Discussion Post: Self Reflection- Prescription Drug Overdose
One simple way to think about reflective practice is by asking the questions What? So what? and Now what? These questions can guide reflective practice. To clarify:
• "What" is asking questions such as "What happened?"; "What action did I carry out?"; "What did I observe?"
• "So what" refers to questions such as "Why has this happened," "What did I observe," or "What did it matter?"
• "Now what" asks questions like "What can I do differently to improve?", "What can I learn from this?", and "What are alternative ways of thinking about/approaching this?"
Reflective practice can be something to engage in on your own as a counselor but it is also essential to engage in reflective practice collaboratively. Because we often have our own lenses that limit the scope of our perspectives, collaborating with others is a way to broader our lens and develop new insights by collaborating.
