I (Sahara) was the social worker in this session. Kionna was my client and Cynthia and Shannon Were the observers. The topic we discussed in this session was stress, balancing work, family and School. Kionna was very overwhelmed in this session when we were discussing her home life. She felt like she was doing a lot at home but it wasn’t being appreciated by her husband. We Discussed some coping skills and what she can do to get prioritized on some issues, we discussed how She doesn’t have to do everything. She’s human and just some things just aren’t going to get done in life. Kionna felt like as soon as she gets done with school, then her life will be much better. Her husband will Appreciate her more, her kids will be a little older, and then she will have an income to bring to the Table. Being the social worker for this session, has allowed me to see the importance of having active listening Skills and being able to ask the questions my client needed me to ask her. I am still working on not being Shy and being more open to people. So this was a learning experience for me. I asked the questions And did allow her to answer them, I just needed to listen more and speak slowly as the bible tells us In James 1:19 “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger” Some of the Pressing issues kionna was speaking on, I also was going through in my marriage. I wanted so badly To share but didn’t want to disclose to much of my personal journey. I have learned that social workers Who disclose personal information inappropriately can damage a client . I have also learned that I cant get Hung up on my feelings about receiving negative feedback from a client. Wondering how and what The client is thinking negatively about me. I have to just have to use the skills that I have been taught To use to become a successful social worker. Giving Kionna some self care tools can also help me in my Life with some coping skills. The supervision and consultation would have made me more nervous I think. Without them on the Camera I was comfortable. In my intensive class a couple of weeks ago, our professor was there but Turned her camera off, we knew she was there and we wanted to do a great job . Having her listen to Us was good but not seeing her was better. A intervention I would use with my client would be maybe asking more open-ended questions and Allowing her to take her time in answering them. Setting some goals she can accomplish to help Manage her stressors. In conclusion to my session , I need to realize that I am here to help her on her journey. I am there to listen and guide her to the resources and tools she needs. Being in this class has taught me to accept me For who I am. I am still learning and growing. I was to critical at first now I know that I will get more skills as I progress on. Referemce The Holy Bible (2011) New International Version Biblica, Inc. (Original publication 1973) Shulman, L.
