PSY 108 Module Three Activity Template In the Module Three Activity Guidelines and Rubric, review the Prompt and Supporting Materials sections. Then answer the following questions. Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. 1. Is your goal to work in a helping profession or do you work in a helping profession now? Describe why your goal profession or current profession is meaningful to you. Your response should be a minimum of 1 to 3 sentences. My goal is to work in a helping profession shortly after graduation. My helping professional goal is to become a trauma and mental health therapist. This helping profession is meaningful to me because I have struggled my entire life and it is very difficult to find a good therapist. I want to take what I’ve learned from school and my personal experiences and help someone to learn how to cope with their illness. I also want to show people that having a mental illness is not a bad thing, it just makes us different from the rest. 2. One of your programmatic course themes is self-care. Which of the strategies for self-care from the article Recognizing Compassion Fatigue in the Helping Professions are most relevant to you now as a student or working professional? Your response should be a minimum of 1 to 3 sentences. I have two strategies that I think are relevant to my life as a student and in my future profession. The first one is learning how to say no without feeling guilty. The second one is to process everything. As a student, I have had to learn how to say no to friends and prioritize doing my homework before I can go hang out with them. As a professional, I will have to be able to set boundaries and stick to them to ensure that I am not overworking myself into misery. When working as a trauma and mental health therapist, there will be many times where I can relate to a patient or even have a lot of empathy and that can drastically affect my mental health if I do not process it properly. 3. One of your programmatic course themes is emotional intelligence. How do you currently apply emotional intelligence skills as a student or working professional? How can it be useful for you to explore strategies for EI as this course (or the program, if you are a Psychology major) continues? Your response should be a minimum of 1 to 3 sentences. As a student, if I start to feel overwhelmed or stressed out, I usually take a short break to meditate and breathe. This allows me to refocus and get a different perspective or point of view. In my professional field, taking a moment to regroup and process the information I’m receiving will allow me to have a clear mind when trying to help other people. In this course, it would be useful for me to explore strategies in EI to prepare myself for my career goals. It will allow me to learn new things that can help me to be more successful in my future and in my time as a student. 1
