[Hint: This assignment encourages self-reflective practice regarding your clinical
performance. The goal is not to do a perfect session. Rather the goal is to assess the
extent to which you can accurately assess your psychosocial counseling skills. You
will gain more from this exercise if you refrain from scripting what you plan to say
as the counselor.]
