Abstract

Faculty in counseling training programs often give voice to the importance of self-care for students during the training period and into practice after training is completed. However, few programs specifically address this issue in their curricula. To address this perceived need, a course was developed to provide students with (a) personal growth opportunities through self-care practices and (b) professional growth through mindfulness practices in counseling that can help prevent burnout. A focus group assessed course impact on students who reported significant changes in their personal lives, stress levels, and clinical training.

  • Mindfulness helps counselors to become less reactive and more self-aware when counselling clients who have been through trauma or particularly painful life events.

    “Mindfulness has also been shown to increase resistance to burnout (Bingisser et al. 2015) by enhancing emotional intelligence (Sangganjanavanich and Testa 2016) and helping counselors to become less reactive and more self-aware when counselling clients who have been through trauma or particularly painful life events (Christopher et al. 2006; Di Benedettoa and Swadling 2014).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
