This was my first meeting with my client, Michelle. Michelle has agreed to seek out a life coach to help her with her struggles of feeling incompetent. She seeks more out of her life and is trying to find where she fits into the realm of God’s plan for her. I explained to Michelle what a life coach does in assisting her in making changes in her life. We went over the policies and procedures of us working together and I explained each of our roles in the coaching relationship. Michelle is a middle age woman who has been married for 20 years. Michelle has 2 children, a son and a daughter, both of whom are now away at college. Michelle finds herself and her husband “empty nesters” and feels there is more she can be doing with her life. Michelle was born in Michigan but grew up in the Georgia. Her parents are not living and she does not have a fantastic relationship with her in-laws. Michelle …show more content…
I gave Michelle the Graph of Life tool (Collins, 2009) to complete during our session. After Michelle completed the tool we discussed why she placed the values she did on those things that were scored. I then asked Michelle to continue the assignment by scoring where she would like to see each area of her life, and place them in order of importance. Michelle and I then discussed her results and focused on what she thought was the most important areas that she needed to begin with. Michelle felt that her personal spiritual life, personal life fulfillment, and current ministry needed to be a priority in her current situation. This exercise broke Michelle’s areas of focus on her life down so she can begin to make small steps in discovering what God’s plan for her life will be. She can work on small segments of her life as oppose to trying to “fix” everything at
“The last thing I heard where the sirens. And the last thing I saw where a kaleidoscope of blue and red. And then everything went black, every ounce of air had escaped my lungs and had reached the surface of the lake in the form of little bubbles.” I told Louis Green, possibly the most boring person on earth. I don’t think he wanted to be my therapist anymore then I wanted to be in therapy.
I interviewed the practice manager Wendy Jones at the Banner Health Clinic March 2017. She just recently advanced to be a practice manager for the family practice clinic that I work in. Prior to her becoming the manager she worked as a coordinator for a different family practice clinic where she directly reported to the practice manager of that clinic. In the beginning of her career she worked in a few different labs within the company. She has been with the company for 11yrs. The company that we work for has made many leadership changes to reflect having a practice manager in each clinic and cutting out supervisor and coordinator positions in hopes to have the manager more available for each clinic. Wendy is responsible for most things in
My current resident assistant was unavailable to interview because he is usually a very busy and had a deadline coming up tomorrow, so instead I interviewed an RA that was working at the Willkie. His name was Vasu and he was super open with me about being an RA. He was really honest too, he said that the process of becoming an RA was and is hard and that it is a very competitive process.
Hi Jeffrey, thanks for reaching out. Is your client Mobilite? About 2-3 months ago, they reached out to me, and because I was only, only 3 classes away from my Bachelor degree, they did not proceed with the interview, even though they stated, I have the experience they need. Attached is my resume, my college transcript. Feel free to contact them, and see if they are interested. The salary we were negotiating was $85,000 plus the 50% bonus which was half of my salary. I'm acquiring my CAPM Certification from PMI, R/W-NAC from IRWA. Acquired my VA Real Estate License, and RWA and RWP from IRWA.
As I await the therapist in the waiting room, my mind is racing, heart pounding, and palms sweating. I’ve been waiting for three years to meet with him, but of course, Dr. Johnson was completely booked until now. Each night I have been taunted with an atrocious dream and ready for the affliction to cease. Finally, he appears in the doorway and calls my name. Instantaneously, I stand up and shuffle behind the therapist to the cubicle.
This shows that, even though Michelle sees her children every weekend, this is not enough time for her to not miss them. Michelle feels barred from her children which shows that she does not want to be separated
“How can I be good again? I just lost my wife and son in a car accident. There's nothing in life that can cheer me up. I have become an alcoholic who is now jobless.” I said. My Therapist, Dr. Newman, told me “Trust me, Mr. Smith. Only time can heal your wounds if you allow it to. Well, that's the end of the session, and I want to recall the accident that occurred so we can talk about it tomorrow.”
I interviewed a woman that works with my mother and have known for several years now. She had been summoned and questioned by attorneys six times. She was only selected three of the six times to serve on the jury. Her first thought was “oh crap.” Although it may not be seen as a very nice response, but it is a very natural human response and she is not the only one who has reacted in that way. She was very nervous receiving the summons; it was something new and practically unknown to her. Some of the questions she was asked were if she owns a gun, if she has a gun in the house, about her education, and mostly just general questions. There is one question that stood out from the others though. Once when being asked by an attorney, she
The main purpose in this phase is to assist the counselee in creating an plan of action to start enacting in their life. The goal of the phase should be to put together a realistic plan that they can the counselee can start carrying out immediately. “Wisdom does not necessarily consist of knowing what to do in an ultimate sense, but in knowing what to do next.” (Kollar, 2011, p. 127) It should not be a plan for the distant future. It’s one that should promote strong emotional/ mental health, allow for a closer walk with Christ, and assist in the building up of relationships around the counselee. The plan should also be one that the counselee will be able to keep rolling with well after the counseling sessions have ended.
I interviewed my co-worker, Mary Varela. Her family is originally from Little Rock, Arkansas. Her family lived in a small country town surrounded by mountains. One day her dad decided to move to San Francisco, California. Her father was a roofer so therefore San Francisco was a city with more possibilities of job opportunities. After a couple years later, Mary was born. Mary faced many struggles in life but the most that impacted her was her society did not accept her for who she was. Mary has always struggle with her weight.
Taking advice from someone you trust can sometimes be good, but it has its consequences. First of all, I take advice from my mother about my current boyfriend, because she is a very funny yet wise woman. The reason my mother gives me advice about relationships is promptly due to Jay and I always "getting into it", a relationship term meaning disagreement. Second, When I turned to my mother and proceeded to discuss Jay and I's issue, she gave me advice to ignore him, basically watch him beg for my attention. Her advice did work, but like most things in life, nothing comes out like you predict. I didn't expect that he would be so angry, he began to ignore me, resulting in us not resolving that day. When I finally
Right away, from the first session, I could tell that my therapist wanted to get a feel for what my family looked like and probably see if they were able to help me out with my problem. He asked me about my mom, my dad, siblings, grandparents and such. It got him stuck when nobody besides my mom knew about the death. I could see that he wanted to have some way of including my family in therapy, but I knew my family would not come in for therapy. That is when he started asking about if there were over-involvements within the relationships, who I was cut off with, and where there was distance and conflict at. If there was a conflict, he would ask where it came from and why. As well as asking the same questions for over-involvement, cutoffs and
My clients timing of his life is a very hard one in my opinion and personal experience. Being an adolescent is a very difficult time, since you are not a young child and not yet a teenager. Being able to go out with friends is resorted to parents picking him up and dropping him off at locations that they think is acceptable. Martin is the oldest of three, with his sisters being 8 and 3. All the responsibility for child care when his parents are at work is put on him, yet he is not aloud to do anything to discipline them when they misbehave. He is not able to enjoy his childhood and explore his identity of who he is and wants to be. Instead of being able to enjoy his childhood and be a typical child, he cannot since he is being put as a parent to help raise his sisters.
My most significant experience in my life is unforgettable. I was there with my sisters, my mom, and my dad. It was the most horrifying event that I have ever witnessed. The daunting image in my head is still clear as day, as though it happened yesterday. This event did not affect only me, but also my family. The story that I am about to tell you may change the way you see things and it may not. All I can say is, it
