     Flor Martinez Catholic Charities and The County of San Bernardino Contact 

    Interpretive

     What the most important thing I gained was the responsibilities and hardship for a therapist. This showed me how to deal with the different clients coming in. I attended seminars with my mentor and learned that offended times a therapist will need their own therapist. Learned different coping methods. During my Mentorship time I found out about the biopsychosocial Model, which I based my answer off of.

   Applied

   This helped to answer my EQ because I not only learned about the biopsychosocial model but I    built an understanding of the therapist. My answer three is  "In order for the client to make process of control they must have a therapist with the fullest attention and well insight about a client." Going to different events and learning the importance of the role of the therapist in a client's life.
