How does the counseling process become an educational process?

Answer 1

Well, without knowing the reason behind the question, I would assume that it is essential for one to know ones self in order to participate in behavioral health.
We all have "issues" and personalities that we bring into others lives, regardless of how hard we try not to...
It is imperative that we are insightful about our own behaviors in order for us to be able to be helpful to those who come to us for help.
By doing so, we not only learn about ourselves and the process(which is integral when relating to our clients) we are able to engage wight more empathy and know that we are all in need of some support. Right?!
Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Sometimes after many years of counseling the person has come to an understanding and learned to deal with one or many issues. Because they have benefited from good counslors and have also lived through the years of turmoil it has been an educational process-such as the term "The school of hard knocks". In this way many people who have "lived to tell their story" can be good peer counslors.

Sometiomes a counselor helps a client by explaining the problem faced and/or the process proposed for helping. In this explanatory role, the counselor becomes teacher. However, when the client understands the explanation the counselor should revert to helper and listener and facilitator.
