If progress is being made, we need to continue to encourage them and congratulate their progress. Identifying strengths and abilities in the individual that contribute to them dealing with the issue is essential and accepting the individual's values is paramount (even if we may not agree with them). Active listening skills need to be used when supporting an individual. While working with an individual who was trying to stop substance use we worked together to identify the triggers and when the individual relapsed we discussed what had happened and what they would need to do or avoid doing in order to succeed. Although it can be difficult to understand or accept when an individual we are supporting relapses, we have to remain impartial and remember , above all, that we are only human.
Being able to love is something you have to have within yourself. The three dimensions of passion, intimacy and commitment will continually take great work to continue a growing relationship; it is not a given in yourself or with whom you chose to love. Many miss the opportunity to experience such a love because they fail to realize it takes work. You can have the passion in the relationship; which is more the desire to want to be with that person, and you can have the intimacy of the relationship; which is the feelings of being close to someone, but if you do not have the commitment in the relationship then there is no foundation to build on. The commitment is where the two of you made a decision to love one another and maintain that relationship.
As people get older they lose independence, they become less mobile and aren’t able to do everything for themselves any more. It is important to ensure that they keep as active as they can to ensure they keep their independence for longer. Carers can help this process by offering activities that are enjoyable, safe and have minimal risks. This is important because it helps people enjoy the things that they are able to do, rather than offering them something they will struggle to do with the possibility of injuring themselves. They will also enjoy things that can keep their brains active, such as crosswords, paintings and colouring, keeping their hand eye coordination strong.
They form bonds as a group together rather than being forced together. They want to succeed for the whole group as it is a morale boost for everyone to do well and improve cohesiveness. While on the other hand a group that doesn’t want to work together and doesn’t form a loyalty/bond with one another will ultimately put the whole group’s goals behind them and work for themselves. “Related directly to good communication skills are good listening skills. These skills are extremely important in the communication world.” (Ellis, 2009) 3) This basically says that without listening in a group people will never get their opinions heard and ultimately let down the group.
We are social creatures, who need to talk and interact almost as much as we need food and sleep. We need others so much, that we, society, has developed a commitment called, marriage. Marriage assures us of company, even if it’s not always positive or helpful. Unfortunately, some marriages are not the epiphany of support, but instead hold dangers for both members. Only the best marriages improve both people.
Central to the therapist's role in client-centred therapy is respecting the clients values as well as maintaining a therapeutic nonjudgmental attitude. This relationship can be even be more important, especially if the client doesn't have any family or friends. Because most clients seems to have lost a sense of value within themselves, having someone perceive them as a valuable person, capable of personal growth, should have an encouraging affect. The goals of the client-centered therapist are congruence, unconditional
In many instances both partners want to be able to manage by themselves, even when they are elderly or frail, but caring for someone is a huge emotional and physical burden. If you are caring for someone at home, sharing some of that burden and having a proper break from it enables you to carry on without crisis. Your partner may not fully realise how you feel unless you tell him, so this could be the important first step towards another change in your lives
Although it sounds easy enough it is not always that simple. The family unit and all of the issues affect everyone in the family. Placing the child outside of the family unit does not solve the issue. When possible, helping the entire family into housing that is stable would be the best
In these cases, the sponsors are concerned more with reuniting with family than if they will be actually capable of providing for them. A sponsor with no money whatsoever will still feel that he should be approved for sponsorship, saying that a minimum income is necessary to be with family is discriminatory.
It would be nice to be able to provide a secure place for all, where they feel safe and do not feel agonizing hunger pains all the time. This place could exist within the US, but our government chooses to spend money on others things that they think are more important because they aren't going
