Role Play Lab Reflections
What was this experience like for you as a therapist or one of the members of the couple? The experience for me as the wife during the role play simulation was good. At the beginning, it was kind of slow to start. I felt like I didn’t want to come on too strong in the beginning of the session, especially since Nick was supposed to be the one with the anger problem. It didn’t take long for me to get comfortable with the character I was pretending to be. The role started to come out natural to me I didn’t feel like I was forcing myself. I also felt like the character came natural to me, not because I’m used to arguing with my significant other, but because a lot of the things I was saying I’ve either been told or witnessed being told to someone else. Overall I felt comfortable and had a good experience with being the wife in this role play simulation. …show more content…
What I observed from other’s in the room is that I felt like everyone was coming into their character. I believe that Morgan did a good job at being the therapist and was able to deal with Nick and my problems. I noticed how Morgan did not take sides and was neutral throughout the whole session. I liked how she asked us both questions about how our behaviors affect our relationship and she didn’t spend a lot of time on each person too long. I believe that Morgan had something to do with me being so comfortable in the session and being able to really get into

    Role Play Reflection: Motivational Interviewing

    Role Play Reflection The goal of this role play was to practice completing an assessment on a family, while using motivational interviewing. Since my group only had two people, our role play consisted of a social worker and a student, who was exhibiting behavioral problems in school. By using the motivational interviewing technique, our goal as a social worker is to get the client to say things and to help them come to the decision of change.…

    Analysis Of Couples Retreat

    The movie I decided to choose is “Couples Retreat” (Billingsley, 2009). The couple I choose from the movie is Jason and Cynthia. The reason I chose them is due to the fact that they are the couple that wanted to go to the couples retreat, Eden (Billingsley, 2009). When the couple first started talking to the other couples about the retreat in the beginning of the movie, they discussed the whole reason as to why they wanted to go to this retreat and why they needed the other couples to participate (Billingsley, 2009). Jason and Cynthia had been thinking about getting a divorce (Billingsley, 2009).…

    Couple Therapy: Collaboration Process

    The treatment planning phase involves a collaborative process in which the desired treatment outcomes are sought for and strategies are identified for achieving those outcomes. Hagedorn & Juhnke (2005) stated that the planning involves providing feedback regarding the conclusions that were drawn from the screening and assessment phase. This phase includes an exploration of the identified maladaptive sexual behaviors and identifying issues that may have an impact on the treatment process. Some of these issues may consist of health concerns, relationships with family and friends, co-occurring addictions, employment, education, spirituality and legal needs (Hagedorn & Juhnke, 2005). It is essential that the clinician educates the addicted client…

    Sound Marital Therapy Case Study

    According to Gottman (1999), "Current estimates of the chances of first marriages in the U.S. ending in divorce (within a 40-year period) range between 50% and 67%" (p. 3). Some couples seek marital therapy before they get to that point. Jake and Ann are a couple that did just that. They felt that their marriage was in trouble and decided to get professional help in hopes of improving their marriage. The case of Jake and Ann is examined in this paper, including the therapist's theoretical framework, case history, an in-depth look at three particularly significant therapy sessions, and results of the therapy and plans for future sessions.…

    Health Coaching Reflection

    I noticed how her motivation grew and how she was ambitious in her goal setting. It was inspiring for me to see how I was helping someone towards their vision simply by listening to them and asking questions about their goals. The only thing I disliked about this process was that it felt very rushed. I felt sometimes as if we were rushing through the session just to set three goals instead and ending up settling on certain goals or tweaking the goals from a previous week. I think our coaching experience could have been more effective if we would have spent more time delving further into the client’s vision to set even better goals that would help her reach her…

    Role Work Role Play Reflection

    Role Play Reflection Before doing the video, I became somewhat anxious at the thought of being on camera; knowing that I was going to be evaluated did not help my anxiety at all. After all, I am an introvert; even at that I love listening to people talk about their life’s experiences, and love to help them resolve their issues whenever possible. This is one reason I am looking forward to learning more about the social work field. I have always been careful at how much advice I offer a person; even more so now, after this class, because I recognize that if a worker is not prepared to help in the proper way she can do more harm than good to all the parties involved in the process. I am also aware that I am a social work student, and that my…

    Couples Interview Couples are an interesting family dynamic and, in this profession, counselors will experience working with many different types of couples.

    Good Will Hunting Summary Sparknotes

    What I felt was helpful was the therapist’s authenticity. He was very open talking about his wife and although his methods were not traditional they were authentic. I liked how he related to him in a causal manner. He even calls him out in an authentic manner by saying that he is really not confident, but scared and terrified. He believes Will uses books to replace actual real life experiences and as a way to distance himself from…

    Teaching Session Reflection

    When I delivered the teaching session, the experience was an overall success with students showing a clear interest and engaging in the lesson (Table 1, question 10, mean 4.3). The teaching began with a clear introduction to the key learning points for the whole session (Table 1, question 5, mean 4.3), which allowed the students to understand what the session was going to entail. This was beneficial to those who needed to see the big picture to see how topics fit together[1]. I further explained that the session will be split into three sections and explained that certain learning outcomes will be covered in each section. Student feedback stated that there was “enthusiastic teaching in appropriate sized teaching bites.”…

    Aaron Beck's Cognitive Theory

    Cognitive therapy was founded by Aaron Beck, and he based this therapeutic approach on two main ideas. The first idea is that individuals who are depressed have a negativity bias in their thinking, and the second idea is that the way individuals interpret the events around them contributes to the maintenance of their depression (Ball, n.d.). In a more refined sense by Ball (n.d.) it can be said that cognitive therapy is based on the premise that it is not the event itself that the individual faces but rather how they make sense of it that determines their emotional reaction.…

    Reflective Essay: My Experience As A Therapist

    In the first session, it seemed awkward and somewhat difficult to start the conversation. But eventually after some silence we started a conversation and it led to a topic that I was anticipating on. I was able to speak my mind while I could see her attentively listening to me. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the therapist, but pouring my heart out, and having her listen was a huge relief on my end. She was very reflective and sensed my frustration as I was speaking.…
