Enhancing Improving
coping skills relationships
An individual goes through difficulties and changes all throughout his or her
lifetime. Everyone comes to a point when he or she needs another person to
support, guide, or understand him or her. In a course of development, a child can
experience inconsistencies in learning behavior patterns. As a teenager,
someone can experience poor self-image. A young adult can be faced with
difficulty in choosing which path he or she will take. An adult may have
resentments in dealing with a spouse.
At any period in one’s life, an individual needs the support and guide of a
professional. And here, comes the role of a counselor sets in. Most theorists
indicate that the goal of counseling is to bring about change in behavior that
will enable the client to be more productive. According to Rodger (1961),
behavior change is a necessary result of the counseling process.
Another goal of counseling is to enable the individual to make critical
decisions regarding alternative courses of action without outside influence. It
also seeks to maximize an individual’s freedom by giving a client control over
their environment. It is called ‘facilitating client potential.’
One main goal of counseling is for a client to enhance coping skills so he or
she can face and solve problems that come his or her way. Lastly, the goal of
counseling is to improve relationships. Since most conflict arises from dealing
with people who matter in one’s life, counseling can be an effective process to
make relationships stronger and better.
