This is an exciting course. Our personal philosophy about life and people impact upon our relationship with others. These assumptions about people and their motives influences how we see clients, the philosophy and theory of counseling we use, the style of therapeutic relationships we develop, the kind of counseling goals we help clients set, and the interventions we use to help clients meet their goals.
