Reflection About Relationships

We only wanted to spend time with each other, making social relationships outside ours difficult. Spending so much time together brought our first conflicts. I soon learned topical boundaries when bringing up other guys or discussing our different religions made John angry and uncomfortable. Conversations ended abruptly and we did not revisit the sensitive topics until much later. As our relationship moved beyond involvement, his protective instincts overpowered everything. I initially welcomed this protection as a sign of caring since I always wanted a boyfriend to protect me from conflict, just like in the movies. However, this overprotective trend stifled me whenever my communications with another guy made John jealous and upset. He tested my feelings for him by manipulating guilt when I looked in the direction of another guy, for whatever reason. At the time, I ignored his jealousy because my strong feelings for him overshadowed my needs as an individual. Looking back, I realize our involvement intensified throughout this period of our relationship, for better and worse.

The world around us is immense. It is filled with extraordinary individuals, places and experiences. The bonds we form are ceaseless. Every relationship that is formed is one that we would like to experience over and over. Relationships in the world vary from one individual to another but, it is a solid connection that we as a people want to shape in our lives. The different connections that are formed, shape our identity and the identity of who we will become in the coming future. A relationship is a way in which two or more objects, people or concepts are connected. To me a relationship can mean many things but one way that I believe every relationship has is beauty. A way where objects, concepts and people can connect is beautiful because it Is new.

The study conducted was an experimental study. In this study, an independent variable was manipulated and a dependent variable was measured making it an experiment. A correlational study is where you compare the connection between to variables which did not take place in this study. One group was given the drug and the other was given the placebo. Researchers took note of how the patients given the drug reacted. A hypothesis is a testable prediction of what can happen under specific circumstances. In this study, the hypothesis was: If a group with a stuttering problem is given a certain drug that stimulates parts in the frontal lobe, then the people in the group will experience the ability to speak better. The independent variable in the study

I trusted and respected him until my friend called me and gave me terrible news. She told me that he was cheating on me when him and I first started dating. She showed me proof on social media, I felt so embarrassed and I was livid. I called him immediately, sounding furious, and I could tell he was scared by the way he was responding. He gave me dumb excuses but I did not believe him, so I did not talk to him until the winter break was over.

The relationship I have with my family, specifically my dad would be better with enhanced trust. For about six years my dad did not live with the rest of the family in Canada, instead he lived in Nigeria. My parents were not divorced, but he wanted to live in Nigeria while we wanted to live in Canada. We would visit him on and off like during the summer and he would come here to Canada and stay for a couple of weeks. In 2012, he decided to stay here and live with us. But for the past three years, many things have changed around the house. Our routine is completely different and it's hard to keep track. It's not like I don't trust my father it's just that he has not been there for me all the time, so it's hard for me to just easily trust him. I'm so used to relying on my mother for many things and I still do till this day. This is an important relationship to me and we need to enhance trust so that we can keep this family going. My father is a good person, but I still can't easily trust him all the time. Trusting my dad will just benefit both of us, but our entire family. In general the relationships with my family. He is an example of a relationship that would benefit

The type of relationship I will be analyzing is my friendship with Jeremy Orner. The relationship model that best describes this relationship would be the one developed by Mark Knapp (Knapp & Vangelisti, 2006) who broke down relationship development into ten steps. This model explains friendship throughout our ten years as friends, so far we have been through 9 of the ten steps; Initiating, Experimenting, Intensifying, Integrating, Bonding, Differentiating, Circumscribing, Stagnating, and Avoiding,

Transference includes feelings that the client has developed toward the nurse related to similar feelings toward a significant person in the client’s early childhood. That is when the person transfer feelings based on feelings experienced within people and early life experiences onto you the nurse or perhaps another person that the client is involved with. Depending on that relationship, a client may either form a positive or negative transference. For instance; a mother was very strict which the individual found a difficult experience to be on the receiving end; the client may transfer those difficult feelings onto anyone that the client perceives as being in a position of power. For example; it may be an administrator, doctor or you as a

One of the hardest aspects of a relationship to build is trust, it is even harder to define trust and when it has been achieved. My significant other and I met while working a summer camp, however, we went to different schools. All summer

The trust issues may never fully go away. That doesn’t mean things won’t get better.

