Running Head DEVELOPING SELF- cognizance 1 DEVELOPING SELF- AWARENESS 2 What is SELF? The definition of ego has intrigued many people through come in the ages. antediluvian conceptions defined ego in terms of a soul a vital, immaterial, life-principle, or essence of valet de chambre (Baldwin, 2000, p. 41). Today egotism is defined as the total essential or particular organism of a person the individual. But what re altogethery is self? Gerry Fewster, (2001) argues that self exists at the core of our experiencing.Some might say that self is not only the core of our experience, but of our existence, the centrality of that which we are. self has operate central to the effective helping march in all aspects of the system from service design to deli genuinely (Garfat and Charles, 2006, p. 7). Self can mean being self-aware, and that knowledge, awareness, and understanding all about self are key (Ranahan, 2000 Ricks, 2006). Garfat and Charles (2006) state that knowing self is not a tool, a technique or a strategy. It is a sort of being being in awareness, being present (p. 6).Garfat and Charles emphasize on knowing self, beca role our interpretations are influenced by our particular way of perceiving and experiencing. Traditional ideas of knowing self generally apply to the field of work, Seaton, (2003) declares that effectiveness on knowing self as an active listener and speaker relies upon a workers talent to regulate, adjust, and fine tune themselves to the specific necessitate and situation of the client, to be conscious(p. 54). Frances Ricks (2001) had agreed that without these abilities, and without self, there is no such thing as separate.Garfat and Charles (2006) and Mishna and Bogo (2007) expand on the comparative use of self. The focus is on self reflection and authenticity. Developing the scientific discipline of active awareness DEVELOPING SELF-AWARENESS 3 helps identify and investigate the exchanges between a babe and juvenility crimina l maintenance practiti acer and his/her client. Therefore, having knowledge behind their actions, they are aware and able to prevent the therapists own experiences or wants/needs from taking over his/her perceptions and interfering with actions.By practicing self awareness it allows the practitioner to be connected, which leads to being authentic and genuine as well as using the attitudes learned from Active talk with others (Arnd-Caddigan and Pozzuto, 2008 Garfat and Charles, 2006 Westra, 1996). Becoming aware of how our beliefs, values, and ethics impact on us personally we can also become aware of how they impact on our presentation to our clients (Eldson, 1998). Understanding self-awareness means to understand self and others when self is very clearly, obviously, present (Ricks, 2006 Baldwin, 2000, p. 9-30). Greene, Jensen, and Jones (1996) say skillful use of self is an integral part of developing an effective relationship, which in turn, can be put towards the understanding o f becoming an effective Active Listener and Speaker. By having this ability to understand the roles of effective listening and speaking through active communication, self becomes more and more most-valuable as one progresses through various stages of development as a Child and offspring bring off professional (Phelan, 1990 Westra, 1996).The professional use of self the use of ones own personal resources (including ones own emotions, as well as certain skills and techniques) achieve real communication. (Ward, 1998) Developing Self- sentience as a Integral Part of Becoming an Effective Active Listener and Speaker allows familiarity to turn over between knowledge of self, awareness of self, and understanding the role of self in relationships with others. Fewster, (2001) shares that in fullest DEVELOPING SELF- AWARENESS 4 form the word self is more than physical, more than emotional, and more than cognitive.It is the sum total of all our aspects, and even more. Self is active, cons tant, always present, and workers bring self to the moment, to the now. (Kruger, 2007) References Arnd-Caddigan, M. & Pozzuto, R. (2008).
