Please use this assignment submission page to upload the Template in MS Word containing your Reflective Journal work during PSYC7113/7203 terms.
Reflective journaling at this stage in your career development is a very important part of becoming a competent counsellor. Set up a reflection journal file on your computer to store your journal reflections. Reflection journals are scheduled to be submitted 4 times over the two-trimester practicum course, with 2 reflective journals submitted during PSYC7113 and 2 reflective journals submitted during PSYC7203.
Students will be expected to submit 3-4 page reflective journals, not counting title page and references list, each time highlighting their practicum learning experiences from their practicum site, during the seminars (specifically, seminar learning outcomes), and during faculty instruction.
Students will be expected to produce deeply reflective, highly professional, and relevant journal reflections. It is important to know the line between deep reflection of personal growth and revealing too much information about your personal life. Be cautious about what you share as it pertains to your personal life and attempt to focus the reflection on who you are as a therapist. The person of the therapist is a very important developmental process for beginning therapist. It is a time for students to go deep and get to know themselves and how “the self” impacts and is impacted by the counselling experience. If you are not sure how to write a reflective journal, research it. There is a great deal of good information on the internet that will help guide you.
Reference Support: For each Reflective Journal assignment, provide reference source support for your journal reflections from combined learnings from the Consultation Seminars, Supervision, Skills Learning Lab, scholarly readings, your personal reflections, and client sessions (remembering to leave out any client identifiers). For each resource reviewed, include in-text citations in the body of your writings and include a References list at the end of the Journal. Use APA current formatting.
MACP Skills Learning Lab
For each of your reflective journals please use the resources listed in the MACP Skills Learning Lab. The Skills Learning Lab may be accessed in the course Syllabus in the required materials area. Some videos to be certain to view and integrate in this term’s Reflective Journals include, but are not limited to:
Module 1: Therapeutic Relationship
Therapeutic Relationship
Module 2: Safe and Effective Use of Self
“Developing Self-Awareness”
“Advanced Reflection and Awareness” (Practicum level)
The Reflective Journal has a three-fold purpose:
Your reflective journals help in the development of the person of the therapist in terms of recognizing and realizing who you are amidst this work, where you can get triggered, and where you may have personal biases that could interfere with your work with a client.
Your reflective journals give you a chance to interact with course material including the seminars, self-directed reading and researching, self-assessments and any assignments that have occurred. It provides you with the opportunity to synthesize your internal development with supervision and evidence-based practice.
Lastly, the reflective journals give you a place to process through areas of struggle, identify triggers, and ask questions about how to deal with specific populations

Confidentiality: it is important to note that as with all your assignments at Yorkville University, journals are considered private documents however, should something be noted in your journal that creates concern that either you or a client could be in harm’s way we have an obligation to ensure safety. If it is necessary to disclose information found in a student’s journal, the student would be informed (the exception being where the disclosure could cause further harm to the student or another person). In every case, the utmost discretion will be used in revealing as little as possible while still ensuring safety. You should also be aware that journals and assignments can be read by faculty instructors, practicum coordinators, and any other university official who requires access to university business, including the Dean, should you appeal your grade.
