It is appropriate to use self-disclosure when talking about the professional aspect of your life, when you are sharing your thought and feelings about how the client is acting by giving feedback, one may also give their prospective of how the meetings with the clients have been going (Szczygiel, 2019).

In the video the social worker spoke to “Princess” who was upset and stormed off. When she went into her room I would provide empathy, I would provide self-disclosure by telling her what I witnessed as she stormed off and became upset. I think by providing the empathy to hear it will give her comfort and knowing that her feelings she feels are valid and she is not alone when trying to make a cleaner safe environment for her and her mother.

In this case I would also the mother and daughter open ended questions giving them both the opportunity to talk, and letting both of their thought and feeling out so neither one felt as if the social worker was taking sides. The open-ended question also gives them the opportunity to express all their thoughts and feelings in which, they may not have been able to successfully do without a third party to assist or as questions that can assist in their current situation. I would also use reflective responding which is another technique to assist with how they are responding. As the mother is a hoarder and will not allow her daughter to clean or throw anything away it would be good to let the daughter tell her mother why she wants to throw things way, while the mother gets to state why these things are so important to her and why she does not want to throw them away. Then they two can work to come to a mutual agreement.

The first step that I think is important is understanding what self-disclosure is. Self-disclosure is when someone voluntarily reveals personal or private information about oneself to others (Ashman, 2018, pg 80). It involves sharing thoughts, emotions, experiences, or information that may not be known by others. Self-disclosure is a powerful tool for building trust, intimacy, and connection in relationships. When you share personal experiences, interests, and emotions with someone, it helps create a deeper bond and understanding. Especially in the early stages of getting to know someone, opening up can foster rapport and make the connection even stronger. It's like laying the foundation for a solid friendship or relationship. So don't be afraid to share a little piece of yourself! Sharing personal information with a client should be selective and the only reason it is shared is if it benefits the client in a positive way.

Regarding the Parker video, I would use reflective listening. It's all about really listening to what someone is saying and then responding in a way that shows you understand and validate their feelings. It involves paraphrasing what the person said, using your own words, and reflecting back their emotions or thoughts. It helps create a safe and supportive environment for open and honest communication. So, instead of just waiting for your turn to talk, reflective listening helps you truly connect with the other person. It's like giving them a little piece of your attention and understanding.

YOUR INITIAL DISCUSSION POST BELOW:

Self-disclosure can be appropriate to build rapport, establish empathy, and convey understanding. Self-disclosure entails sharing personal experiences to connect with the client on a more personal level, fostering a therapeutic alliance (Szczygiel, 2019). When Stephanie asks, "Wouldn't you?" in response to the social worker's mention of wanting a clean home, it presents an opportunity for strategic self-disclosure. A suitable example of self-disclosure in this scenario is acknowledging the universal desire for a clean and comfortable living environment. The social worker could say, "I understand the importance of having a clean and peaceful home. It is something many of us value, including myself." The statement communicates empathy and normalizes Stephanie's feelings.

One interviewing technique that could be effective in this situation is reflective listening. Reflective listening is a communication technique where the listener paraphrases or repeats the speaker's words to demonstrate understanding and empathy. The listener restates the speaker's feelings and thoughts to validate the speaker's experiences. The active listening fosters a deeper connection, encourages open communication, and enhances mutual understanding in therapeutic or supportive interactions. An example of reflective listening in this context could be, "It sounds like living in a cluttered environment has been challenging for you, especially since your dad passed away. Is that right?" The technique allows the social worker to acknowledge Stephanie's experience and explore her feelings further.

Reflective listening technique is suitable because it demonstrates active listening and validates Stephanie's emotions. Reflective listening is crucial as it validates the client's emotions and fosters a trusting therapeutic alliance. The person-centered approach emphasizes empathy and is fundamental for effective counseling. Reflective listening encourages clients to share their feelings and experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of their perspective (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2018). For instance, the video illustrates Stephanie's need for validation, making reflective listening an essential tool to effectively address her feelings and challenges.
