Added Stress Scenarios

I believe counseling is a collaborative partnership between client and counselor. Furthermore, this collaborative partnership is built from trust and acceptance of both client and counselor. I hope in conjunction with clients to understand the issues and concerns so to help them tap into their wisdom, creativity, and strengths to meet their current challenges. I believe in a comprehensive perspective through which clients can better comprehend themselves in the framework that our thinking about events can lead to emotional and behavioral upset. Moreover, counselors are to provide a safe environment for clients to explore their challenges and identify ways to move differently in overcoming these challenges.

There are many different broad definitions of stress and how to cope with it, known as stress management.

During this initial session, the client stated she is seeking counseling to "help find herself" due to some concerns she is dealing with in her personal life.

Cohen et al. (1998) focused on observing the impact of acute and chronic life stressors on the susceptibility and development of colds in people. Generally, the research question asks whether or not these acute and chronic stressors, in addition to behavioral factors impact patient susceptibility to two types of common cold. A hypothesis that can be derived from the study is that those with an abundant amount of chronic stressors will be more susceptible in comparison to acute stressors. Previous research on the topic from (Lepore, Miles, & Levy, 1997) hold the same conclusion that long-term stressors impacted cold susceptibility more so than acute stressors. Earlier studies with Stone et al. (1993) also provided evidence that stressors in general impact

two main effects. Water quality is reduced and there are social effects associated with the high densities. Some species are more tolerant than others and the less tolerant ones are prone to more stress. As a result of overcrowding for instance, stress in fish is caused by the elevated levels of nitrogenous products such as ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. These products in high levels can cause severe stress while slightly elevated levels can contribute to chronic stress (Ferner, 2001). Overcrowding also causes Social hierarchies to form within the fish. This leads to harassment, aggressive interactions, lack of hiding places, inadequate tank size and too few fish for schooling.

These stressors can shape the way a person lives their life after they experience them. According to McGoldrick et.al., (2016, pg. 40) clinicians “need multiple models to allow people to shape and reshape their lives”. The reason there is a need for multiple models is because the world is changing and changing at a rapid pace. When I looked at my nodal timeline I noticed some interesting things. I was raised by my parents. The first stressor I would like to discuss is the horizontal stressor. This stressor was that my grandfather died and he asked my mom and my dad to make sure that my grandmother was taken care of when
