It is obvious that at some point in Amanda’s rising star, she lost her way as a normal child and got shuffled into the insanity that often accompanies stardom.
New Jersey-based clinical psychologist Eileen Kennedy-Moore tells us that "Childhood is about finding out who you are and being able to relate to others, and those things are harder to learn when you are famous. That amount of public scrutiny makes it hard on kids to do that. They can't mess up. So they have to adopt a very self-assured, precocious identity very quickly," (Freydkin, 2013) Amanda somewhere, somehow lost her way and needs to regain control of her life and address her depression, anxiety, and paranoia.
Theory aided to the Creation of Counseling goals Amanda has experienced her youth like no other child. Her experiences are unique to Amanda. She has intrinsically strong qualities for a young woman. She had great experiences and expectations placed on her. She rose to the occasion for as long as she could. Her perspective is unique to her experiences. This young lady also had a strong supportive family and no apparent trauma or abuse from her family or those caring for her on set. Because of this unique set of circumstances I believe that the Person Centered Theory is a match for dealing with some of the issue Amanda presents and would work well at bringing her to resolve those issues. It is apparent that Amanda needs someone who is empathetic to her phenomenological
Miley’s life in the spotlight led to the young star to suffer from severe bouts of anxiety and depression. Long hours, a demanding schedule and tons of attention coalesced into a wave of emotional instability. “I would have anxiety attacks. I’d get hot flashes, feel like I was about to pass out or throw up. It would happen a lot before shows,and I’d have to cancel. Then the anxiety started coming from anxiety.” (Miley Says Hannah Montana Caused Body Issues, Interview). “You get in this hole that seems like you’re never going to be able to get out of.” She has also struggled with weed. “I think weed is the best drug on earth. One time I a smoked a joint with peyote in it, and I saw a wolf howling at the moon.” Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs- social drugs. They make you want to be with friends. You’re out in open. You’re not in a bathroom.I really don't like coke. It’s so gross and so dark. It’s like what are you,from the Nineties? Ew.”Many celebrities have/is overcoming anxiety disorders/ drugs and it can be very serious at some point.” Source information? Last but not least, Miley’s accomplished music career and

In Cinderella Ate My Daughter Peggy Orenstein examines the triumphs and pitfalls navigating raising a daughter, in today’s mixed message world. From peer pressure and the need to fit in today’s society, young females have commercialism forced at them at every turn and in very clever ways. Doll creators have been pushing the boundaries of good taste with each new season launch. When the more “mature” actresses at the age of 17 feel the need to do something drastic to remove them from the wholesome image created for by company executives, mothers and consumers feel betrayed, and yet then we need to have a dialog with our kids as to why just last month Miley Cyrus was wonderful but now she is not okay for the viewing household.
This essay is an evaluation of two counselling models applied to a situation where a client has experienced loss and how a counsellor can create a therapeutic relationship with the client using each counselling model. It will also contain other skills a counsellor could use to obtain/maintain a good therapeutic relationship with the client.
As Miley Cyrus’s audience matured, she purposefully changed her image by creating a new star text that was the polar opposite of her previous. A star text is everything that we associate with a start, including their promotion and body of work. Her hit sitcom Hannah Montana built her previous brand identity that connected with her audience of adolescent children. Miley’s original image was known for being a sweet and innocent teenage girl. Now her current start text identifies with heartbreak, drugs, activism and nonconformity. The extreme change of start text shocked and dismayed individuals. Many social media users and celebrity journalist wrote the transformation off implying it as a lost girl in her twenties making slipups she will eventually regret. Despite the negative comments, Miley has embraced her star text using it for free publicity and media attention. Despite Miley Cyrus’s claims that her controversial change was not for reward or fame. Her old star text became mundane to mainstream media and her maturing audience, compelling her to reinvent her star text in order to continue being famous and successful in the music industry.
