would take care of her during the day while her parents were working. Getting outdoors and getting in touch with her imagination through play, really helped her open up about how she was feeling.

This is a picture of my current bookshelf. While it does have my textbooks from previous classes now, I would like to have a large bookshelf in my office or at my disposal to offer books as part of bibliotherapy. After doing the bibliotherapy project and reading about expressive techniques, I see the numerous benefits that using books and stories could have for my clients.

I was interested by the storytelling technique when you have a student tell a story or write a story depending on age.  As a school counselor, I think it could even help to have stuffed animals or action figures in your office for a child to possible use as props to aid in telling their story.  These can also be used as comfort to students coming into your office who may be upset or sad or need something comforting to hug.

My 13 year old niece recently entered her artsy phase and this is a picture that she took and asked me to send to my cousin. When I was reading the chapter all I could think of was her Instagram and how she expresses her emotions through photography and her YouTube account.

I like to dance.  A lot.  I chose this picture because even though there is not a therapy (that I am aware of) that utilizes dancing, I find it very therapeutic and helpful when I am stressed out or frustrated.

Expressive Techniques- Week 3 Kristen Guske

This is a corner in my old office. I got very close to my undergrads, so when I told them I had to leave to attend graduate school in another state..they were not too pleased. Some of them stopped even acting like themselves at work, so I asked students to write a post it note about our time together. This helped them tremendously, all they needed was a medium to express how they felt. They have impacted me so much:)

I work with children that have autism and it is very hard for my group of students to express emotions, so some of the teachers and I have thought of some fun ways for them to talk about feelings. We made the headbands game into a feelings game. Where the children have to explain some of the characteristics or examples of when they were feeling an emotion within the last week, so that the student wearing the headband has to guess the emotion. It works very well with them, as they begin to explain what upsets them and what makes them happy in their daily lives!

I chose this stress ball because it is very personal to me.  Not only does it give me to squeeze when I am upset, but it reminds me to smile when I am feeling down.  I think this relates to the counseling process because I believe this is inherently our goal; to make people feel better and learn how to cope and smile even through the dark days.  Sometimes I have students even asking me if I have spares.  I am always happy to share it with them as I am sure even something small like this helps them on their worse days.

This is a big part of my practicum kit! I have some art supplies for students to be interacting with, games, and a feeling evaluation that respects the autonomy of adolescent clients.

Individual Counseling Process - Lauren Rhinehart

Having art supplies in your office as a school counselor can be helpful by giving students the opportunity to do something if they are unsure or nervous.  Coloring for small kids and even adolescents can be calming and even help them to open up and start conversation so you can start building trust and developing a rapport.

Individual Counseling Process - Week 2

I took this picture this weekend in South Florida because I felt like it represented me within the counseling profession moving closer to being a school counselor. On the outside the door is older, has obviously done its job well for a while. Like me. I have been a teacher for ten years and have had lots of experience with children/adolescents throughout. But, on the other side of this door was a brand new architectural firm, full of new furniture and modern decorations, unfamiliar to the historic neighborhood. This represents my endeavours into the counseling profession, new and sort of unfamiliar still. I hope to gain the ability to use the techniques discussed in the chapter to become as seasoned a counselor as I was a teacher.

I chose to draw a picture of a fishbowl (because I couldn't find one) to represent the idea of having a fishbowl in your office as a helpful resource for your ADHD kiddos. I thought this tip from Dr. S was genius!!!
