¶ … Self
In Counselor: Know Thyself, Hulnick addresses the laundry list of ideal psychological concepts:
"authenticity, unconditional positive regard, empathy, accuracy in our communications, the ability to express oneself, increased awareness, focus on the NOW, action modes of dealing with problems, psychological independence, the need for healthier concepts, movement toward self-actualization, openness to life's experience, self-worth, meaningful research, a mature value system in general, a spiritual value system in particular, and most importantly, the need for continual, unceasing work on one's own growth" (Hulnick, 1977, pp. 69-70).
While a person with all those qualities may exist, I have not met him/her. Hulnick is wise to speak of the process in which a person gradually attains and enhances those vital qualities while working to become as effective a counselor as possible. The term "process" seems so scientific, (it makes me think of "processed cheese"), that I prefer the term "becoming." I possess all those qualities to some degree but also certainly lack every quality to some degree. That is perfectly fine, because I am consciously "becoming." Am I becoming a person who is stronger in each of those positive qualities? Yes, and to that extent, my sense of self is congruent with...
People involved in casual conversations with me during that time would readily tell you that I am "deep"; they were mistaken, fooled by my ability to socialize well and simply make statements that would sound deep. My greatest step toward self-knowledge came with what Hulnick calls "forgiving" myself but what I call the more positive step of "accepting the package of who I am." At long last, I eventually accepted this "package" of a person who is one great person in some respects but a deeply flawed person in other respects. Until actually doing it -- accepting the package -- I did not know how tough it is and how liberating it is. Once I accepted that package, knowing that those flaws are not just temporary anomalies that aren't really me and knowing that they will not be easily outgrown or shed, I was ready to learn about this loveable/awful person. I was not ready to truly learn about myself even a single second before accepting that package. What's more, I keep realizing that the package isn't quite accepted…

Self-Awareness and Self-Development in HRM Leadership, as it manifests in companies today, has evolved greatly from a century ago. Indeed, with the development of sciences such as psychology and sociology, business people have begun to recognize the importance of the human element not only in office relationships, but also in the specific arena of leadership. From the industrial era, in which leadership was essentially brutal work, bordering on slave driver, this
Self-Awareness There are many traits of great importance to the midwife in order to accomplish a successful job and a positive experience by the patient, and self-awareness is perhaps one of the most essential. Self-awareness consists in part of understanding one's motives and motivations -- knowing why certain actions are seen as desirable -- and in a more philosophical sense can be understood as a recognition of the set of experiences
It will be important for me to make sure that the work that I take is work that I can perform without over tasking myself - this will only hurt the client and me. Learning how to say no, without fear will be a challenge but something I think will be good for me. I will also need to learn how to ask for help, especially in my early

In human beings, both James and the authors of the text consider this the ultimate act of "morality," asserting that this morality underlies all of our decisions (Schwartz & Begley 2002). The robots that exhibit self-aware behavior and develop their own intentions must possess the same basic morality, then. This morality is more explicitly linked to immediate rewards, however; the walking robot, for instance, was not given any instruction or
Frustrations of this nature only grow worse with time (Myers & Spencer, 2004) and resentments magnify by virtue of internalizing them instead of finding a way of expressing them appropriately (Aronson, Wilson, & Akert, 2003). In many respects, the anger that eventually erupts is more reflective of the additional psychological energy required to repress genuine feelings about coworkers and working situations than it is appropriate to the actual situation
