"""This unique experientially-focused workbook has fun and engaging reflective activities that are sure to be a help for counselors-in-training as they develop a deeper understanding of their aspirations, identity, role, and path in the counseling profession."" – Mark D. Stauffer, Ph.D., core faculty, Walden University ""This is a one of a kind resource for educators and students alike. Each chapter provides a solid literature review followed by creative interventions that facilitate a student’s journey to becoming a healer. The activities have clear instructions, templates, individual/group processing, and supervision reflection prompts. Each chapter helps programs and students achieve the CACREP Standards that encourage reflection and awareness of Self. I cannot wait to implement this resource in our program!"" – LoriAnn S. Stretch, LPC-S, NCC, ACS, BC-TMH, department chair, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology ""Resources adopted for use by graduate students new to the profession of counseling must be written in a way that captures the interest and encourages the development of the professional identity of the beginning counselor. This workbook, designed for use in practicum and internship seminars and placements, contains cutting-edge descriptions of reflective and creative activities specifically designed to provide a reflective space to connect knowledge of counseling content and skills to the personal attributes and experiences of the reader.
