A Research Project On The ' The Wong One Died '

There are lots of things in life that happen to different people, for different reasons. And some people, you would never think they endured some of the things that they had to endure. Some people’s lives are better than others, the experiences, the drives that they push through each day, every day. But this story, is eye opening, and a learning experience in multiple ways.

Throughout this course, we have learned different approaches and techniques regarding therapy and counseling. More so, multiple of these techniques are used to develop a plan for the benefit of the patient. Love’s Executioner (1989), written by Irvin D. Yalom, was a documentation of the relationship and interactions between Thelma and himself. Throughout the treatment, he used a variety of helping skills and approaches to attempt to breakthrough her within six months. Thelma’s reason for coming into therapy was that she was emotionally distressed based on a past experience. She perceived to be hopelessly in love with an old therapist of hers, Matthew. This “love” was more than an emotion felt and since it was not reciprocated, it was merely an obsession of the twenty-seven days she spent with Matthew. Through the course of this interaction, Yalom used a psychoanalytic orientation

Humanity is constantly searching for this idea of inner peace. In a modern world of sometimes seemingly endless suffering, how can one interpret this idea of peace into their daily life? The ancient Taoist text, the Daodejing of Laozi, makes many lofty and vague sentiments about how to find piece and rise above inner struggle in order to find an abstract “Way” which will guide one to inner piece. However, this text leaves much to be desired in how one is supposed to find this way amidst a world that is often very painful and bleak. Shane Koyczan’s spoken word poem “Instructions for a Bad Day” focuses less on the idea of finding you way, and more about overcoming current struggles. Life, however, is neither just overcoming struggle, nor just finding your way. It is a constant struggle between rising over pain, and finding inner happiness. These two texts together, though, examine the ways in which one can rise above their struggles into this greater “way” of living. Together, these pieces argue that one can make their own inner peace by accepting that pain is as much a part of living as happiness is, and by allowing these two things to cycle in and out of their lives naturally without fighting against either.

In chapter of the book Penny is at a family dinner in which the intention is to praise the approval of her ship design that is to be used by the British admiralty. However, during this dinner, that was supposed to be celebrating Penny success, a debate arose about Pennys ship design. In this debate her uncle Alfred argued that due to ship engineering being a job that is predominantly male orientated Pennys design could not possibly be of a good quality. Following these remarks Penny would then try to calm the situation by saying “If it makes anyone feel any better, I don't deserve any credit, the whole idea was Neils.” This shows Pennys reluctance to accept credit for her extraordinary work and rather give credit to a man in order to abide within the misogynistic societal expectations of the time. These expectations being that men were supposed to be the intellectuals while women could not possibly be successful in a white collared environment due to their lack of intellect. With this in mind, the prejudice that Penny faces in this scene is highlighted from comments made by the narrator in an earlier chapter of the book. These comments were “To be a woman at a predominantly masculine job she had to be more than good. she had to be better than her male colleagues; she had to work longer hours and be doubly careful as

Reading this book has been interesting and heartbreaking experience. A Year of Magical Thinking, a journey through the grieving process. While dealing with the death of her husband, she is confronted with the sickness of her only child. This book touches me, and it makes me think of what would happen if my loved one died. This paper is a reflection of my thoughts and feelings about this woman’s journey that has been explored by book and video. I will also explore the author’s adjustment process, and how she views her changed self.

“There are far too many needles in my life. Far, far too many bruises” (Schmidt 4). Because of a rare blood disorder allowing Penny to bruise easily, she is considered too fragile to lead the Family business, or

When comparing and contrasting the differences in the three approaches, I will review the relationship between client and counsellor. I will attempt to discover how the relationship is formed and how it is maintained during the therapeutic process. Once this has been established, I will then look at how the changes occur in the therapeutic relationship and which techniques will be used. I will compare and contrast the approaches of Carl Rogers, Sigmund Freud and Albert Ellis. I will look at how their theories have impacted on the counselling processes in modern times and throughout history.

