Teachers as Counselors
Counseling
It means as assisting another person to become free of rigid patterns. Counseling
needs teamwork. The teachers and the students must team up together. With some precise
assistance from the teachers, the students will be able to discharge, release and be free from
tensions which held their patterns of hurt in place, and then think through the experiences of
hurt until they make complete sense of them.
Teachers as counselors must recognize and understand emotions such as:
a. Grief – is associated with the heaviest and most profound of the emotional hurts that
any person could experience.
b. Fears – are manifested by recounting of the experiences that will lead to trembling,
chattering and shivering.
c. Anger – is an excessive emotion caused by an injury or wrong.
d. Boredom – is a feeling of weariness.
e. Physical Discomforts – brought about by some health problems such as muscle pains,
and hormone imbalance may become the foundation of emotional distress.

How can teachers as counselors help?

1. Listen with interest and with full attention.
This will encourage the person to talk about his/her difficulties. Many light
tensions are unraveled as the person is allowed to talk about his/her difficulties
thoroughly.
2. Ask questions.
This will help the person resume attention.
3. Permit and encourage discharge.
Direct the person’s attention to where such discharge is likely to occur. When
discharge slows or stops, direct him/her attention to where the discharge can
continue.
4. Don’t be suggestive
Refrain from telling the person what you think of his/her problem.
5. Spend time listening, not talking.
Give attention to the story of the person.
6. Don’t react emotionally.
Just get interested and be concerned.
7. Don’t interrupt the discharge.
Help the person deepen the discharge. Be very speculative of the results of
what you do.
8. Be courteous.
Avoid any appearance of discourtesy. The person who seeks your help place
his or her great trust and confidence in anyone s/he accepts as counselor.
