Reflection Paper Of Trina Patel

The basic concepts of this type of therapy are boundaries, subsystems, complementary and alignments which are easily applied and grasped. The most important aspect the therapist must keep in perspective is that every family is made up of structure and that these structures are seen only when the members of the family interact. If the therapist does not consider the entire structure of the family and intervene in only one of the many subsystems are most likely not to attain a lasting change.

, I believe the authors’ were instrumental in providing a clear example of what the family really needed and searched for. The family needed to realize that in order for the family to make a real change they need to utilize a structure that included the entire family. They also needed to know that the therapists were completely serious

My first assumption of family therapy was to involve the parents and the individual that had the problem. This book explored further what it

During the first session boundaries and ground rules were set. In this session my goal was to get to know the whole family and learn about each of their concerns and what they each wanted to gain from therapy. I went around the room and asked each one to describe how each one viewed their family structure as a whole. I let Marge begin since she seemed to be the most eager one in starting family therapy. Her main concerns were having her husband’s support, her son’s

The overview explained the motivation from writing this book, provided a list of work to do. The introduction talks more deeply about the importance of being a Pathfinder parent to give the children the opportunity of growing making their decision and having a healthy self-esteem, including to understand the importance of letting them grow. This chapter also present us with a series of questions to help us identify how much work we had put in our families; have instructions for writing journals, system recovery, and more. This book contains 50 principles and a questioner at the end of this chapter to help guide parents and therapist to work with families (Messina, JJ.

On September 6, 2017, I were documented for an incident that involved a University Housing policy violation. I was charged with violating the University Housing Alcohol 1.2 policy. With my violation, came consequences. I met with The Residence Conduct Coordinator to discuss my actions and came to the conclusion that I would have to schedule a meeting with The Campus Alcohol and Drug Education Center (CADEC) and with that, a reflection paper.

Analytically trained therapists and those who work with adult children of dysfunctional families provide a needed and great service. The most fundamental purpose of psychotherapy with any adult child is to open a hidden, imprisoned, and extremely fragile part of the self, and convince it to allow itself to be touched by another person. However, these patients all fear, that if they open the door to the heart of the self, it will be crushed by the therapist, just as it was nearly crushed by the insensitivity, abuse, or betrayal of the parents. Psychology and Religion prescribe a form of psychotherapy that searches out the hidden heart of the self in order to unify the psyche and allow the spirit to begin a new period of growth. They advocate an explicit clinical

As we grow older, we are promised our parents will always love us no matter how difficult love may be. Jeannette Walls lived a world of an alcoholic father fleeing when he was needed most, an almost careless mother who often fantasized her life without the four children she “loves”, and always bullied for how poor or skinny she appears. Jeannette and I are similar through the close connection we have with our fathers and we are different by how we grew up.

The approach of the counselor should originate in the Person-Centered Therapy. The ultimate goal the person-centered therapy is to “provide the necessary and sufficient therapeutic conditions of congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding so that the client can freely grow to become more of a fully functioning person in a safe and supportive therapeutic environment” (Tan, 2011). Audrey has an innocent view toward her biological mother. She longs to be with her and often blames herself for the separation. Thus, it is vital that the counselor reinstates a healthy self-awareness to Audrey’s understanding of the situation. She needs to learn that the situation is not her fault and that she has done nothing wrong. This will help her to view herself positively and be more open with her counselor about the situation. It is vital that Audrey feel that her counselor is on her

I had multiple discussions following our recent exposure issue on PUID/PassportID field, and a general consensus was that we could use CID instead of PUID for drive various scenarios around profile fanout and expansion. Paul/Leela mentioned that I should sync with you, in case you have any insights on storing and using just CID wouldn’t work.

Child was 14 years old from El Salvador. Child came to the United States running away from the gangs and to reunify with his family. Child’s mother left from El Salvador when the child was 5 years old. Basically, they have not live together. Adding to all this the policy indicates that the family will have to be reunify in a range of 20 days. My goal as therapist is to at least educate the family about the challenging that may occur while they start to live together. During the first session which was conducted via Skype; it was emotional, even for me, the child expressed to be content, but at the same time his reaction was panicky, I thought he was having a panic attack. Further, I thought I will concentrate on the family dynamic and how they will relate to each other, but these population is different. The family does not entirely interact or communicate openly, and it is hard to intervene because the family seems to be comfortable in their relation. The parent child interaction is superficial; I try to help the parents to build a loving and responsive relationship with their child and to deal with their youth wrong

The goal of each session is to manage anxiety and increase the client’s level of differentiation, incorporating “I-statements” (Goldenberg, Goldenberg, 2013, p. 227). The evaluation interview begins with a telephone call between a combination of family members (Goldenberg, Goldenberg, 2013, p. 223). A therapist is to remain neutral and avoid being triangled into family issues. Sessions focus on symptoms in relation to the presenting problem (Goldenberg, Goldenberg, 2013, p. 223). The counselor gages each member’s perspective of the issue, while remaining aware of patterns of emotional functioning (Goldenberg, Goldenberg, 2013, p. 223). Sessions conclude with intentions to understand third-generation family systems. This part of the technique

According to Blom, (2006) “The integration of polarities is a prerequisite for a dynamic and healthy life process.” Therefore, all techniques and modalities from gestalt theory focus on direct experience and experimentation. From this perspective, direct experience is the only way that learning can take place. The therapist should avoid counseling and interpretation during therapy and focus on creating an atmosphere where the client can discover what is important and they can react to the information as it is important to them. The therapist is primarily a catalyst in the process of therapy. Oaklander (1994) posits that any interpretation by the therapist must be verified with the child.

Over the course of the semester, I have been fortunate enough to work with a student who is having difficulties when it comes to reading. My student does not have difficulties when it comes to hearing a word, but rather when he sees a word. My student has definitely benefited from one on one work with me as well as the additional help he’s getting from the reading specialist during their WIN (what I need) time. My student does not like to read because he knows that he is struggling and he is embarrassed about it. When my student goes to his WIN time, he does really well because the instruction is at his level and there are only two other students who are also on the same level there as well. Besides the current intervention, programs I would recommend are Direct Instruction: Reading Mastery, Letter Spacing, Wilson Reading System and the Lindamood program (LiPS).

This reflection paper has been the most difficult for me. I believe that Jalani’s core type is 1 and that she has a tritype of 1-3-5. Her primary type, The Ethical Perfectionist, was apparent once I recognized her borderline obsessive interest in justice. 1s are described as orderly, rational, measured, controlled and idealistic but can be overly-critical, perfectionistic and rigid which matches up with Jalani’s personality description. Jalani is also an attorney, and many attorneys are also 1s. The motivation for a one is to maintain high ethics, values and ideals and strive for perfection in an imperfect world, which explains her interests in social justice and civil rights, and her career decisions. Her passion for these topics combined with her ability articulate her point expresses her 1 behavior, and further drives home her desire to rectify equity wherever she sees a need for it. Ultimately, failing to create this equity would feel like a personal failure because it would mean that the 1 itself is not living up to their own high moral standard. Continuously, she derives a lot of joy from completing a task and doing it with detailed precision and accuracy, which goes along with the virtue of 1, perfection.