The memoir, Miracles from Heaven, written by Christy Beam really made me realize how there is nothing more important than health. Annabel Beam, a nine year old girl, faced a rare incurable disorder that didn’t allow her to digest food. Christy Beam visited so many doctors to find a cure for this miserable disease but nothing worked. Reading about Annabel’s struggles and her mom’s attempts to heal Annabel really got me worried. However, reading the book alone wasn’t enough; that’s when I willingly sat down to watch the movie. That one hour forty-nine minute movie taught me to realize how many people struggle between life and death constantly. The book and the movie made me extremely upset and made me recall the time when my mom, my sister and

Psychologist and best-selling author Clarissa Pinkola Estes, who using stories in therapy says, “Stories act like an antibiotic that finds the source of the infection and concentrates there. The story help makes that part of the psyche clear and strong again.”4 In her book Remember the Time, Eileen Silva Kindig recalls a woman who is very depressed after the death of her husband until a young couple moved in next door whom the woman conversed with and shared stories. The woman’s daughter told Kindig the more she shared her stories and knowledge, the more vital she even

Irvin Yalom (2012) initiates thought-provoking moment after thought-provoking moment in his work, “The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients.” There is an authentic yet profound air in Yalom’s work and in his recorded therapy. It would be difficult to sum up the importance of what Yalom addresses in one paper, but I will attempt to note the parts of Yalom’s writing which stood out most to me. I hope to cover Yalom’s thoughts on avoiding diagnosis, letting the patient matter, using the here and now, therapist transparency, feedback, and freed & responsibility as in-depth as possible. Moreover, I hope to address how these thoughts will impact my own approach to therapy and how they interact with my faith.

I think one’s philosophy is like a metaphor, a fast way of hypothesizing a problem or situation while broadening the clinician's understanding of a client’s case. Likewise, the theory provides generalizations that not only clarify one’s understanding, but also connect therapist to similar conclusions about other circumstances (Ryan, Lynch, Vansteenkiste, & Deci, 2011). The method creates knowledge serving as a road map for new counselors, providing a direction to ensure they are on track to plan an effective healing approach for their clients (Hutchinson, 2015). It is the general narratives of one’s integrity of understanding, interpreting, ultimately when it comes to consistency and unity in achieving goals in the most well-organized and

Reading about the experiences leaves me feeling more empathic towards my clients with depression. Though I do speak about depression and suicide in my Coping with Loss group, which I facilitate, reading this book leaves me with a greater understanding of what my clients may be going through (especially when it is difficult for them to express themselves).

Our task was not just to simply walk — we were being asked to place ourselves in the bare feet of the mothers and walk like them. We were being asked to focus outward — not on our own pain and suffering and the incessant nagging of selfishness, but the massive problems scattered throughout our world, hidden to us because we refuse to look up. That day, I had stared at my feet the entire walk — not thinking about the mothers or their journey, just walking onward. But walking wasn’t what we were meant to learn — we were being taught how to walk with empathy. Through Phillip’s words and the courage of the mothers, I learned the invaluable lesson that the world is much larger than the bubble we place ourselves in. It is filled with other people, with their own struggles and songs, smiles and tears, all walking on the same, long, treacherous, painful, beautiful, inexplicable path towards the horizon,

The remaining female characters that appear in the series are generally there to be gratuitously objectified and competed for by the male cast. The character Penney fits into the typical “girl next door” character type in several ways. Firstly, she’s blonde and very attractive. She also hails from the Nebraska and works as a waitress as she tries to become a professional actress. Penny is initially portrayed as a sweet, unintelligent individual who gets by on her good looks and charm rather than possessing a strong intellect or talents. Finally, Penny fits the stereotype of a beautiful young neighbor by being presented as rather sexually promiscuous. Men are often seen leaving her apartment the morning after she's been on a date, and in episode 401,“The Robotic Manipulation,” Sheldon seems to
