Reflection Of The Movie 28 Days

Gwen endured many hardships during her adolescent years, prior to meeting Jim and experienced even more with Jim. At the age of eighteen, Gwen felt pressured by her parents to live a life she did not want to, and so, she made the decision to pack her bags and leave. After Jim and Gwen met, the couple experienced even more suffering together, losing their jobs, being without a home and struggling to find the money to pay for a decent meal, they were constantly afraid their lives would fall apart within a second, and they would be left with nothing. However, the couple persisted and endured the poverty in order to build a solid foundation for their family. Gwen has left Meg completely oblivious as to what she had to suffer, yet is infuriated by Meg’s unappreciative behaviour, hence why Gwen behaves so offensively and harsh towards her daughter, and so, when Meg questions what her mother has ever done for her, Gwen snaps. “Sacrificed! Gone without. Gone through hardship so what happened to us will never happen to you. So you’ll never know what we saw - never, never, never.” (Gwen, act three, scene two). Despite her negative attitudes towards her daughter, and all the criticism she gives, Gwen only wants the best for Meg and to provide her with the opportunity to become the best woman she possibly can. Meg is lucky, however, to have a father such as Jim. Jim

When encountering an ethical dilemma, it is important for the counselor to be aware of ethical considerations. Making good ethical decisions is dependent on being familiar with models of ethnical decision-making, knowledge of ethical situations, and one’s own code of ethics. If a counselor is not knowledgeable of his or her ethical standards, they are more likely to break a code without even knowing it. According to Neukrug and Milliken (2011) say that few professionals are actually accused of unethical conduct during their careers, but those who can be traumatized as well as their clients from the repercussion’s of the counselors mistake (p. 206). Thankfully, there are many organizations that have established a code of ethics for their employees to abide by while in that organization.

Before a counselling session starts it is important that the client understands confidentiality. To be able to understand this the counsellor must explain to the client that anything they say within the

Susanna also has help from her companions, who are also patients at McLean. With the help of: Georgina, a pathological liar and Susanna’s roommate; Daisy, a sexually abused girl with an eating disorder; and Polly, a burn victim with mental wounds deeper than physical, they provide Susanna with a deeper perspective on what real problems are outside of her head. Daisy, Georgina, and Polly also provide Susanna with the kind of friendship Susanna needs to take on her destructive thinking. Of course her companions are not the only aids Susanna encounters while on her Hero’s Journey, she also wouldn’t be able to complete it without the help of a mentor. For Susanna that mentor is Valerie, a nurse at McLean, who steers Susanna on the right path to better herself and that isn’t afraid to tell Susanna the truth, [...] She said things like “Cut that out” and “You're a bore”. She said what she meant, just as we did” (Kaysen 84). Valerie mentors Susanna into the right path in order for her to leave McLean as a healthy

When Roberta wants to talk to her about what happened to Maggie, Twyla does not want to hear about it again and forget it. Roberta make Twyla listen and says that she did want to hurt Maggie, “because she couldn’t talk—well, you know, I thought she was crazy” (213). She says it is the older girls who kicks Maggie and makes fun of her. Roberta wants the older girl to do it and take the blame to Twyla and herself because she “wanted to do it so bad that day” (213). Twyla begins to grasp on what she said and told her that they were so young and did not understand everything around them.

In 28 Days, Gwen is forced to enter rehab much to her dismay. Upon first entering the facility, she has a horrible attitude toward the other addicts in her therapy group and the facility director. It is not until faced with the possibility of jail time that she starts to take her situation and sobriety seriously and engage in the group therapy sessions. I found the therapy sessions to be a fairly accurate portrayal of what takes place during real-life sessions. There is a main counselor leading the group through his or her struggle with addiction and the feelings associated with using drugs and alcohol.

A common issue to be brought up during the sessions will be Frank’s abandonment along with his alcohol and drug use, inability to care for others, and all-around selfishness. Frank will experience blame from Fiona and the rest of the family. Fiona’s newfound guardianship of her siblings, and role confusion will be identified and obvious during the counseling sessions. Debbie’s pregnancy will also be brought into the session often, as it was what brought the family to counseling. Debbie will present as silent and unwilling to come to a solution. A common theme of the sessions and counseling may be lack of trust in Frank by Fiona and Debbie. Depending on the result of Debbie’s pregnancy decisions, there may be continuing arguments, disapproval, and triangulation occurring in the subsequent sessions.

She had to grow up quite quickly due to where she was raised. When she was born her parents had been able to find an abandoned CBC building that had not been occupied for some time. They had raised young Gwenevieve there. They managed to come home every day with what food they could find the feed the family however that only lasted until young Gwenevieve was three as her mother fell pregnant again. They did not know at the time she would give birth to twins, as health care was more so of a joke at this time as nobody could afford it. If someone did fall ill you did the best you could to make it easier on them but most times they did not make it long after the illness had set. Gwenevieve did not understand this and worried for her mother everyday. Once the twins where born she had to grow up quite a bit. She was left with the twins alone once she was five so her parents could gather food and clothing for the family. However once day when the twins where five and Gwenevieve was 8 their parents did not return home. All Gwenevieve remembered was a family friend coming and telling them the bad news. The twins, Rosalyn and Ignatius keep asking for their parents. After that night Gwenevieve took responsibility for the twins.

In the fourth episode, she declines to grab lunch with a friend, only to have her friend react negatively because all Dr. Lambert wants to do is discuss what could possibly have happened to her daughter (). Her negative affect is impairing, because it drives her friends away, who frequently state “this is too far, you’ve become obsessed!” or tell her she has “lost herself in all of this” (). Then this only further adds to her feelings of isolation and detachment from the rest of society as she feels she is the last person left who still cares about finding her daughter. Lastly, due to her feeling isolated, she makes rash decisions and goes out searching for her daughter on a whim, even staying awake all through the night searching in alarming buildings and streets; these instances often lead her into dark places and grave trouble.

Lily Owens goes through an abundance of development throughout the story. Lily is introduced as a lost soul due to the overwhelming guilt of possibly being the reason her mother had died. Not to mention, her father’s physical and emotional abuse, which derived a meek and insecure young girl. It is not until Lily views Rosaleen’s courage as she faces a hard beating, that she gains a spark of determination of her own. She expertly comes up with a strategy to escape to Tiburon and learns to lie accordingly to reflect the people and places around her. It is her wit- the very thing her father had downplayed, that grants her to succeed. Countless times throughout the story does Lily show the needs to be loved by others. In the hands of the three
