This essay will explore the nature of the therapeutic process; using my fifty-minute real-world gaming session with one of my colleagues. Additionally, I will explore my experience of the therapeutic relationship and how it influences therapeutic change and increases the affectivity of therapy. Besides that, I will get feedback from my client after discussing each step of the therapy process in detail to help I understand what worked well for the client and get more information on what I need to improve for my future sessions to be more successful. Before the session began, I made sure to place the chairs in an appropriate position to promote equality and decrease the power dynamic between myself and the client. According to Vossler (2010) a consciously organized room creates an appropriate emotional atmosphere. For example, a bright, neutral room with upright chairs suggests an equal, rational conversation, while closeness between seats indicates openness and unobtrusive information about boundaries between counselor and client. Additionally, a client is unlikely to feel comfortable revealing intimate personal information. unless they are sure that their privacy is protected and that there is no chance of anyone overhearing them. Therefore, I set up a neural room with minimal furniture in an effort to make it a helpful environment and help my client feel safe sharing intimate details about their vulnerabilities; express yourself freely and be yourself without fear of judgement. In an ideal world, this space would be different from their everyday encounters and experiences and, therefore, allow clients to speak without any suspicion of exploitation and manipulation. I started on...... middle of paper ......eldard (2005); I explained to her that I was from a different culture and explained the difference in our belief systems. Additionally, this helps clients feel comfortable and valued as equal adults. However I refrained from sharing what I would do because I didn't want the session to become a counseling session instead of a counseling session. Furthermore, I also noticed the fact that she referred to me as "consultant" in a sarcastic tone. This shows an indication that she was coming to the realization that although I was a consultant, I was not an expert, she was making the entire decision making process. Clarkson (2003) believes that a counselor's self-disclosure contributes to the healing process as it is a sign that the client is realizing their strengths to use their resources to find their own way of dealing with their problem.
