Analysis of Self: My Journey to Healing and Helping

Abstract

The Analysis of Self led me to take an inventory of who I am as a person and a professional, and what led me to where I am today as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor. This project satisfies the requirements of the graduate program. Besides taking an in-depth overview of my personal history, I also included assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strong’s Interest Inventory (SII) to uncover various aspects of my personality, strengths and qualities. Interventions that align with my counseling style are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy because of their evidence-based success and because of the population I intend to work with.. Interviews were conducted to gain an outsider’s view into my growth and counseling style
