(d) - Besides continuing to do some mentorship hours which tends to be dealing with a lot of client's paperwork and filing; for this component I took time to watch several videos regarding people dealing with depression or surviving suicide attempts. Some videos were just about the extremity of these topics and how to address them. These videos are done through what's known as TED talks. I also watched a few movies involving counseling to show how it's implemented today. I took the time to review these after watching them. At school, I've been using my ssr time to read a book called It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini.
- Taking this much amount of time watching videos regarding counseling has definitely benefited me in answering my essential question and my senior project in general because it has given me insight and opened a door to what I couldn't always get at mentorship. People's personal stories are confidential and harder to obtain while watching people willingly share through the Internet is sort of a loop hole. These people have lots of courage with being upfront about their struggle; with the research I've done prior and information passed down through my mentor I was able to take these resources and techniques into account when reviewing these videos. Reading It's Kind of a Funny Story is a book about a teen suffering with depression and I appreciate this book because it's relatable and understandable coming from a teen like myself. My essential question is "What is the most effective way for a therapist to support a struggling client?" The TED talks videos have individuals speaking openly about what they'd like to see in counseling and what best comforts them and what worked. For that reason I believe investing my independent component 2 hours in these activities benefited me in answering my essential question.
