Trusting Mind
A poem by David
Ethical framework for the counselling professions A skilful introduction to counselling sessions With open arms, you gave us your trust Your care and attention were never unjust From thought to feelings to the way we are perceiving Our bodily actions are impermanent reactions Laid bare on your table for eyes to see Psychoanalysis, CBT, Client-Centred therapy Three levels of diversity unify a timeless present reality Breathing harmony working in unity Knowledge to free complex divided human society To focus our attention on one humanity Freedom for all internally
David has now studied the Counselling Introduction Course which is a 10 week course introducing counselling theory and skills.
Since completing the course David has now progressed to the Level 2 accredited Counselling Skills Course which runs for one year and teaches counselling communication skills and explores helping relationships. David intends on continuing with his training and would like to continue to Level 4 and beyond.
A friend suggested that David train to be a counsellor as he has a natural ability to listen and help others. As David trusts his friend, he believed in what he was told and looked for a counselling introduction course.
Since David has been attending the course, he has enjoyed every minute of his learning and feels like he is on a journey in discovering himself and learning new skills. At the time David wrote the poem, he said that the words he wrote came fluently and easily. David is enjoying the Level 2 and he is developing and growing in confidence and ability.
David thoroughly enjoys the course and is integrating his learning into his current knowledge and awareness of self. David is also new to studying online and he is growing in confidence in working virtually and interactively.
