For this Discussion, review the readings and the media uploaded. Consider the role of self-awareness in addiction counseling and recovery. Consider times when you may have felt frustrated, times when you may have had pressing personal issues at home on the day of a session, and consider other factors that could have influenced your ability to remain focused on Marge and her recovery. Conclude the case study with a statement of how personal traits, skills, motivations, and experiences you possess might be helpful in pursuing a career as an addiction counselor. How will these factors contribute to your ability to maintain self-awareness and a healthy work/life balance?
