Focus Gais!

Assalamualaikum and hi there!

So, let us be more matured in this entry kay. I've been in UNIMAS since 2 September 2018 which is two months already passed. I became more clearer with my purpose of entering UNIMAS everyday. Each time I'm working with my assignment and studies, I learned new experiences. I notice that I become more independent and matured as I'm now in university level. However, I do face difficulty when dealing with group or even individual assignment. I tend to be so lazy to do the assignment but I still feel grateful since I'm able to control this attitude. I hope you guys can pray for me that I would overcome this bad attitude. I senses that I become more cool and brave for each presentation. I learned lots of thing while conducting the latest live helping session assignment where I find that I am good while acting conducting a counselling session as a trainee counselor. I thought I would be so bad at it. I find that all I need is courage. I learned that when one gain their courage, everything would be so smooth. I also learned that to be a courage person, ones need practice and high determination.

Regarding subject KMC1083 Basic Helping Skills, I learned to be a good counsellor, trainee counsellor need to have skills in conducting a counselling session. It might not be as easy as we thought but it never been hard once we understand how to apply it. I have a tip on conducting a good counselling session. I think I suit best with this tip. Everyone feel nervous for the first time right, so just start practicing without concerning whether we are good or not. We can always refer to our lectures or coursemates.  I learned that one can start practicing with Person Centered Therapy theory (PCT) since it is the simplest theory to understand and to conduct. A counsellor need to be congruent, empathy and respect to the client. However, if we conduct a counselling session without proper skills, we should not even called ourselves a trainee counsellor. So, never feel stupid when you have to learn basic skills from the beginning again just because you did not remember because a learner always study to become an expert.

So, my wish for my coursemates is I hope everyone can study to the earnest of their heart.
