Segment 1: Intro to Counseling/Therapeutic Orientations
(Lebert) Intro: So, as some of you may or may not have known, there are multiple counseling/therapeutic orientations that your counselor or therapist may utilize when they are working with you! They also do not exist in isolation, and can often be used together! Some of the approaches include Adlerian, Psychoanalytic, Existential and more.
(Paul) Question 1: Before we get into a discussion of our counseling therapeutic approaches, we have to discuss how we got into the field. So, at what point in time did you realize counseling/therapy was a field of interest to you?
(Lebert) Question 2: How did the conversations with your network go when you were discussing it with them?
Segment 2: Learning About The Field
(Paul) Question 1: Next, I thought it meaningful to talk about how our learning process within the field looked. What were some things about the field of counseling/therapy that surprised you?
(Lebert) Question 2: In what ways did being within the field of counseling/therapy affect your own self-view?
Segment 3: Orientations
(Paul) Question 1: Alright, now we’re at the part of the discussion we’ve all been waiting for. What counseling theory or theories are you most oriented towards?
(Lebert) Question 2: How does your identity influence the specific approaches you emphasize in your work as a practitioner?
Segment 4: Closing

(Lebert) Listener question of the day idea: What do you know about counseling/therapy?
Key Takeaways!!!
