The video link is of students (me and my partner) recording themselves in a mock counseling session by using helping skills with a partner serving as the designated helpee. During this recorded session, we demonstrated the counseling skills that we have learned up to that point: attending, reflecting, responding, empathy, listening, confrontation, summarization etc. You will submit a minimum of a 4-page personal evaluation/critique/write-up of your recorded session (requirements for paper are below).
