Final thoughts on Technology and Counseling

As this semester has progressed my horizons have expanded in numerous ways. One of those has been the evolution of my views on the relationship between technology and counseling. At the start, I wasn't against the idea of using technology in counseling, but I didn't know a lot about what that included or how to use it effectively. Now, I really see myself integrating the use of e-mail or Skype counseling into the private practice that I hope to open one day. Becoming aware of what technology has been developed specifically for counseling, such as deep breathing apps, but also how to effectively use it in counseling is a skill I've developed that I think is really valuable. I also think that creating and using blogs and websites is an important skill that I have developed and will use to not only share information but also to market myself, now and in the future.I'm excited to expand on those skills and continue to integrate technology into my counseling techniques as my skill set and career advance.

Lastly, it's been awhile since PJ has contributed to the blog. He's very high maintenance and has been taking his catnaps during blog posting time. He's a deep sleeper, as you can see.

As always,
Kim
