We want to figure out how to connect with the client and see the client as an individual, not as someone who needs a technique performed on them. The complexity of symptoms also affects client outcomes.
Ever wondered how counselors can truly understand and help their clients beyond just a list of symptoms? In this episode of the Counselor Toolbox Podcast, Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes introduces the PACER method, a comprehensive approach to mental health that treats clients as whole individuals. The PACER method stands out by using a biopsychosocial assessment, allowing counselors to grasp the full complexity of their clients' issues and tailor treatment plans accordingly. Dr.
Snipes dives into the significance of neurotransmitters, explaining how imbalances, like a dopamine deficiency, can cause severe fatigue and other mental health challenges. She also underscores the vital link between physical and mental health, urging counselors to educate their clients on health topics such as blood sugar levels and hypoglycemia. One of the method's core strengths is its emphasis on building robust social support systems. Dr.
Snipes discusses how having a sense of commitment, control, and challenge can empower clients to better manage stress and anxiety. She also sheds light on common stressors like noise and light exposure, and their impact on mental well-being. By teaching clients effective stress relief techniques, counselors can help them enhance their cognitive functions and daily lives. This episode is packed with practical advice for anyone in the counseling field or those seeking to understand mental health better.
Tune in to discover how the PACER method can revolutionize your approach to mental health care.
