Topic 5 DQ 1: What do you find most beneficial about your current supervision? What more would you hope to get out of your supervisory experience? These are my main points : The assessment, sasi, asam that I am using usually takes about 2 hours. Even after the whole packet is done, it still takes 2 or 3 sessions for the client to have a good rapport with me. I have gone back into the assessment and added items as the client divulged them later in sessions. It is about building trust which many take as a given but is inaccurate. Each client will be different in how long it takes for them to really begin to trust the counselor enough to be totally honest and many times this is dependent upon the issues they have. For some, it can take as long as six to twelve months before you finally know what the significant details are of the experiences a client has had. Helping clients discover their triggers is really an important part of the process. Relapse does not come out of the blue, there is always something that starts the cycle. Often clients are unaware of what their triggers are, but once the trigger is discovered and accepted, the client can then make the decision which path they want to follow. Topic 5 DQ 2: In what ways have you interacted with other counselors or staff at your site (do not use any names of people from the site)? Explain. Name at least two clinical strategies you have learned from your peers/supervisor. How have they helped you in your practice? These are my main points : Not sure. Topic 5 DQ 3: Many times, the types and acuity of disorders often impact the counselor’s level of exhaustion. How might the client population you see affect your stress level? Explain. These are my main points : I work in a prison, with substance abuse ( drugs/ alcohol / selling ) inmates. They are a non-lethal inmate, 5 years or less. I teach relapse prevention, substance abuse, triggers / coping skills, meditation classes.

Then watch this five-minute clip from a 2007 exclusive ABC News interview with former CIA agent-turned whistleblower John Kiriakou.In this difficult-to-find video, Kiriakou, who would later serve time in prison for whistleblowing, became the first CIA operative to confirm the USA's use of torture at Guantanamo Bay.

Additionally, take a look at the lyrics of this song written by the country band formerly known as the Dixie Chicks. The women of the Dixie Chicks were very vocal in their criticism of the impending invasion of Iraq and the main singer made a statement at a concert in the UK about her embarrassment that President Bush was from her home state of Texas. The Dixie Chicks were quickly blacklisted by country music broadcasters and conservative groups in the US. They received death threats for years, with one famous letter telling them to "shut up and sing" or they would be killed. The Dixie Chicks ended up apologizing for the anti-Bush comment. They also penned the following song, "Not Ready to Make Nice," in 2006 about the controversy. Q.
