Caregiver Burnout Video Analysis

My experience with the live demonstration left me with mixed feelings. After 10 weeks in the classroom I have gained a lot of information but most of all learnt several effective communication skills to use in different situations when interacting with people. However, sitting face to face with someone where I am playing the role of a professional counsellor; is a bit frightening. During the session I tried to pay attention to the person in front of me

I love icebreakers. I hold a monthly meeting for my department at work; we always start our meetings off with a new icebreaker game. It really is a great way to get to know others.

After filming the videos, I was able to understand and have experience doing a mock session with a client. During this session, the social worker was given the opportunity to listen to the client, Ms. Lopez. Ms. Lopez expressed concerns with the removal of

I reviewed the above group project. The project is very well put together project overall. I believe students of this project reflected about the information that we have learned from this course. Their PowerPoint is easy to visualize and the information is conveying the message very well. They include all signs that indicate abuse and what needs to be taking in order to stop abuse from happening. They also addressed that people with disabilities are more likely being abuse compare to people without disabilities. They include some significant historical events and how far people with disabilities came from and some of their accomplishment along with their contribution. They define what is abuse such as physical, verbal and emotional abuse.

If you've ever spent any time on social media (and let's face it, most of us have), you've seen and shared dozens of inspirational stories. Stories about people who've achieved remarkable weight loss. Stories of people who beat cancer by juicing. Stories of those with addiction turning their lives around through faith.

The feedback I received for my focus video covered an array of topics. Some positive feedback was about my calm affect, and was seen as a strength in the video. According to the feedback, my calm affect helped to control the energy in the room. Another piece of feedback I received was complementing the high level of rapport I have with my client. I agreed with both of these pieces of positive feedback and found it reassuring that the way I was presenting myself was therapeutic for the situation. One area of feedback for me to work on was to focus on reflecting the significant aspects of the session instead of reflecting just anything.

These videos were an eye opener for me. It was heartbreaking to see how these kids struggled and some of them went a long time before anyone notice they had learning disability. I have learned a great deal with watching these videos. It has opened my eyes to keep an open mind when dealing with exceptional students and general education students where I work. I have seen it takes one step at a time to get these students to succeed.

Our fist discussion was regarding the video “Planning a Playground”. The group in this video was discussing planning for a playground, what it would cost to put it up and how they could raise the money. I liked how this group communicated effectively an overall worked together. I picked up on some nervousness but that was mainly because they were meeting for the first time. The only issue that I could see off top was at some points some of the members would cut off the member that was speaking. I don’t feel that it was intentional or malicious but to communicate effectively you need to let others speak until their done so that you completely understand what is being said. In most cases this is how things are misunderstood because you only take from the part you hear or stopped them from saying. I identified constructive conflict occurring in this group. Constructive conflict is when behaviors help to build relationships, when you are able to manage your emotions and accept and resolve responses. It’s when you have task-completion,

The fourth aspect of a dysfunctional group is lack of communication. I believe that this is by far the most important aspect of a good team. Without good communication it is hard to maintain accountability, trust, and to express opinions. The key to success in all the ice breaker games was being able to communicate with your team effectively in a manner that everybody you were working with understood the point you were trying to make. We have learned that communication is more than just verbal it is also nonverbal, such as the body language and hand gestures that you use. In my group’s ice breaker game and presentation we tried to demonstrate that non verbal communication was important through the use of video as well as when we required our groups of to use charades type gestures to explain to the person assigned to draw what they were supposed to be drawing.

I am not skilled in public speaking by any means and I know that with time and practice I can gain more confidence. I enjoyed picking the clips for the presentation because I felt it gave our presentation more liveliness and the attention of our audience. It also gave us time to gather our thoughts and remember to speak calmly and collectively, even if our goal was not fully attained. I am proud of what we were able to accomplish in the limited time frames we were able to meet. My personal feedback on this project that though it was challenging at times, I enjoyed being able to explain it in a way that was easy to understand from a student-to-student perspective. Sometimes I believe we as students get “lost in translation” and are afraid to ask to break ideas down into laymen terms. This project was a great opportunity to teach others the way that we think and understand concepts and general ideas. This class has opened my eyes to viewing videos and life in a different light. For example, in high school, by default a student would read a poem in English class and break down its’ hidden meeting, and from then on you subconsciously do that with everything you read. As for this class, I feel that yes I do review films for the hidden meaning but also to take a step back and enjoying the moment in which I am

Icebreakers can be used for a wide variety of different activities involving children, students, as well as parents. Icebreakers are a great technique to allow participants to feel welcomed and reduce their nerves in a new environment with new peers, while allowing everyone to get to know each other.

One icebreaker called the line, was where my temper was at its breaking point. A white line of tape was placed on the floor, all students stood at one side of it, questions are asked, such as “I had a close friend to me die, if the question related to

Many of the comments are from those in the nursing profession, it was interesting to read them as I can see this is a demanding profession and one that, as we said in class Monday, it is a vocation and people generally go into it because they are compassionate, caring people who want to help others. I am not in the nursing profession but my mother is a carer so I would often hear about the stress of the job, as my mother works with elderly patients she often deals with grief and burnout from the stresses of caring for the sick and elderly. After listening to Dr Kristin Neff what struck me was her explanation of self-compassion and self-esteem, as someone who suffers from low self-esteem I

For it being the first taping using a certain theory, I feel like there were a few things that were done well while in this role play. The first strength that I found in the video was my demeanor and non-verbal behavior with the client. I felt that I was welcoming to client and making sure that it was a safe environment and that it was ok to be open about anything. As important as it is to know the theories and techniques, I believe that this is more important in a counseling

This semester has been filled with informative information when speaking about our own social skill, but also other people’s social psychology as well, thus is why it will be very useful in future. Throughout the semester we studied everything from the introduction of social psychology, social influences, aggression in psychology, and interpersonal attraction and close relationships. A lot of the knowledge that I gained was not only from the “Social Psychology” textbook, but also in the videos and the reactions that we needed to come up with on a weekly basis. I like the idea of being able to watch the video to see if the experiment was successful or unsuccessful and commenting on it by giving my opinion if I agreed or not. For me,
