Describe and discuss the three levels of the Counselor Awareness model. As a counselor, how will you increase your awareness on each of these levels? Why is it important to be able to adequately function on these three levels?

What will be an ideal response?


a. Intrapersonal level of awareness-It is how you are feeling and what you are thinking, and it is determined by the cumulative sum of your emotional and cognitive experience as it is acted upon by the current situation in which you find yourself.
b. Interpersonal awareness-This relates to the dynamics of your interactions with other individuals. It is about intimacy, contact, and conflict—all the relationship variables at play between you and one other person. Interpersonal awareness means that as you interact with a client, part of your mind is simultaneously standing back, looking on, and reflecting on the quality of the interaction.
c. Group or collective dimension of awareness -At this level, which is of particular relevance to those who do group counseling work, a complex set of dynamics and feelings fly between the members and leaders of a group. These dynamics are at play in all groups, not only counseling groups. These are the overt and covert emotional messages that exist among group members, the web of feeling and thought that makes for tremendous energy and excitement in much of group work.
