Whether you’re a counselor or counselee, isn’t is sad or at least surprising how little is remembered from a session?
Even
though my clients record our sessions on their phone and I encourage
them to listen, many don’t, and even if they do, they remember only a
small fraction of the takeaways they had agreed is important.
On
reflection, that shouldn’t be so surprising. Think of all the
counseling, workshops, let alone college courses, you’ve taken. How much
do you remember? If you’re like most people, not much lives beyond a
day or two. Takeaways’ half-life is short indeed.
An
antidote is for counselors — whether psychological, career, life
coaching, whatever — to build-in memorability. Counselees can use some too. My PsychologyToday.com article today offers some tactics
I’ve used.
