Crisis counselors often work with people in distress and those in need of psychological, medical or legal interventions. Working with such people necessitates a calm demeanor and steady disposition. Crisis counselors aim at rehabilitating trauma casualties through a variety of intervention programs and controlling their fretfulness by helping them build new coping skills (Miller, 2012). To do so, crisis counselors have to be well trained, possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, team players, realistic, empathetic, energetic and resilient, assertive, creative, flexible and optimistic (Dreeke, 2011). Additionally, an effective crisis counselor should not react to clients’ threats or outbursts. Of these skills, I believe I am a great team player, empathetic, assertive, flexible, creative and optimistic. However, for me to be more helpful in crisis situations, I will need to be better trained on how to handle crisis victims, improve my communication and interpersonal skills and be more resilient.
