value differences exist.
Why a career in professional counseling?
Without understanding our own issues, we cannot be an effective counselor.
-Potential motivators:
1. Some people want to make a difference in this world, they are altruistic.
2. Some people have a need to take care of others., they need to be needed.
3. Some people see themselves as problem solvers, they believe they are good listeners and advice
givers.
4. Some people have made a career shift from another profession.
5. Some people have been in counseling themselves and want to become counselors as a result.
6. Some counselors want positions of status and influence; they have a need for power and control
that they believe can be met by helping others.
7. Some people believe that they can make high-paying incomes.
8. Some people have problems that they need addressed.
How well do you know yourself?
-You may have multiple motivators. They can change over time.
TFAC ( Thoughts, feeling, actions, and context):We need to become a reflective practitioner. Integrate
what I learn and apply it to learn into behaviors, attitudes, and counseling skills.
Journal

informaiton on past experiences. Once you have considered your point of view, work toward
understanding what others might be experiencing.
