Understanding one’s personal issues will help to increase a person’s self-understanding. A therapist who has undergone personal therapy will know what it is like to be a…

Journal 3 Reflect on any connections you have noticed between stress management strategies and prioritized values. How are they interrelated? As I have discussed before, yoga has become a huge part of my life. Especially while at college, I value my body and try to pay attention to what I put in it and how I can use it. Yoga, a daily practice of mine now, is a way for myself to move my body and maintain a confident perception of my body. This, I have realized, increases my mental well…

Integration Merging personal centered therapy and the concept of being Christ like would be what Jesus would do in response to healing mankind. While I recognize humanistic psychology focuses on behavior and PCT focuses on self, I believe having the ability to integrate both therapies from a Christian stand point would be effective. Scripture encourages us to have a “human” mindset to life by building up our neighbor. Ephesians 4:11-16 ESV states, “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the…

The heterogeneous group of students that made up the classroom have significant cognitive weaknesses in general learning abilities, functional communication, fine and gross motor skills, social skills, self-care, sensory, and physical development. In addition to their intellectual disabilities, many students in the classroom suffered with health care problems, including…

They are capable of calming these students down, and they help them return to a state of either pleasant or neutral feelings. The continuation of funding for these programs are important to students who are disabled. Music therapy helps them communicate when they…
The act of exploring itself promotes the active listening element of counselling. As a practitioner, if you listen well you can paraphrase appropriately when feeding back information given by the client. Consequently, this will help in conveyance of an empathic understanding which aids in the relationship building process. Emphasis is, again, heavily weighted on the importance of this relationship where exploration is one of the 'core components both for effective challenging and for assessing…

The following theories best fit with my views of therapy are behavioral, humanistic, cognitive, personality,…
"Educa a tus hijos con un poco de hambre y un poco de frio." This was a phrase that my grandfather would say to my mother as a child. In translation, "Educate your kids with a little bit of hunger and cold." Throughout my life, I have used this phrase as a fuel to get through challenging times. Especially in times where the easiest thing to do was to give up. This saying has empowered my ambition to find a field that drives me to further advance in my aspirations to help others in a holistic…
