During my Graduate School Program, I took a class called Counseling Process Lab or “CPL” as it was commonly called. This class was painful but priceless. It taught us the skills necessary for individual therapy sessions and allowed us the opportunity to experiment on our classmates before we recruited other persons in the community to be our clients. Our sessions were taped so that it could be reviewed by our Professor so that we would be aware of the areas that we needed to grow in.
