Benefits Of Ambiguity

Anxiety is common for people these days. Not just while studying the night before a big test, or before something you’re really nervous for. My anxiety is around all the time. I carry my anxiety with me. My anxiety is undiagnosed, but when you have it, you know. My worries come from the guilt I possess. There’s really no way for me to stop overthinking things, and remembering old things that I feel bad about. Anxiety isn’t a heavy thing to carry most of the time, however, when it surfaces, it becomes the most abundant thing I have with me. When I’m with others, it becomes less of a burden, as they help me carry it, but when I’m alone, it comes back just as strong. Anxiety is sometimes hard to carry because it pairs terribly with depression, something else that stays with me. Depression is probably the worst

For example, when I get really worried about an upcoming exam or test, it often upsets me. Therefore, I would approach a friend or an adult that I don’t mind talking to and make them listen to my concerns. A strategy that I use when I talk to a friend or an adult is that I would try to pinpoint the most important concerns that I have and I would look at their reactions so that I know when to stop when they begin to lose focus on listening to my problem. Another way that I use to handle my uncomfortable emotions is to do exercise, especially yoga because the soothing music allows my mind to relax. In addition, the yoga routines allows me to focus on them instead of my emotions because if I lose focus, then I wouldn’t be able to hold a position for the anticipated time as it wouldn’t be as effective. The strategy I use during yoga is to choose soothing music that I like, for example it could be violin or piano covers of pop songs that I like. Another technique that I use is to find a place where I can fully relax without having people interrupt me during my session, for example, this could be at a park, or in my own

The purpose of feedback is to let me know what I am doing is correct or indeed incorrect as the case may be sometimes. It’s as useful to know you are doing things well and in the fashion expected as well as the areas that require amendment or improvement.

I beleive that if I cannot be open and honest with myself then how can I expect the client to be open and honest with me. Through experience I Understand how daunting it is to express your thoughts and feelings, not knowing how you will be judged or how others may react towards you. Personally by offering my clients a safe place to be listened to, showing them unconditional positive regard by showing them understanding and respect and helping them to gain back their locus of evaluation has had a positive effect on me also. I feel reassured that I am a good person that i am useful and happy in the knowledge that i have given my clients a positive experience that I have helped them through a difficult and sometimes dark confusing time I am being who I truely am as this is what I have wanted to do for some time now.

I will discuss what Anxiety is, how to diagnose it, and also how to treat it. It is very common and I’m pretty sure most of you know basically what it is. But just in case I will go over the main important things to know about Anxiety. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. For a person with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. The feelings can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, school work, and relationships. There are several different types of anxiety disorders. Examples include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. According to the American psychological association, Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and invisible changes like increased blood pressure. You can have OCD, phobias, panic attacks, and PTSD. OCD is basically anxiety that takes the form of obsessions and compulsions. I know many of you guys are scared of spiders or bees and that is

This is my life everyday, there is no stop or pause button. Anxiety is a battle with myself to try and find the sanity in this parallel world I now live in. Everything from going to lunch, going out with friends, walking in the hall, and talking to adults are all daily tasks that provoke this voice. However the worst part is when no one believes you. I knew something was wrong, yet I was put down and told I was just anxious. I didn’t even know what I was feeling, and now I was alone. The people I loved the most brushed it past like it was nothing, leaving me confused and afraid.

I have noticed that when I am talking with friends about issues they may be dealing with I find it easier to give suggestions or examples of what they could do to help out their situation. I feel that when I am with clients that I am not always confident in what I tell them. I think that part of this is because I do not know the client very well and that with my friends I have known them for years and have been able to see if there is a pattern and how they are able to take feedback.

To control my anxiety, I do whatever I think would help. When I wake up the morning of a presentation I try to calm myself. For example, I tell myself that the presentation is going to be fine, or if it is near the end of the day I will tell myself that it is not until later, so I do not need to worry about it right now. It usually helps to do this, but when I was younger I could not do it myself. My mom used to tell me these things and it would calm my nerves somewhat. I eventually picked up on how to believe myself when I try it on my own and now I can keep myself calm. If that does not work I tell others, such as my mom or friends, and they usually help. It may be really annoying to them to hear me complain about how I really do not want to do a presentation, or how I am scared because it is mentioned constantly. When none of this works I try to take matters into my own hands. If I am able to control the situation, such as a presentation, I try to get it done as soon as possible. I do things like these because to me it means that the situation will be over sooner and the sooner the better, especially with

I would always try to forget about the worry by immersing myself in other thoughts or situations, but the worry would always end up coming back around in the end. I am now aware that this happened because I was using thought suppression rather than actually forgetting about the worry. I was instead just pushing it farther down into my mind until it could no longer be contained.

Often the type of feedbacks that I provide is prescriptive. I often give feedback to colleagues providing them with an advice or an instruction that can help them out with their clients. Providing prescriptive feedback helps colleagues to look at their case from a different perspective. When presenting a client during case consultation, the counselors come from a place where they are stock with a client using their perspective. Using a prescriptive feedback would offer my colleagues to view their clients differently with the expectation that my colleagues will acquire new

Some of this stress and anxiety can wear away at one’s emotional mindset and can drastically hinder one’s ability to perform basic day-to-day functions. When faced with such challenges, an individual could utilize one of the following techniques to adequately cope with their stress/anxiety.

My mind has become increasingly frazzled and paralyzed by epiphanies, who's growing intensity seems relentless. There is no surprise in that which is always potentially surprising. Ambiguity seems to be repeating theme, assuming any coherency/consistency exists between these thoughts and feelings at all.

The grind of your day to day activities can be rough. You never know exactly what you’re going to be encountering from one moment to the next. Some people, well they enjoy the excitement that is associated with the unknown. Others, however, are riddled with fear and panic… Anxiety.

Sanders (2011) argues that “By talking about ourselves as honestly as we can in a safe environment and listening to the feedback from others, we can check whether the view we have of ourselves is the one received by others” (Sanders, 2011, p61). Feedback not only raises our awareness to what we say but, and perhaps more importantly, how we say it - our non-verbal communication. The influence of non-verbal communication on a clients view of their counsellor can be taught, but I was amazed at just how unaware I was of my own body language. During my first few triads I could not control my hands, eventually opting to sit on them which was perceived as uncomfortable and a result of my nervousness. “Receiving feedback gives us a chance to change and modify in order to communicate more effectively” (Tolan & Lendrum, 1995, p30) and creates awareness of the importance of effective communication when building a genuine relationship with your client. Receiving feedback can also raise our awareness of the value of receiving genuine feedback itself, as well as a need to sensitively communicate feedback to others. This also creates a greater sense of empathy toward others.

There are three ways how “embeddedness” and “ambiguity” provide understanding on the challenges associated with governing crimes against the environment. Firstly, the ambiguity between the illegal and legal markets may facilitate transnational environmental crime (TEC), which leads to problems in controlling it. An example of a symbiotic relation between illegal and legal actors is the outsourcing of electronic waste, as an illegal actor does the dirty work of disposing e-waste internationally for a legal actor (Bisschop 2012, 235; Lecture 10 Slide 4). Therefore, because illegal e-waste transportations require the contribution of both actors, difficulty in governing this form of TEC is understood in the problems of placing accountability.
