Day 6 / Group Counseling / 160926

Honestly there are a lot of things that worry me the more I do counseling day after day, but this particular counseling gives me unusually little to worry about.

Everyone shows interest in the people who 'look after them.' People who receive the attention directed at them in a negative way

might do so because the amount of that attention was extremely excessive, or because continued attention usually ended in negative outcomes, but it seems there are also plenty of people for whom that is not the case.

When I connect to counseling theory the process in which someone empathizes with my response A, someone else restates it, and someone else adds their own experience and talks about it, for some people solution-focused counseling seems more effective, and for others person-centered counseling theory seems more effective. Well, anyway, everyone tends to say things like 'aim for self-actualization' or 'have the courage to be disliked.'
