2.1 criteria establish boundries as a helper in a particular setting and within the limits of time available
I want to share how much I enjoyed week five , it was one of my most
enjoyable weekly sessions of this course so far. There was a bit of
laughter and easy going fun, with one of our helper/helpee practise sessions.
For one of our helper/helpee role practises was breaking the ‘boundaries’
from a helpee towards a helper. While role playing I was the ‘helpee’ and
I purposely had to go over the line, and express and say unnecessarily
things, as well as ask my helper questions like ”what do you think I
should do” and “would you do that, im right aren’t’t I?” I used what we
were told to see how our helper would react and how they would respond
by this, with them using there helper skills. Carrie’ who was my helper
responded by asking , “ Why do you feel that’s important” As well as
paraphrasing back what I had shared with her, I also went on to ask more
questions, and she replied, “This is your time, its about you”. As a helper
that was a very competent approached through role play even though I
was trying to break the boundaries, the helper remembered her skills. I

feel this was the best outcome for her to say back towards me.
On one of our ’triad’ works, what we did was to also break the ‘Boundaries’.
When it was my turn to become a helper, I started by going through my
confidentially and boundaries. Stating our time boundaries, as I feel
that its very important, our session was for only 10 minuets through
practise, but in a real life situation, and a helpee/clinent had turned up 20
minuets late and there appointment was for 50 minuets, and it started at
9.00am and they didn’t attend till 9.20, the appointment would still end at
9.50am, as I belief this boundaries must be kept to, professionally to the
helper, and even more towards the helpee, so they can understand the
time boundaries of the session, so they know that is just as important for
them,
