Significant Changes In Rache Rachel's Life

Due to the extreme changes in Vanessa’s life, the therapist has chosen to administer the Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI-II), as well as Beck’s Anxiety Inventory Tests (BAI). Both tests will determine if the client’s feelings in the past week to two weeks are symptoms of either depression or anxiety. Depending on her score on the BDI-II, she could be experiencing minimal, mild, moderate, to severe depression.

depression upon Rachel. When we think of depression, we other think of cloudy days or even rain. “Weather is almost always symbolic. Rain serves to set the mood, or it acts as a cleansing. It indicates some type of transition” (Foster 45). The rain in this case can represent three important things, the sadness and emptiness she felt of losing her mother, the cleansing of proceeding to not feel trapped in her hatred birth given family anymore, and as she moves forward to a better life as she continues to follow her desires. Due to her aunt and father removing Rachel from the picture during that emotional time the Shilsky family was going through, all because she chose to live her life how she wished to live it resulted in her feeling that the entire situation was her fault when in reality she truly did nothing wrong, for her family (specifically her father and aunt) are in the wrong for being misunderstanding and disrespectful of her life decisions.

All throughout Robin’s life he suffered from depression. The word depression is often associated with feeling’s such as anger, hopelessness, and the loss of courage and spirit. Although depression can be all of these feelings it also includes feelings of guilt, and shame. Often people who experience depression feel responsible for that depression, which can become guilt. People who have depression describe it as very powerful feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or even the feeling of being awkward (“Depression”).

As a promising young lady, Jill is experiencing discomfort and anxiety mainly from two aspects. The first point is the panic attack coming from her studies and career choice. Jill suffered a great sense of loss as she failed in the Bar exam and cast doubt on her career pursuit, meanwhile she is anxious about the hyper-competitive environment among her law school classmates. From another perspective, Jill feels insecurity in her relationships not only with her boyfriend but also with her parents. Given her great deal of anxiety and uncertainty, it is not hard to understand her obsessive and compulsive symptoms as extremely finicky with food and sometimes bulimic.

Children and adult griefs are quite similar, yet children have a smaller range of language abilities to express their emotions.

During my interview with Mrs. Edwards we discussed questions related to my research as well as her personal life. I began by making sure Mrs. Edwards had personally experiences grieving in children as a result of death from a loved one. After confirming that she was a qualified candidate we continued to discuss how children of different age groups reacted to death and the effect death had of children individually. The interview with Mrs. Edwards focused more on the differences within children rather than their similarities. We focused on topics such as: the differences she noticed in children’s grieving in relation to their personalities, how popular television shows and peer influence how they grieve, how mental capacity affects a child’s

Loss of a significant person can be caused through death, divorce, desertion, separation, abortion, stillbirth, and rejection (Simos 2000). Loss can be permanent, temporary, anticipated, or feared. Simos states, death is the ultimate loss because it is final, and complete (2000). Goldsworthy (2005) explains how loss is experienced not only through death, but also through changes that we encounter throughout the rich tapestry of life. Nancy and Charley, believes their daughter’s, Rena, behavior deteriorated following the death of her great-grandmother, and allowing her to live in the apartment alone at the age of thirteen, after both great-grandparents passing.

According to Boelen, Spuij, & Reijntjes (2017), the death of a parent or sibling is one of the most common stressful life events that children can experience during childhood. Death itself is already such a negative factor in someone's life, but the effects it can cause on someone's life is sad. I remember as I a child being so sad, depressed, and anger while dealing with the death of my mother. Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) and Posttraumatic Stress (PTSD) is prevalent in children coping with death and grief. When children are

Picture a woman sitting at the table with a baby in one hand, phone in the other, bills scattered around on the table, and a look of despair written all over her face. This was the image that I saw of my mother at the age of six, a struggling single parent taking care of three children. She walked around with a joyous look on her face for me and my siblings, but I knew that inside life’s reality was eating her away. Seeing my mother depressed because my father wasn’t in the picture was unbearable. Hearing her cry on the phone to my grandmother at night about how she can’t do it anymore was heartbreaking. Having to do everything alone greatly played a part on my mother’s emotions in a negative way.

The psychological effects of childhood experiences can have a huge impact on who we become later in life. My father passed away in a crotch rocket accident two years ago and to this day it still affects me. He was a great guy, whom I looked up to dearly. There are several times I especially recall wanting him around. I had an immense desire for my father when my heart had been broken for the first time. I often find myself wishing my father were here to bolster me in my most momentous achievements in school, such as Beta Club and Basketball. When I am having an unpleasant day, I often wish my dad were still here to come running at me with open arms. Namely when I moved schools, I wanted my father around to help my mother decide if she was making the right decision moving me. Although I am usually a cheerful, carefree girl, the psychological effects kick in sometimes, and I become a depressed, lonely young girl suffering from low self-esteem.

“I can’t sleep. I can’t read. I can’t eat” (Plath 126). Over time she begins to lose motivation and self integrity and becomes one of many who have developed a mental illness.

“Growing cognitive and language skills give young children the ability to understand and express their feelings and emotions. Children ages 3 to 5 can recognize and label simple emotions, and they learn about themselves when they talk about their anxieties and fears” (Hansen & Zambo, 2007). This example is relatable to P. Fields’ past experience that may have helped shaped her own behaviors, feelings and emotions. Throughout the interview she talked about how close her sister and are, even till this day. Perhaps because of these experience they went through, they developed a stronger bond with one another, changing their overall family relationship. Many of these emotions and feelings are embedded in our memories that trigger particular responses and can even be experienced in the earliest years of childhood.

As he opened the door to his house, cries where heard. He ran to the noise and found his mom and dad, weeping on the floor. His younger sister and older brother were comforting them with slight patting and rubbing circles on their back. Lyior, one of his younger sisters, was crying along side them. Rob, his older brother, had tears threatening to fall. Rob never cried, even with that gunshot wound from the school’s past mass shootings. When Rob cried, something was wrong.
