Page 2 What have you particularly enjoyed learning about in the course thus far?  Although I work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, the combination of MFT-6610 and MFT 6611 has helped me understand trauma in a different perspective. I’m learning more about the history of trauma, the different types of traumas, trauma reactions and now more about how trauma affects me as a professional. This course is also helping me understand how important it is to implement self-care into my daily routine to make sure helping my client is not retraumatizing myself. What has been most surprising to you and/or particularly resonated for you and What did you learn through completing the ProQOL5?   After completing the ProQOL5 assessment, I was a little surprise with my results, and I felt good. Because of my background with domestic violence and the type of work I do, I expected my results to be higher on the scale in each category, especially with burnout and secondary traumatic stress. The scores helped me realized I’ve reached the point in my life where I not only balance my work/personal life; but I’m more aware of my triggers and how to cope with them. As for compassion satisfaction, I love what do and score reflected that. Do you have any concerns about your responses to the course material thus far that you would like to discuss with your professor?  At this time, I don’t have any concerns with the course; however, moving forward I might have questions regarding the assignments. For instance, in week five, we have to do an interview with a clinical worker in the community. I live in Delaware, which is a small state, that also has a small number of licenses MFT’s. I just want to
Page 3 confirm it will be ok to interview other licenses clinical workers as long as they specialized in trauma. Are there any self-care practices that you would like to initiate, any steps that you would like to take to improve your self-care, and/or any strategies that you are currently using that you would like to continue to promote good self-care throughout your career?  At work we have a bi-weekly mindfulness session, that was created by one of our counselors. This class along with walking, spending time with family and friends are my current self-care practices. One practice I’m in the process of trying to start again is reading. The schedule I created for self-care consists of the minimum of, thirty minutes a day of doing something I enjoy.
