Directions
Step 1: Select an 8 to 10-minute segment of a recorded counseling session and upload it to _____________. Save the video as your name and presentation number (e.g., Jane Doe, First Case Presentation). Ensure the video is unlisted and make your professor a collaborator. Verify your professor’s Liberty email address beforehand.
Step 2: Watch the video segment and type a verbatim transcript with timestamp of the video (recall verbatim means word-for-word and includes “umm,” “err” and other filler words).
Step 3: For every counselor statement/response, with the exception of paralanguage, identify the intervention and rationale for why you used it (Intervention and Rationale), provide a rework of the intervention (Rework), and include comments regarding conceptualization and/or counselor self-awareness (Conceptualization and Personalization).
