Q BENCHMARK COUNSELING SKILLS ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW This assignment will assist you in reviewing and refining your basic counseling skills. Through careful consideration of possible changes to your actions or words within the counseling session, you will be better able to analyze your skills and make improvements to your skills as well as the counseling relationship. INSTRUCTIONS Please choose one of your videos and use the Benchmark Counseling Skills Template to list the worst five interactions that you would like to “do-over.” You may select different parts of your video, but the counselor and client interaction need to be consecutive as these will be transcribed verbatim. Include a time stamp for each interaction. After viewing your video, in retrospect what would be a better response? You will have three areas to record CL: Client, CO: Counselor, and BR: Better Response. *Note:* ALL students are required to complete this assignment.
