Reflect on a time when a significant relationship in your life ended. It may be due to a death, a break-up, a location change (i.e., family move), a coaching change, a graduation, etc. Describe the loss of this relationship is detail, while responding to the following questions: Were you prepared for the end of the relationship or were you surprised? Was the termination explained to you, or were you left to figure out the details on your own? How did you cope with the loss of the relationship? Do you think you would have coped differently/more effectively had your answers to questions 1 and 2 been different? Given your personal experiences with loss, how might you approach the termination of your relationship with a client? To make your experience in this class as effective as possible, it's essential that you approach these reflections openly and honestly. Being an effective helper doesn't mean being perfect - it means understanding your strengths and acknowledging your current limitations. Remember, even though your reflections are posted into the course, only your instructor will read them
