  • Students will analyze their practicum experience, reflecting on how it connects to their development and demonstration of competence.
  • Students will actively practice a mindfulness activity.
  • Students consider self-care/burnout prevention and how they relate to their practice.

  • Banking of Hours: Students can bank up to 20 hours, but no more. While some students want to accumulate more hours to finish early, the focus should be on the practicum experience, not just hours.
  • Supervision Agendas: Some students struggle with content for supervision, but since it’s mandatory, we can guide them in creating supervision agendas. I’ll attach an example for your reference.
  • Communication: Students need to respond to emails, texts, or calls within 24-48 hours. If you prefer other guidelines, please feel free to share, and we’ll remind students accordingly.
  • Learning Contracts: Some students are anxious about their learning contracts. We’ll be working with them closely, and site visits are planned soon to review contracts and tour practicum sites.
  • Competing Journal and Hours
Slide 4
Slide titled 'Practice Learning Reflection Group' lists discussion prompts about group norms, practicum experiences, client needs, and unexpected events.

Practice Learning Reflection Group

  • What are our group norms
  • What animal would your practicum have been this last week
  • What are some of the things that are happening in your practicums
  • What are some of the needs of the clients you are working with
  • What is something that has been unexpected so far
Slide 5
Two overlapping circles labeled 'Rational Mind' and 'Emotional Mind' form a central 'WISE Mind' area. Text describes the concepts: Rational is task-focused, Emotional is mood-dependent, WISE balances both. Title: 'Mindfulness Activity, DBT Skills Training Handbook (Linehan, 2015).'

Mindfulness Activity: WISE Mind

DBT Skills Training Handbook (Linehan, 2015)

Reasonable Mind Is:

  • Cool
  • Rational
  • Task-focused

When in reasonable mind, you are ruled by facts, reasons, logic, and pragmatics. Values and feelings are not important.

Emotion Mind Is:

  • Hot
  • Mood-Dependent
  • Emotion Focused

When in emotion mind, you are ruled by your moods, feelings, and urges to do or say things. Facts, reasons, and logic are not important.

Wise Mind Is: The wisdom within each person Seeing the value of both reason and emotion Bringing left brain and right brain together The middle path

Slide 6
A spiral staircase is shown from above, winding downwards. Text describes a mindfulness activity from the DBT Skills Training Handbook, focusing on imagining descending stairs to reach inner awareness. A 'WISE Mind' diagram is present.

Walking down the spiral stairs

Walking down the spiral stairs Imagine that within you is a spiral staircase, winding down to your very center. Starting at the top walk very slowly down the staircase, going deeper and deeper within yourself.

Notice the sensations. Rest by sitting on a step, or turn on lights on the way down if you wish. Do not force yourself further than you want to go. Notice the quiet. As you reach the center of your self, settle your attention there-perhaps in your gut or your abdomen.
