Wk 6 Insight Gaine Analysis

Wk 6 Insight Gained The insight I gained was that many are still struggling with a ritual to end the day. I have tried several different rituals to end my day and have not come up with one that truly assists me in disconnecting totally from my day. I am a thinker and tend to ruminate over what I should have done or what needs to be done for the next day. I am working on shutting down and learning to relax. Although, I do tend to use self-care, I find while relaxing thoughts come back and I must refocus myself on putting the thoughts away and concentrating on something not work related. Additionally, I learned that although a clinician has a theoretical orientation it may not be effective for working with all clients. It is important that

    During an era where mental health treatments were still rather primitive, Freud flourished as he developed a treatment style that was ahead of its time. In his article, “Recommendations to Physicians Practicing Psychoanalysis”, Freud discussed many necessities and ideas that therapists practicing within this framework should adhere to. Therefore, a comprehensive summary and interpretation will be conducted… Freud began the article with a disclaimer that essentially warned other physicians that he arrived at these conclusions from unfortunate findings, and that physicians who do not share a similar perspective and orientation may not agree with these findings.…

    When I started to read the book titled "The Fabric of This World", I felt that need to reread the history in a different way. The point from rereading the history is to identify the reason behind the work phenomena and the ethics, tradition, and how they were thinking about the job in old days to study the development of the work phenomena. In my opinion, this may reflect the insight of the development of the work attitudes and aptitudes. If I can analyze these factors, I can understand more also the development of the non-work factors behind the human choices for the career and the philosophy behind it. Some people want to work to satisfy their basic needs as Hardy, L. (1990) state, "If we are to survive, we must work" (p. 7).…

    Within the chapter, there were several topics that were presented but one that stood out to me was the ideal of countertransference. Countertransference is when a therapist transfers his or her negative emotions onto their client without knowing they are doing so (Callanan). The transferred emotions are typically inappropriate which consist of “highly defensive” acts due to conflicts in their own personal lives. It is important that a therapist sees a therapist of their own (Callanan). When a client presents an issue to a therapist and the therapist personalize it and for example, start feeling guilt (Callanan).…

    Transition Theory

    The Transitions Theory, a middle range theory, will be used as a guide throughout the DNP project. The Transitions Theory, as cited in McEwen and Wills (2014), began with the recognition of the “experiences that humans face as they deal with changes relating to health, well-being, and their ability to care for themselves.” McEwen and Wills (2014) continued to emphasize the interaction between the nurse and patients in this process and the role of the nurse in developing health promotion and therapeutic interventions to assist in the experiences. Just as in young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult primary care, the providers will assist in the transitional process to initiate and guide the process. The theory recognizes three main…

    The aim of this essay is to explore two counselling theories or theorists in depth, comparing and contrasting their background, theory of personality, theory of problems in living and theory of change. It is also necessary to assess their strengths and weaknesses as you see them and to evaluate which counselling situation that they would be most appropriate for. The two theories that I am going to discuss are the humanistic approach of person-centred therapy and the cognitive behavioural therapy approach of cognitive therapy. Carl Rogers agreed with the same main assumptions as Abraham Maslow but added that in order for a person to progress successfully they would require an environment that also gives genuineness, acceptance and empathy. He…

    There is a large availability and variety in theoretical models of counselling in Modern-day psychology. Though all of these models serve the purpose of helping individuals deal with psychological difficulties, they possess unique differences. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Gestalt Therapy are two perspectives that are fundamentally different in their approach to psychotherapy. CBT is a psycho-educational approach that believes therapeutic change is achieved by restructuring cognitive thoughts from dysfunctional to functional (Hickes & Mirea, 2012). Gestalt therapy focuses on awareness and creating real experiences in the present.…

    I have learned a lot about myself while completing the self-assessment questionnaires, and taking the time to self-reflection about my learning style and therapeutic mode. I have always thought my learning styles was an accommodating style, but since taking the Kolb’s learning styles questionnaire. I scored the following; 42 in reflective observation, 34 in active experimentation, 23 abstract conceptualization, and 20 in concrete experience. I discovered that my style of learning is diverging. After reading the definition about diverging style it does sound like how I like to learn.…

    This time gave me an opportunity to undertake reflective listening through active listening which according to Rogers (1975) in his “client-centered” therapy argues that it encourages the client to share the information in more depth than if I was only asking directive questions. This enabled me to gain information when the client brought out the underlying issues including those that I had not thought about. The active listening also improved my relationship with the client since I was able to express acceptance by avoiding any expression of disagreement or judgement thus making him open up and also trust me as his couselor. This method also left me with enough time to explore and diagnose the issue thus noting the new ways of approach to the…
