Question 3

Describe what you will do if a student does not want to terminate with you.

Accepted Answer

-Some students may resist ending the counseling relationship even though they have met their goals.This resistance may come from anxious feelings related to fear of failing or disappointing others.It will be important to address these feelings and others related to termination during counseling.
-When a student demonstrates this type of resistance, together you may develop a plan for decreasing the frequency of meetings.It may be that the student simply needs a little more time to build confidence in his or her newly acquired skills.
-Murphy (2008) also suggested letting the student know that you need to provide services to a number of students within the school, and asking if the student would be interested in participating as a peer mentor in the future.Through these actions, the school-based helper can reinforce the student's progress, help that individual build empathy for the other students who may need services, and empower the student to help others.
-You can also reassure the student that you have an "open door" policy should there be a need to check in for support.Again, you'll want to be vigilant that the student does not become dependent on this type of informal drop in (e.g., coming to your office two to three times per week).
-Additionally, we encourage school-based professionals to consider other resources available within the school setting (e.g., peer counselors, mentors, after school programs) that can serve as either a supplement or a transitional step for students who are terminating from more intensive counseling services.