Miley Cyrus can easily be explained through the eyes of Sigmund Freud, the father of Psychoanalysis. Freud was the first to develop the “talking cure”, in which one makes their unconscious thoughts, beliefs, and motives, conscious by means of catharsis, or a free discharge of emotions. In this approach, it is thought that our behavior is a result of our unconscious motives. Therefore, psychodynamic therapy bases its treatment of mental disorders on the relationship between the unconscious and conscious mind. After working with many different people, Freud came to the conclusion that repressed memories, fears, and emotions stored in the unconscious mind must be brought to light to the conscious mind, in order for them not to manifest themselves through symptoms. The key internal mechanism for change here is insight of how the unconscious thoughts influence their behavior.
In her early years, Drew Barrymore struggled with Normopathy. Normopathy is described as “The pursuit of conformity and societal acceptance at the expense of individuality” (Your Dictionary, n.d.). Belonging to an industry of people who did anything they could to make people accept them really had an effect on Barrymore’s personality at the time. If all the celebrities were going out and partying and doing drugs, she wanted to be part of that so she could be perceived as someone who fit in with everyone else. Being an outsider in a world of famous people was not what Drew wanted so being extroverted, open and agreeable was how she survived as a young actress and gained acceptance from those around her.
Through Miley Cyrus’s years on her hit sitcom her brand identity and start text were made. Her original star text was known a young sweet innocent teenage girl that believed in love. As Miley and her audience matured she began to revolutionize her image by creating herself a new star text that was the polar opposite of her previous. Her new star text was completely self and media driven. Now her current start text identifies with heartbreak, drugs, activism and nonconformity. The extreme change of start text shocked and dismayed individuals. Many social media users and celebrity journalist wrote the transformation of, implying it as a lost girl in her twenties making mistakes she will eventually regret. Despite the negative comments she has embraced her star text using it for free publicity and media attention. Miley Cyrus purposefully modified her star text in order to make it in the music industry, she targeted a new market and generation using her controversial change, boosting her self-success, making her one of the greatest known evolved celebrities to a mass media level.
-persistent discomfort with his or her sex or sense of inappropriateness in the gender of that sex.
Also i think she would not survive in a normal highschool because everybody would be making fun of her no matter what she does because that is how high school goes and especially the way she acts and all the names and how she was on the air radio and how she dresses and how she has a rat that walks with her in the hall way and how she is just not like any other person
The mean girls from sixth grade didn’t stop her from cheerleading. Cheerleading showed Miley that taking risks is a part of life. Taking risks led her to quit cheer to become an actress, even when she did not know what the outcome would be. Clearly, if anyone is willing to lose everything for a chance at their dream, then that means their passionate. Passionate people are the best kind of people. They show others that hard work pays off. Miley knew that being an actress, singer, and songwriter meant waking up at the crack of dawn, going to filming, then to recording, then to interviews, and then doing the same exact routine the next day. There is barely enough time to breathe, but she did not care. She wanted the role of Hannah Montana from the beginning, so all the work that came along with it was a part of the experience. She states “but I do know this for certain- that you’ll never find your dream if you don’t reach for it as far and high as you can.” Once Miley was living her dream, she knew she needed to put in the hard work that came along with it in order to make her dream worth her
Because she knows that Tom is not a strong man. In another word to say, Amanda is selfish and hypocrite.
The “Adore” singer discussed the trauma of dressing and acting like someone she wasn’t. “I was made to look like someone that I wasn’t, which probably caused some body dysmorphia because I had been made pretty every day for so long, and then when I wasn’t on that show, it was like, Who the f**k am I?” said Cyrus. She seems to have come to terms with who she is, without the attachment of being Hannah Montana, and is
Amanda Wingfield was a complex character that encompassed many facets of her personality. She longed to have the life she had as a girl and young woman with gentleman callers and being the center of attention; her reality though, was a much more dismal existence with a son who worked at a factory making little money at a job he despised and a daughter that was as emotionally and physically
It also showed that her character had the hardest time accepting reality because her shyness sheltered and kept her from exploring the world outside of her home. This was emphasized by Amanda’s lack of concern for her children as she was blinded by her own needs.
