Week 3 Worksheet: Core Listening Skills and Reflective Journals on Personal Biases and Virtual Practice

Do you remember a time when you felt heard and accepted by another, when the gift of time freely given and loving attention nourished your soul? Although it seems a small thing, being carefully listened to and feeling truly known can be healing. This is the aim of learning to apply the core listening microskills. Counselors who master the core listening skills weave a web of safety and sanctuary for clients from the very first meeting, providing protection from being judged and the relief of truly being heard. In order to clearly hear, see, and prize each individual we meet, counselors learn to recognize the biases we all have, in order to nullify any affect, they might have

This Week 3 Worksheet engages you in written rehearsal of the core verbal microskills, provides an activity for you to reflect upon your biases, as well as the opportunity to reflect upon any virtual practice that you experienced this week.
