The Jessica Walker For About 2 Years

She had a very rough childhood, growing up with an alcoholic mother, and her father was not in the picture. Sophia wanted to be a school teacher when she was younger, but she got involved with the wrong crowd. The crowd she started hanging out with got her involved with drugs and alcohol and she started to make the wrong decisions, which at first she did not think anything of these bad decisions she was making, but later these decisions would affect her future. Sophia dropped out of high school and never fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a school teacher. I will always remember the piece of advice that Sophia gave me, “never let the people you hang around manipulate and change you dreams, because they are not going to matter in the future.” Sophia ended up following her mother’s footsteps in becoming an alcoholic. She was working at a Taco Bell fast food restaurant, which was giving her money to feed her alcoholism and give her rent money for roof over her head. Her alcoholism took over her life. She began spending her rent money on more alcohol, so she eventually got evicted. Sophia has been bouncing back and forth between shelters since she was in her mid-twenties. When she was telling me her story, she did not blame anybody but herself for her eviction and for her being

She began to get angry when she was middle school and then it continued to escalade throughout high school. During her 11th grade in high school she was expelled. When she was 16 years old she moved out of the house. Being raised Catholic she grew up with a lot of rules and emphasis on family. The values she was taught in church still cause her to feel guilty today with certain decisions she makes. Her father was accused of sexually abusing her, however she does not remember if that was to be true or not. He was then put in jail when Rhonda was four years old for drug trafficking. About three years ago the dad died from a stroke. The client does not talk to her mom anymore, as her mom is bi-polar and has an issue with

Beth Thomas is a BSN Registered Nurse who currently works with her mom Nancy at Family by Design, a company where Attachment Therapy and teaching parents ways to provide discipline but also love towards your child is available. Seems like she had a simple normal life, she didn’t. She grew up in a very unstable environment. As a result of her being abused at a very young age, it led her to have rage towards other people, especially her brother. She suffered from Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). This is a rare condition in which a child doesn’t form a healthy relationship with their caregiver or parent. She was a six and a half-year-old girl who had so much rage in her, she didn’t feel remorse or feeling for anything she did. She was

Paulette Jones has been experiencing many changes consistently with her health, which has affected her outlook on life. Paulette is constantly depress and worries if people accept her for who she is because her physical appearance has changed. The person she once was has disappeared. It is very rare that I get to see her happy, outgoing, spontaneous, and adventurous. She has recently visited here in Ga, and many of times I would walk pass and see her looking in the mirror at herself crying. Sometimes she appear happy, however deep down inside I can see her suffering as she wonders why she is on an endless downward spiral of life. It is very hard to look and hear my niece in such disarray on a continuous

My Jessica has not been herself for over a year. I knew something had happened in the spring of 2014 but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Her English teacher and I even talked about it, how she would fall asleep in class, she could not concentrate on even the simplest of tasks, she would hide away in her bedroom. I even asked her once in July 2014 if Jay had done anything inappropriate. She assured me that no, everything was just fine. I trusted her. I trusted him.

Jessica lives in a small town with her sister Sue and son John. Jessica just recently got a job where she receives nine dollars an hour. She works as a nurse’s aide and has a long 35 mile car ride. A problem for her is her car is not very reliable the cost of gas is really affecting her and there is no bus or other transportation for her to take. She was getting assistance from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) but is no longer receiving these funds. She works second shift and therefore she is not home when her son John gets home from elementary school. Another problem for Jessica is her ex-husband was emotionally abusive to her and physically abusive to John. Jessica says her ex still lives two blocks away and watches her

The theoretical lens I took on this case study was a holistic or integrative approach. The distressful variables that are applied Anna's life and current situations cannot be addressed solely based on one theory and require a lens that pulls together several frameworks to address each distressful factor in Anna's life. Due to Anna's age, low socioeconomic status, neglect, possible physical abuse, self-image, confusion, overweight, and hearing impairment, there are several diagnoses that she could potentially display, such as Social Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Separation Anxiety Disorder (Henderson & Thompson, 2016). Assessments I would incorporate for each potential disorder are as follows:

Everyone was angry but wouldn’t stand up to her. However, she kept egging it on and on about how she was the only one working and eventually, I snapped, I told her to shut her lazy mouth and that I quit. All I can remember was crying in my car on the way home because I thought my dad would be mad at me, but it turns out he was more proud that I had stood up for myself. To this day, I know I have an issue with authority, or rather an issue with authority mistreating hard working people just because they have more power or stance in the workplace. So I can relate to the Sammy who stood up for what he believed was right and stuck to his guns until the

As a counselor, I have a duty to report these issues to child protective services while also obtaining help for this client because she also has mental issues and needs some type of support system due to her having no family available.

Samantha has grown up with her clean, orderly mother who has always told what was right and wrong. She is expected to get good grades and get into a good college with scholarships and awards. She has been taught to be organized and clean just like her mother and to stay away from anything of the opposite, the Garrett’s. However, when Sam began hanging around the Garrett’s and meeting each one of them, she realized how different their family is from hers, besides being less clean and organized. They were full of love for each other and showed lots of interest in one another. They are always there for each other and help one another with school work or problems they may have. Samantha realizes she can’t remember the last time her mother has helped her with any problems unless it was related to what college she will go to or her future career. Samantha realizes she can’t have her mother find out how close she has gotten with the

A woman named Jen is having relational problems with her family and the church where she volunteers, both stemming from her new relationship with Ben. Her family has made it clear that Ben is not welcome at gatherings, and there is heavy tension when she spends time with them alone. Her church has advised that she needs to end the relationship if she is to continue volunteering as it is against the lifestyle agreement that she has signed. Jen is excited about finding new love and genuinely wants the support of her friends and family, and wants them to feel happy for her. The stress is causing her deep anxiety, she has stopped going to church, seeing her friends, and is starting to isolate herself. She feels lonely, conflicted and

She feels unable to discuss her issues with her boyfriend. Her parents both have mental health issues and Jane does not feel able to talk to her mother about her problems.

First, The story of my wife's past is enough to make anyone feel worthy of living. When she was eighteen years of age, she met a guy from the internet that talked her into running away and getting married. Their marriage lasted a little over eight years and contained much mental, physical, and emotional abuse. Her ex-husband on many occasions would refuse to let her speak with or see her family for extended periods of time, would refuse to let her eat adequate amounts of food, or would just physically abuse her. As I reflect back on these events she has encountered, I realize my problems were very minor compared to what she has been exposed to in life.
