Accept

After you have carefully listened to the client, we must find the best response that actually validates the client’s position. Only then can we hope for chosen compliance. This often times does not happen the first time we try it. We may have to start the process over several times to achieve success. In addition we need to listen without comment or passing judgment. Remember there is no time limit for a successful de-escalation. When verbally de-escalating an emotionally charged person…

A majority of authors use a lot of the lessons and values they got from their life experiences to write a compelling essay. In both Nancy Mairs’s “On Being a Cripple” and David Sedaris’s “A Plague of Tics,” the authors had written essays that related to their disabilities and ways they coped with it. These two essay might be similar in more ways than one, but the overall message that they give to readers are completely different. Mairs uses her experience and disability to convey a specific…

numbness that Colin Wilson describes. When you know you are not in control and never truly will be, when you accept that you will always be a victim of fate, it makes it easier to give in to the evils of reality. As you can see, fate itself, while masquerading as life, can make it easier for us to throw the towel in most…

However, I accept the risks, knowing that in the end, like any degree, my success will be based on hard work. Leisure Time I tell my co-workers that “If you’re having fun, then you aren’t working hard enough.” I edge this sentiment with levity, of course, but I do…

I wish more people spoke about Apraxia in the way that I have witnessed it myself. I know it's impossible for outsiders to fully understand what Apraxia is like-what it feel like for the child, what the child is thinking, do they fully understand their impairment, etc. Fully empathizing with an Apraxic child is a challenge and it doesn't help that we aren't mind-readers. Despite this apparent challenge, I want to put you in this unknown perspective. I need you to understand what Apraxia is…

Being in the helping profession is not only learning about theories and putting them into practice. Being in the helping profession is more than just seeing clients and applying your techniques to help them. An individual in the helping profession needs to have multicultural competence to be an all-round effective counselor. A counselor cannot consider himself or herself to have multicultural competence if they only read the material. A counselor needs to participate and engage in an environment…

my SLE I was able to take away more from what was being taught throughout lectures and the readings. But most importantly I learned that, being average will never make you stand out in the ways that you want to, if you don’t help others how you can accept others to help you when you’re down, and letting society’s opinions about yourself will tear apart your mind if not strong enough to see the truth; all tahnks to my SLE. Not only did this experience change my views it has also been a wake up…

psychology is the study of the human brain and how it works and this book is not the study of the brain but it is why we do the things that we do. The book is about our biggest mental fears, and why we act the way we do and what we can do to accept our fears and overcome them. In conclusion, I really enjoyed reading this book. I did go back and reread a few chapters this book. The only down side to The places that scare you is that she does repeat a lot of things several times, also…

The Identity of An Immigrant’s Child As people transition from childhood to adulthood, their self identity is gained through their careers, achievements, religion etc. Although, it’s not so easy to just simply find your identity. It is said that most teenagers go through an identity crisis on their journey to find their identity. This is true. However, I believe it can be more difficult for immigrant teenagers or even teenager with immigrant parents. The children of immigrant parents have…
