Register to read the introduction… Role play.

I would role play with Vera so she could get use to voicing her concern to her husband and not be afraid to do so. This would also help her overcome any fear she may have if he responds with anger and or demanding expectations of what she should or shouldn’t be doing. This is something I think needs to be addressed in order for her to archive her goals.

3. Interactional and systemic interventions This helps address relationship patterns with other people, tasks and situation’s, it may be ones of family, workplace, or neighbourhood settings or in a social situation in which the interactional patterns have been established.
The strategies will help Vara to eliminate old behaviour that where counterproductive and to develop new ones, they may also modify routines and habits with people around her.
Q3.
Identify and briefly describe how you could help Vara to identify and use her unknown strength’s.

I would help her by pointing out her own achievement’s in the past, the fact that she had a career as a full time teacher and that she has managed to raise three children in that time, she can manage money well by saving regularly so she is more than capable of looking after the finances while living

Confront her unwillingness to change and focus on what events have brought this resistance or reluctance.

Q6.
Briefly describe how you could respond to this disruption in the counselling process.
I be up front and transparent with my client, explain the benefits, but the most important rule is to listen to them and their reasons for not wanting to be there, or not completing set tasks or goals. Sometimes it is just a matter of rearranging so that it fits into their schedule. I as a counsellor have to remember we are there to HELP the client, not push or cajole them into attending or completing tasks/goals. I would address the sense of hopelessness and uncertainty.

If they do not want help in changing their lives we cannot force them. Vara does want to change she needs encouragement, she is used to be told what and when to do it by her husband she has the strength to get a job and come to counselling so she wants to change…. Showing cultural understanding and revaluating her emotional and environmental

    One challenge that can occur is clients being reluctant to comply with medication prescribed. It is the duty of the counselor to help clients understand how important medication compliance is, by discussing the factors of compliance (Cramer & Rosenheck, 2006). Clients will have different reasons of why they are not compliant with medication; nonetheless counselors must present medication compliance as an essential part of counseling. For example, if Paulette decided to cease the use of medication because of the side effects, then it is the counselor’s duty to give her other options, other then discontinuing medication completely. Medication compliance is an alarming issue and must be addressed, since there are psychiatric and medical consequences that can occur (Cramer & Rosenheck, 2006).…

    I finally told her that life changing health behaviors could be overwhelming at times, and at any time if she feels she is unable to meet her goals she should get professional help, not for the long- term, but to instill a better understanding of how to set attainable goals while examining her emotional issues which might have gotten in the way. The 5-minute session does not allow for extensive conversation after the introduction and dealing with the presenting problem. It is important to be able to wrap up the visit and still make the patient feel as if you are not giving them the brush off. She expressed concern about your weight, hypertension, and family health habits.…

    QUESTION #1 1. Personally, I believe Melinda needs to breathe and think about everything carefully. Going to a peaceful location like the beach would be very good for her to clear and mind and figure out exactly what she would like to do. One personal characteristic of effective counselors that would be most helpful in this situation would be effective therapists make mistakes and are willing to admit them. They do not dismiss their errors lightly, yet they do not choose to dwell on them, either (Corey, 2013, p.20).…

    It is a known belief among people from low income areas that social workers only care about taking peoples children away so it’s best reassure her that it would not be my intent or focus to take her children away from her and to show her the same level of respect that anyone with a normal education may receive. I believe that by demonstrating an understanding of her situation and exhibiting a positive attitude towards her goals can develop a mutually beneficial relationship between us though at the same time maintaining the professional distance to avoid getting to close to effectively execute my duties. By showing her genuine empathy and helping her to imagine how far she has come and how far she can go I think will help cultivate an environment of trust. It can also open her mind to the…
