In what areas do you generally experience discomfort or bias related to sexuality and gender issues?

These instructions were
apart of an role play as the therapist or interviewer for
a minimum of 30 minutes and then switch roles with your partner. The meeting
should last approximately 90 minutes interview with a female peer, which I asked many questions
about her experience as it relates to her gender and sexuality and her
understanding of both. Selecting questions
from different parts of the Sexual History and Assessment document where I was
able to ask questions about different topics and different time periods. The
questions included gathering diversity information about the family of origin
and exploring how these factors related to your partner’s sexual learning and
development, where one question was about sexual identity and gender identity.
I had to be challenged where the questions were as clinician uncomfortable with
the questions in your clinician or client role. Which also included a
discussion about my comfort level and the challenges of this interview in the
reflections section of this assignment.
This is the part of
the assignment I like to be done if possible: Part 3: Self-of-the-Therapist
Reflection of the Interview Process

It was my first time having
discussed issues of sexuality and gender with anyone which was challenge but an
interesting experience.
Thus I must process the
impact of the clinical interactions and meanings and feelings that I become
aware of.
Ignoring these could interfere with our
effectiveness as clinicians. Watch the recording of your interview and observe
your facial expressions, tone of voice, and pace throughout the interview—as
the clinician and as the client.
What do you notice?
Think about how you approached the assignment
and perhaps talked with others about the questions you were to ask and be
asked. What was that like?
How did you feel after the
session?
What stood out to you from the interview?
With this in mind, write a minimum four-page
reflection and be sure to include the following points:
·
Consider how this
assignment has impacted you personally and how your personal beliefs and values
impacted the assignment, as the interviewer and as the interviewee.
·
What was most
comfortable for you?
·
What was least comfortable? What surprised
you? What insights did you have as a result of participation?
·
In what areas do you
generally experience discomfort or bias related to sexuality and gender issues?
·
How do you typically
respond to sexual values and practices outside your comfort zone when they
arise in your family, your friendships, popular culture, or other
settings?
·
How do your personal
beliefs, values, and attitudes influence your approach to topics of sex and
gender? “I have no biases” is not a sufficient response for this
section.
·
Create a plan for
addressing your areas of discomfort or bias and improve responses to therapy
interactions that trigger such biases.