First Relationships Hobson 1993 argued that babies come into the world with an eagerness to relate to others. Relationships with significant others are important to our psychological life. Relationships between children and their caregivers are also important for not only their physical but emotional needs as well. The relationships that build between infant and caregiver is vital for the development of the infant in their future as adults.

There has been some recent argument against the current understanding of the place of relationships in psychotherapy. While most theories argue that relationships are important or even essential to good mental health, other theorists claim that the way relationships are conceptualized in these theories is insufficient (Slife & Wiggins, 2009). Most of these theories conceptualize the individuals first, and then talk about the way these individuals relate. Relationships are often understood as two or more independent self-contained individuals interacting (Slife & Wiggins, 2009). An alternative way to look at relationships is offered by relational psychoanalysts and other theorists, though again it should be noted that

It is not something we just give away or created by feelings or emotions. Trust is something which we need to earn. To keep the relationships, we must be a trusted person. We meet with people in everyday life, but our friends and loved ones are special. We can love any people we meet in our daily life but the relationships want trust. Trust, so that we can share our secret, happiness, sorrows. To give our hundred percent in any relationship, we need the believe that they feel the same for us. In any situation, if we fall down, they will come to save us, this is called trust. Most of the time, family members are the most trusted person in our life. Also, friends and lover earned the trust from us by staying with us, by telling us the truth. Sometimes, lovers lie in the beginning of a new life, they hide things to save relationship, but it is not the way to keep a relationship. Truth can never be hidden, it will come up and we won’t be able to handle the outcome if we broke the trust they had. We should be as trust strengthen a relationship, also there can’t be a relationship without

Many times during class I have taken notes and realized that the concepts we are learning can be applied to the relationships within the job I am in right now. When I learned about culture, I was learning how to best communicate and understand others as an individual or group. In learning about a conflict I was having problems with a few coworkers and not understanding why they don’t connect with the various cultures we serve. At times throughout the conference, I saw this class as my work relationship survival guide for this upcoming school year. It was great to be able to take what I already knew about interpersonal relationships and communication and assign vocabulary with actual theories to my previous knowledge. Throughout this course and conference, I have found many connections in the two most important relationships in my life.

The Research in Human Relations course guided me in the application mindset of my studies. Mindfully being able to break down information, from the statement of the issue to the analysis of data, to even an appropriate outcome that is beneficial to a particular field of study, is what this course promotes. Don Miguel Ruiz states in his novel, The Four Agreements, that we make different types of assumptions simply because we do not have the courage to ask questions (Ruiz & Mills, 1997, p. 68). This course enables students to not only want to ask questions but also build on their incoming knowledge with the tools to support giving back to the field and community. I long to give back through the power of research in my given field, and upon taking this course I feel empowered to do just that. The Research in HR course set a solid foundation for APA style writing, which has not only benefitted me through graduate school but will continue to benefit me into my career path. Today, APA Style sets the bar that is well respected in journals, books, and electronic databases (American Psychological Association, 2012). I found this course beneficial because much like each of my other courses, it further refined my skillsets for my pursuit of clinical administrative work and research on autism and speech in the field of speech-language pathology. Through each assignment, I became even more critical of the research I consumed. Being able to produce solid sources to help push my field of

The love from my family and friends are life’s greatest blessings as each relationship has molded me into the person that I am today. My relationships with my mother, father, Nanna, and my friends Addy and Kirsten are all ones that are meaningful to my life. By focusing on keeping these relationships strong, I, in turn, am rewarded with dependable relationships that I can rely on. To continue the longevity and stability with the following five people that have strongly impacted my life, I must continue to use specific relational maintenance strategies such as rituals and relational currencies.
