Counselee Mike
Counselor NauriceMoffet
Life changing career opportunities have opened up. Married once before,
with children. Got remarried is in love and reports his current wife is patient.
Enjoyed past job in Indiana as a Christian camp maintenance. Wife feels taken
advantage of since she was doing so many different things for the camp while not
being an employee. She loves singing but was asked to do counseling and cleaning
and children childcare. Mike has recently moved back to Chicago and his wife is
happy singing at church. Mike works with FedEx now but doesnt feel as happy with
this position. Mike really liked the people he worked with and the cause he was
advancing.
Counselor recaps constantly empathetic listening (this was great)
This filled the session with clarity, which is immediately evident. The
counselor repeats what he is hearing so that both are clear as to what is being talked
about. The dignity of each person is upheld. I can learn from this technique, which
would help me clarify my own thoughts and communicate and make explicit what it
is Im picking up on and what it is Im missing. Being clear as to what is being picked
up on and what isnt is important for the continuation of the counseling relationship.
As the relationship solidifies the best and healthiest patterns should be promoted
alongside expectations and differences between friendships and counseling.

3/4
Mike gets an opportunity to go back to work at a Christian camp but fears
this will be too stressful for the marriage. The camp is in Arkansas. Though his wife
is hesitant shes willing to think about it. Mike thinks she should submit to him as
the head of the household. He is very unhappy working at FedEx. He acknowledges
that his wife is very happy in Chicago. Sing doesnt provide an extra source of
income but Mike sees it could become a source in the future since the church is
looking for a music minister.
Counselor says, Mike, its not just about you the push back felt judgmental
but continuing the verse was helpful. The counselor completes that verse, as
husbands submit to God and askshave you prayed?Mike reveals that he hasnt
prayed about any of his decisions because he is a man of God and that hes
unhappy about not being to have both of them be happy at the same time. I would
have repeated this back to the counselee and asked if Men of God are exempt from
prayer?
How do I make her submit? No. She has to see you submit.
[DISK DAMAGE]
Mike admits that family plans arent being presented to God.

4/4
Counselors body language is a little tense
- Hands folded and rubbing them against each other.
Slouching in couch not looking attentive and staring at Mike oddly but seems to
become aware of his posture and changes his posture and disposition.
- Counselors odd face is picked up by Mike. This could be because of a close
relationship in which facial expressions are clearly understood by counselee or
awkwardness since counselee cant pick up on the thoughts behind the faces.
Counselor interjects with an accusative tone
but you told me there hasnt been any conversation or prayer
- At 19:50 counselor exhales in a ridicule sort of way but Mike admits that his ex-
wife commented about his lack of consultation in family decisions as well.
Counselor gives vague advice
its give and take youre not the center of attention.Seems like some comments are rehashing psycho pop clich phrases. It seemed
like the Counselor was trying to artificially make aha moments of insight.
Counselor recaps constantly empathetic listening (this was great)
