I'll be asking you to do this repeatedly: to increase your awareness of what your mind is doing; to notice how it's reacting and what it's telling you. The ability to notice your own thought processes is an important psychological skill. And the more often you do this, the more you will learn about how your mind works - which will come in very handy later.

The human mind is a problem-solving organ. It detects dangers, analyses situations, predicts outcomes and suggests actions. In the world outside our skins, that works wonderfully well. But when those same logical abilities are turned within, a human life becomes a problem to be solved rather than a process to be experienced. A trap opens up. Life gets put on hold while we fight a war within.

These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb. These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb. These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb.

In no other profession does the personality and behavior of the professional make such difference as it does in counseling. Beginning counselors need to work at increasing their self-awareness as well as their knowledge of counseling procedures. Your willingness to be open to supervision, to accept clients' failures and criticisms, to participate in counseling yourself when appropriate, and to acknowledge your limits will contribute to your eventual success and satisfaction.
