Homework Assignment # 7 (Worth 8 points) Skill: Self Disclosure Respond to four of the eight scenarios using self-disclosure by reading this scenario, identifying the specific helpee need to address, and then by sharing self-disclosure to address the need. In your write-up, be sure to indicate which scenarios you are responding to. #1-Helpee: “I was so excited to go home and see my family because it has been years since we have had time together; but …, (her voice changed to have an angry undertone) apparently it was not long enough because they didn't want me there” (she folded her arms and wrapped herself in a “hug”). #2A 38-year-old woman: “I was married for about 3 years during my early 20s. It didn't work out and it ended in divorce. It brought so much shame on my family that I don't want to ever be in a relationship again. I want the companionship but it will just end the same way as it did before and I am better off on my own.” #3“My best friend and I used to spend all day everyday together. We were a team and it was great. But now she's starting to date someone and she doesn't have much time for me. I hate seeing her focus on him all the time. I don’t think its even worth keeping our friendship going. It’s going to end if they get married anyway.” #4“I have always had the dream of going to law school and that is exactly what I have worked so hard on for the last 4 years. It was so exciting to get that acceptance letter to grad school…; but it’s so much harder than I expected. I want to give up. I’d probably regret it later, but there's other things I enjoy doing that are worth my time and are so much easier as well.” #5“Things are going well for me. I really can’t complain. The only thing that’s really been on my mind is the fact that I graduate in a few weeks and don’t have much of a plan. I had kind of banked on getting married or having a clearer picture of what I wanted to do after graduation. Every time I try to make plans, it just doesn’t really feel right.” #6“I have been waiting to be roommates with my best friend for a year now, and I was so excited for it. But she just found out that she can’t come this semester. It’s such a silly thing, but I’m really bummed about it.” #7“My best friend got married about 2 years ago and they are just perfect for each other…; but she just called and said that they have been having a lot of issues in the marriage. I want to help them fix it and just take away all of their problems. They need each other.” #8“I am torn between two good things and I want both. My family is going on a trip this summer to a place I’ve always wanted to go, but it’s the same time as the training for my internship. I could wait to do the internship but it will really push me back and it won’t be guaranteed that I get in again if I pass it up.”

Self disclosure 1. Scenario #: 5 What specific need will you address through self-disclosure? I will address the concern of not having a clearer picture of what the helpee wants to do after she completes her education. What will you share to address this need? I can imagine the fears you might have. I graduated several years ago with my first Bachelors and it all seemed that I had no direction in life, everything seemed to fail me. I exercised patience, prayed and focused so much on my other accomplishments, I stopped worrying about what I didn’t have, and this helped me to start viewing the future differently and everything started falling in place knowing that my future would be better. 2. Scenario #: 2 What specific need will you address through self-disclosure? I will address the shame that the helpee felt when she went through the divorce. What will you share to address this need? I understand the feelings of disappointment you currently have. It can be painful to go through a divorce. My younger sister divorced two years ago and even though she had her moments of difficulty, she finally made up her mind, faced her fears, and she is very optimistic that things will work put better in the long run. 3. Scenario #:7 What specific need will you address through self-disclosure? Address the need that relationships are going to have their problems and that there are going to be ups and downs. What will you share to address this need?
