Case Studies- You are required to complete 2 individual case studies. You can choose to teach this program to individuals or to teach a group and choose 2 to write up. For each case study: Write an evaluation of their intake form to introduce the client. Then for each session write half a page of double spaced, size 12 font on their healing process, including any insights, aha’s, turning points they had, and anything you want to reflect upon in relation to your facilitation of them. You can also reflect on what you feel they need more of or less of in the next session in terms of your interventions and interaction with them. Please also reflect briefly on the group dynamic if you choose to teach more than 1 person at a time.
Self-evaluation from case studies: self-reflection plus learning from the evaluation forms completed by the case study participants.
SupervisionCoaching Session: 1 x 45mins individual session.
It is professional and an excellent idea to have a supervision/ healing session after teaching a workshop. Use the insights and healing you have on a personal or professional level to support your self-evaluation.
